Reviews

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 Sains debut YA novel is a story thats as alluring as it is unnerving and unfathomable. Blending small-town supernatural thrills with a haunting coming-of-age murder mystery, its 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, its a story that crackles off the page and into readers hearts, where it will stay for a long time to come.

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

Author Bio

Ginny Myers Sain enjoys creating dark, tangled, mysterious stories that exist in the in-between spaces where magic feels most possible. She especially loves writing for young adult readers because those years between childhood and adulthood are full of so much possibility...and so many big fears and questions. Ginny currently lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her teenage son and a very cowardly doberman named Shipley. When she's not working in the theatre or writing, you're likely to find her listening to true crime podcasts, taking pictures of alligators, eating tacos, or planning a trip to Walt Disney World.
