When The Bones Sing
When The Bones Sing | Ginny Myers Sain
2 posts | 2 read
The past three years have been tough for Lucifer’s Creek, Arkansas, a small town quietly tucked away in the Ozark mountains. More than two dozen people have disappeared on the local hiking trails; there one moment, gone the next, not a trace left behind, until their buried bodies are discovered.
17-year-old Dovie doesn’t believe in magic even though she comes from a long line of women who can hear the bones of the dead sing, and for the past few years the bones have been crooning nonstop, calling out to Dovie to dig them up.
Some of the old-timers believe that it’s the monstrous Ozarks howler snatching people off the Aux Arc Trail. Well Dovie doesn’t believe in the howler, and she doesn’t believe her best friend Lo when he tells her he is being haunted by dark shadows. All she believes in is her talent that guides the local sheriff to the bones when they begin their song, then reuniting the dead with their families to give them some peace.
Lo doesn’t know peace, though. The shadows follow him everywhere. He soon learns they’re the murdered hikers and they want answers. But the truth of their deaths isn’t buried with their bones; it’s hidden somewhere deep in the hills. And Lo and Dovie must unearth it before anyone else is killed.

This is a southern gothic supernatural thriller that hooked me right away. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Lo, but the setting itself was almost a character all its own. She paints such a beautiful and complete picture of the mountains, the streams, the valleys, the caves–along with the magic that they bring–and the Howler as well. While my suspicions about who was responsible was correct, I was nevertheless enthralled by the story.

This book was the perfect blend of southern small town supernatural thriller YA fiction. Taken together this is the very definition of great gothic Storytelling! With great surprises and red herrings, this was the Nancy Drew style book my 16 year old self always wanted because it was real, current, imaginatively written and filled with all the longing, sweet kisses and pulse pounding emotions to fill any big screen
