Publisher's summary

For fans of We Were Liars and from the bestselling author of Dark and Shallow Lies comes a paranormal thriller about a seventeen-year-old girl returning to camp to uncover the truth of what really happened there twelve years ago, the night her mother drowned.

Twelve years ago, Avril’s mother drowned at Whisper Cove theater, just off the rocky Connecticut coastline. It was ruled an accident, but Avril’s never been totally convinced. Local legend claims that the women in the waves—ghosts from old whaling stories—called her mother into the ocean with their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the sea wants, the sea will have.

While Avril doesn’t believe in ghosts, she knows there are lots of different ways for places, and people, to be haunted. She’s 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. A tight grip on her wrist. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, she’s returning to Whisper Cove for the first time, and she might finally unravel the mystery of what really happened.

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. Echoes 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.

My daughter suggested it and I'm thankful she did.

It's one of those stories that keeps you guessing to the end and once you are there, you wish it wouldn't end. Great book and not just for the young, I'm 117 years old and I love it! It's staying in my library. Excellent writing and great narrating.

great second book by this author!

I was very excited to go into Ginny Myers Sain's second book. I thoroughly enjoyed Dark and Shallow Lies, so I was intrigued to see what she would do next! This book follows our lead Avril as she returns to this theater camp in Connecticut that her mother died at over a decade earlier. She wants to find out what happened. She will be studying under Willa Culver, the award winning playwright. It is quite an experience and honor. There, she slowly learns more and more about her mother and her own childhood. I found our cast of characters quite entertaining, and as we followed Avril, it was eerie in the atmosphere, and the water was almost its own character. I had my suspicions as to what really happened that fateful night, but it was nothing compared to what was revealed. Great mystery, great characters, can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

Hm…

I didnt enjoy this story as much as the first of the series…the paranormal/magic aspect wasnt as intwined for me as it was in the first.
