Genre: YA Mystery
Publisher: Between the Lines
One dead, one missing, and one who was never there.
In a sleepy town in South Carolina, nineteen year old Addy Marks has spent the past two years coming to grips with the mysterious death of her friend Beau and the disappearance of her boyfriend Mason. After the annual Dogwood festival, three boys were seen heading toward a local silo. When morning arrived, Beau’s body was discovered, Mason was missing, and Hunter, the best friend of the two boys, claims he wasn’t at the silo.
Two years later everything is turned upside down when Mason unexpectedly returns to town, but before Addy can meet with him he is found murdered. Coping with her best friend’s lies, uncovering the last standing Silo Boy’s sealed alibi, and protecting her friends from harm, Addy must figure out what happened that night at the silo before anyone else loses their life. As she exposes the tragic mystery, she realizes that everyone holds tightly to their secrets and misdeeds.

Excerpt
It’s my first time back to the silo since everything went horribly wrong, and all of the excitement and romance have long left the air. We built our relationships here, but now without my friends or Mason, it seems haunted…a shell of what it used to be. There are no more boisterous cheers from five friends racing up the metal stairs to play with the Ouija board, split a flask, or share their secrets. The secrets live by themselves in the silo now.
The looming brick structure that once filled me with such joy and adventure currently fills my bones with sadness. It looks so hollow. The farm grows quiet; I hum to myself, because if I stop making noise, I fear that I might hear the echoes of the boys yelling down at us from the window, our converse low-tops pounding up the stairs. The ghosts of who we used to be.

My Review
5 Stars
Addy Marks has just graduated from high school but still wants closure on events that happened last summer. Three friends, Addy’s friend Beau died, her boyfriend Mason disappeared, and their friend Hunter says he was nowhere near the silo. Then Mason contacts Addy out of the blue. She is off to find out what happened that night but finds Mason dead. Addy is determined to find out the truth but quickly learns that there are some people that will kill to keep their secrets.
I grew up in a little farming community and could easily see this story taking place there. I was instantly drawn into this story after quiet a beginning. I felt or Addy, she wanted closure and was not getting it. Of course she was going to jump when Mason gets in touch with her, I probably would to.
But just like the small, close knit farming community I grew up in, there is so much more happening behind the scenes and a murder was not that surprising. But I will say I was caught off guard by the ending. I did not expect that one at all.
This is a great story and one I recommend for those that like mysteries. I really enjoyed this book and will be looking out for others from Odell.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
