“It seems that this town has an appetite for the young; it
swallows them whole, right into its very dirt.
A key is buried under the front stairs on Water Street. This is my work. This is the one thing I have to do. I am looking for the things that are buried.”
This is the story of two girls, a boy, and a ghost. When girls start disappearing in Door County
in the fall, Maggie and her parents are alarmed, as the new residents of the
town. Even with the threat looming over
the town, Maggie still finds herself befriending the beautiful Pauline and her
odd best friend Liam. In the span of
time it takes fall to turn to winter Maggie loses a friend and gains a love,
but not everything can stay golden. This
is not a ghost story, but the entity that occasionally makes itself present in
the story is very tied to Maggie, Pauline, and Liam. It feels a strong connection and has a need
to protect them. As the past and present
collide Maggie’s true story unfolds and the season of the vanishing girls
eventually ends. A different read in
2014 if you need to take a break from completing ending series, dystopian novels,
and paranormal/sci-fi novels.
3 out of 5 stars.
Thanks Edelweiss.
