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.
