this book is beautiful and gut wrenching at the same time. it’s raw and feels like you’re being ripped open and spilt onto the pages.
i loved the small town dynamics, the mystery that kept me guessing till the very end, and the whiplash of reveals felt like i myself was in the middle of the hurricane
the summer children will forever be in my heart

The author created a spooky atmospheric book set in a coastal Louisiana small town. The characters are multideminsual, flawed, and real. The setting feels authentic and is wonderfully described. Every character as their own secrets which creates a lot of mystery and tension. The book is a small town suspense book with paranormal elements. This is not a true thriller. If you love psychics and other mystical powers you should considering giving this book a try.
