In the south, everyone has a secret--and murder is served with sweet tea.
The word's out: Ethan Wilder’s coming back to town, and the people of Bowie, Georgia are in a southern tizzy. Everyone knows the story. He shot and killed his sister four years ago, and people say his father, Jim Wilder, the biggest holy roller this side of the Mississippi, sent him packing for just that reason. Even if her death was unofficially ruled a suicide, Ethan’s return has everybody talking.
Seventeen-year-old Delilah Doherty can’t go anywhere without hearing his name. Born and raised in Bowie, Delilah knows firsthand about the gossipmongers and how they love a good scandal. The daughter of a wild child and niece of the local psychic, she’s also the only one who doubts Ethan’s guilt.
After Ethan saves her life, the two start a slow and steady burn neither can deny. But when Bowie's spiritual leader is nearly murdered, it rocks the small southern town to its core. Delilah and Ethan are caught in the crossfire, their relationship threatened before it's even begun. Someone has it out for Ethan's family. With everyone convinced of Ethan's guilt, it's up to Delilah to unravel the mystery before someone else gets hurt or worse...dead.
The mystery about Ethan Wilder has put me on curious mode, right from the beginning - who is he? Is it true as what the rumors been told? Why he did it in the first place? All questions keep on flooding in me and it didn't give any answer or clue to all the questions just yet which I did feel kind of frustrating but that won't stop me from reading the book.
The mystery about Ethan Wilder surface again when he is back in town. Everybody talking about Ethan Wilder and many of them afraid of him because the rumors said that he is the one who responded to her sister's death. While Delilah, people are talking about her too but it is because of her family's reputation which wasn't that good and she been bullied and harassing by not only from her schoolmate but also from a teacher.
There are a lot of things I would like to spill it here but with regards to how mystery the book is, I guess I should stick to that theme too. Anyway, I definitely enjoy reading this and would likely recommend you to read it too.
