Secrets So Deep: A darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller for young adults,dripping with secrets and mystery, new for 2022

From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and mystery. Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn’t believe in ghosts, but she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove. Local legend claims that the women in the waves – the ghosts from an old whaling village – called her mother into the ocean with their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the sea wants, the sea will have. She has spent the past twelve years trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally discover what really happened to her mother. As Avril becomes more involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole, Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And Avril keeps meeting herself—and her dead mother—late at night, at the edge of the ocean. The truth Avril seeks is ready to be discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost. Ginny Myers Sain's SECRETS SO DEEP is a riveting blend of supernatural suspense and young adult realism. As Avril unravels the mysteries of Whisper Cove, readers are treated to a thrilling exploration of the paranormal, the occult, and the complexities of teenage romance. For fans of Emily Mcintire (Beneath the Stars), Chelsea Ichaso (We Were Warned), L.J Shen (Truly Madly Deeply), Megan Lally (That's Not My Name), and Erin A. Craig (The Thirteenth Child).
