River of Wrath - Alexandrea Weis - Bog

More secrets are about to be uncovered, beginning with the arrival of a handsome stranger, and the discovery of bones long buried beneath the river ... "A deliciously disturbing and addictive series that can only be described as literary crack." Booktrib Leslie Moore is struggling to get through her last semester at St. Benedict High. Even her relationship with her boyfriend Derek is falling apart. But after receding floodwaters from the Bogue Falaya River expose the bones of a woman, Leslie becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer. Sightings of an apparition haunting The Abbey send Leslie and her friends back to the scene of the horrors from last Halloween, but no one is prepared for what they find. After a stranger--the handsome Luke Cross--arrives in town, another girl goes missing, and the sheriff suspects the newcomer is hiding something. Leslie believes the Devereaux family is connected to everything going wrong in St. Benedict. And she means to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Not all secrets can be kept silent. Some eventually find their way home. * * * "Pretty Little Liars meets True Detective." Laura Quinn, Author of Thicker than Water "A compelling and masterfully written murder mystery series." San Francisco Book Review "A rising body count, a dark pact among friends, and a wholly evocative world propel this small-town mystery to epic heights. Highly recommended." BestThrillers "For those interested in not just murder mysteries, but the underlying influences that create criminal psyches and victims alike." Midwest Book Review "I was left with an eerie feeling I couldn't shake off." @Pagesinthebreeze "From the beginning, this book started off strong [and] reminds me somewhat of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder." @GavinsBooknook "Murder, family drama, hidden secrets, and supernatural flourishes keep this book as compelling as its predecessor." Fearnerd "An equally intense and bone-chilling sequel. @AlohaBooksAndBujos "If you're a fan of creepy ghost stories and gothic murder mysteries you need to jump on this series." ReadAllAboutIt
