Publisher's summary

Everyone says things are different in Minera springs. From the outside, it looks like an average little Texas town. But it has dark secrets. 

In 1982, Tobi Sloan is sent to live with her grandparents while her mama tries to get clean. Things on the farm aren't so bad, though. That is, until Tobi meets a boy named Riley, who shares thrilling tales about their quiet little town.

He tells her of the Union Hill Bride, who murdered her husband and still wanders the countryside. And there’s the mysterious creature who lives beneath the bridge, feeding on passersby.

When several girls around the county go missing, their tall tales don’t seem so far-fetched anymore. Which ones are true, though? Tobi doesn’t believe in nonsense like monsters and evil spirits.

But, as her mama once told her, we all have our ghosts.

Great narration

The narrator brought the characters to life. Had really great pacing and character voices. It was a good easy “read.”

Interesting characters brought to life!

Wonderful narration of an intriguing and suspenseful story! Jamie Giani does an impressive job of bringing each character to life, and seamlessly transitioning between them. The way she ages the voices of the main characters is also very realistic and believable! I look forward listening to the next book! Highly recommend!

I fell in love with Tobi and Riley

Tobi (girl) and Riley (boy) are just two small-town kids brought together by fate when they are both 10 years old. As they grow up, they grow together, developing a deep bond that they believe can weather all the "ghosts" of Minera Springs and the drama of their family lives. Their story is sweet, but their bond is tested as big tragedy comes into their lives, and girls continue to go missing in their community. This book really follows Tobi and Riley's relationship from 10 to 18 and gives a glimpse into a slice of life in Minera, Texas. The narration really brings the characters to life. If you like young love, coming-of-age stories, with a heavy does of mystery, you'll enjoy this book. And you'll wish you had a friend like Tobi or Riley to enjoy simple pleasures with, like skipping rocks, and who would be willing to do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
