Synopsis: Small towns hold secrets. A small town in the Ozark Mountains has deeper secrets and 16 year old Lucy Dane is determined to find them.

Will she become the next victim? Some secrets are better left unturned.
My rating: 3 stars
My opinion: I enjoyed this novel written, in the beginning, as 2 points of view (POV) and 2 timelines. Three quarters of the way in, the author started to bring in more POV's that threw the story off and really dropped it in ratings for me. I thought the ending was a given and there was no surprises whatsoever. It was good for a debut-not great by any means. I might give the author one more shot, but if the same issues exist, that would be it.
