So many secrets. Deep Louisiana paranormal vibes. I devoured this one. All from the POV of Grey, one of 10 "Summer Children" (a group of friends all born during the same summer). This takes place in La Cachette, Louisiana, the Psychic Capitol of the world. It was atmospheric and the pacing was perfect. This is meant for a YA/NA audience, but the content is dark and witchy. The little snippets of premonition between chapters were eery and gripping. I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation, and it got to a point where facts and truths became myths and lies. The climax was powerful, devastating, and worth the wait.

Nadpřirozený ya mystery thriller mě na první pohled zaujal už svou temnou obálkou a přesně ta samá atmosféra na vás dýchá i při čtení.

Grey se na léto vrací k babičce do La Chachette v Louisianě. Je to malé městečko obklopené bažinami, kde kraluje obří Willie Nelson (aligátor) a občas v křoví zahlédnete plížícího se ploskolebce.
Tentokrát jsou ale letní měsíce v La Chachette jiné, protože se beze stopy ztratila dívka Elora - nejlepší kamarádka Grey - a parta přátel se snaží zjistit, co se stalo.

Po pár stranách se děj začal táhnout a zápletka se pořádně rozjela až za polovinou. Do té doby autorka sázela hlavně na postavy a vztahy mezi nimi. A mě to bavilo, i když se tam nic nedělo.

Zamilovala jsem se do toho místa, bylo brilantně popsané. Temné a kruté lži jsou napínavé, mrazivé se špetkou magie, která se mi líbila a pokud máte rádi ya thrillery, není nad čím váhat.
