Thank you BookishFirst and Razorbill for the ARC of DARK AND SHALLOW LIES.
DARK AND SHALLOW LIES is a YA mystery that centers around a missing girl (Elora) in a small Louisiana bayou town. Just about everyone in this small town has magical powers, which makes the disappearance all the more eerie. Elora has a group of friends who have been extremely close since birth, but Elora�s disappearance starts to show the cracks in some of their friendships.
This book is perfect for fans of YA fantasy. I myself am not particularly drawn to this genre, and I think that deeply impacted the experience I had with the book. I thought it was okay, definitely overwritten at times, and the ending was not my favorite. What I did enjoy was the main character, Grey, and the semi-love triangle she found herself in. Grey�s grandmother, Honey, was also a great character that I loved learning more about. Overall this wasn�t for me, but I would encourage my YA fantasy fans to give it a try!

AMAZING Ambience and Suspenseful Story!
Alright, so I�m just� I�m just speechless. Well not COMPLETELY speechless because I do need to write a review, but you get my point. I�m honestly still processing what I just read in this book. I finished it like five minutes ago and my emotions are EVERYWHERE! From the very first page, I was captivated. I seriously don�t think I�ve ever been so captivated by a book by sheer atmosphere alone. Ginny Myers Sain truly painted a picture and created the best ambiance in this book, and I don�t think I�ll ever truly get La Cachette out of my mind.
While there were a couple of times where I feel certain things should have been portrayed better, this book was incredibly immersive. There were so many moments where I really felt as though I was there with Grey and experiencing everything along with her. Every sight, smell, emotion, I felt all of it and it has caused a MASSIVE book hangover! It has been so long since I�ve been so enthralled in a book and it�s never really been because of the sheer environment. Now don�t get me wrong, there have been some pretty good world-building in other books I�ve read, but this author had SO MANY components that went into building this deep south ambiance, that it�s just� wow.
Now for the story. There was never a moment when I was bored. This is the mark of a good thriller in my opinion. When I feel the constant need to keep turning pages, that�s how I know it�s a good thriller! Every page had so much substance to it. That�s the best way I could put it, to be honest. Each page was dripping with a dark and suspenseful atmosphere, and I could see everything playing in my head.
There is no way you could understand how much of an emotional impact this book had just based on this article. I wish I could express it so much better, but this is the best I can do. This is an author that I obviously plan on keeping my eye on as she publishes more (this is her debut novel). Anyway, I beg of you to pick this book up when it�s released if you�re interested in a thriller!
