Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book.
First - those easily offended or put off by disturbing situations might want to choose another book. This one will definitely make you squirm and angry.
If you can get past that, this is a winner of a book. Told in alternating views of Then and Now, with short snippets in between to give more info on other characters, this story pulls you in and won't let you go until you find out what happens.
Lane is a very neglected teenage girl living in NYC with an apparently mentally unstable mother. After her death, she is sent to live with grandparents in Kansas she's never met. Allegra has lived her whole life at Roanoke because her mom ran off when she was young. This is both a coming-of-age book (the then chapters) as well as mystery when Allegra goes missing and Lane comes home to Roanoke to help search for her (the now).
I couldn't put this one down. Creepy, sure, but a great read!
