Reviews for Dark and Shallow Lies:
Dark and Shallow Lies oozes atmosphere and dread [...] An intense and brooding thriller laced with the supernatural and killer twists.' - Observer

'A page-turning thriller . . .' - IRISH TIMES

"Few books have stuck with me quite as much as Dark and Shallow Lies did this year. Like its ominous and isolated Louisiana bayou setting, Ginny Myers Sain's debut YA novel is a story that's as alluring as it is unnerving and unfathomable. Blending small-town supernatural thrills with a haunting coming-of-age murder mystery, it's the kind of deeply atmospheric book that makes you live every second with its heart-breaking cast of young and troubled characters. Taking place, as Ginny Myers Sain describes it, in the "in-between spaces where magic feels most possible", it's a story that crackles off the page and into readers' hearts, where it will stay for a long time to come."

"Don't even try to resist-Ginny Myers Sain will lure you into the spellbinding world of the deep Louisiana bayou with this riveting missing girl mystery populated by a bewitching cast of characters; spun to life in lush, atmospheric prose; and teeming with a dark mythology that is part folklore, part psychic mysticism, and entirely compelling." -Kit Frick, author of I Killed Zoe Spanos

"Haunting and arresting, this is one stunning debut. Ginny Myers Sain has written a totally engrossing small-town mystery about what happens when you finally dig up long-buried secrets." -Jessica Goodman, bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us
