It’s only in the shadowy deep of Hidden Glen Springs that she can breathe. When a strange girl named Rio rolls into town, hell-bent on figuring out who killed Bailey and Celeste, Tru can't resist entangling herself in the thrill of solving the decades old mystery any more than she can resist her familiar, aching attraction to Rio.As the summer heat ignites, so does the spark between Tru and Rio…along with their otherworldy connection to Bailey and Celeste.

And if they keep digging into the past, Tru and Rio know this time, it could be their blood that makes the springs run red.

"(4.5 stars) This was the second book by this author that I’ve read, and it was better than the other book. It provided a more unique twist on the unsolved murder trope, with a bit more of a supernatural element. I also liked the romance dynamic between Tru and Rio, which was surprised by because the author’s previous books had male/female romances and not lesbian ones. East annoyed me a little, he felt like the stereotypical “oh baby I love you” person, but at least he got what he deserved (okay he was also a good character too). And the plot twists were really effective, including the ending. But the pacing was off: it was a little slow in some parts, and while some parts were eerie, I wasn’t really afraid or was screaming in those moments. They just felt… lackluster. Other than that, I recommend this if you want a unique, twisty thriller/horror read."
