Grey is back in her tiny little hometown for the summer, a place she dreams of being able to return to for good once she turns 18. But this summer is different… her best friend, her twin flame, is missing. Gone without a trace. In a place full of psychics, you would think that someone would have answers.

It’s also almost 13 years since the murder of twin girls in the same tiny town. So many secrets buried in the bayou. Grey feels she has to figure out what happened to Elora before she heads back to Arkansas for the school year. While searching for those answers, she may also find some for the twins’ murder. Accusations fly left and right, and in the end, it’s not who I expected. Secrets are discovered, and the town is left in ruins.

I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed as everything is explained in the last two (not terribly long) chapters. It was a good read, though.
