Don't Tell a Soul by Kirsten Miller

4.0

Bram has left the city to join her Uncle James in the tiny town of Louth. He is recovering from the fire at his manor and the death of his second wife. She is recovering from some problems of her own. Her Mom doesn’t want her around and she doesn’t have any other family to turn to, plus she used to look up to her Uncle. Louth is a tiny town and people know everything about everyone, or so they think. There are lots of rumors floating around about the Dead Girls that haunt her Uncle’s manor. Bram doesn’t believe in ghosts though and feels that there is more to the story of these girls. Even though strange things start happening and she isn’t sure who she can entirely trust, Bram isn’t scared away by these things but digs her heels in even more in trying to solve the mysteries of the Dead Girls.

The very opening of this book made me think it was going to be set in the past, but it is set in a more present time as there is social media, cell phones, and the Internet. This book was a slow build in the beginning. There were hints of what happened to Bram herself, causing her to leave town, but it wasn’t until several chapters into the book that we actually learn the truth. The book did keep me guessing as to what happened to the Dead Girls, if there were ghosts and how everything fit together.
