I am so excited to be a part the Harper Teen Winter 2016 Tour! Harper Teen has so many amazing books coming out! I am doubly excited that I get to feature Behold the Bones by Natalie C. Parker! It’s a companion to Beware the Wild, which I adored. I cannot wait to read the new one!
About the Book:
Candace “Candy” Pickens has been obsessed with the swamp lore of her tiny Louisiana town for . . . forever. Name any ghostly swamp figure and Candy will recite the entire tale in a way that will curl your toes and send chills up your spine.
That doesn’t mean Candy’s a believer, however. Even though she and her friends entered the swamp at the start of summer and left it changed, Candy’s the only one who can’t see or feel the magical swamp Shine. She’s also the only one who can’t see the ghosts that have been showing up and spooking everyone in town ever since. So Candy concentrates on other things—real things. Like fighting with her mother and plotting her escape from her crazy town.
But ghosts aren’t the only newcomers in Sticks, Louisiana. The King family arrives like a hurricane: in a blur and unwanted—at least by Candy. Mr. King is intent on filming the rumored ghostly activity for his hit TV show, Local Haunts. And while Candy can’t ignore how attracted she is to eighteen-year-old Gage King and how much his sister, Nova, wants to be friends, she’s still suspicious of the King family.
As Candy tries to figure out why the Kings are really in town and why the swamp that had previously cast her aside now seems to be invading every crack in her logical, cynical mind, she stumbles across the one piece of swamp lore she didn’t know. It’s a tale that’s more truth than myth, and may have all the answers . . . and its roots are in Candy’s own family tree.

How have I not heard of this? I usually know like 90% of the Harper Teen books coming out. The same happened with the last book on the tour. *sigh* Guess I’m just losing my touch. Thanks for sharing!

I have seen this around but never really knew what it’s about. The summary kind of confuses me but it also intrigues me at the same time 🙂

I love that cover! I actually planned to read Beware the Wild this month, but I never got around to it. Both books sound like such creepy reads!
