“A sizzling Southern tale of murder.” ~ Altered Instincts
Summer in South Carolina – a time of ripe peaches, crackling bonfires, trips to the lake, and the rural legend of a creature known as the Lizard Man.
This year, a very real monster is lurking about.
The victims all have one thing in common – they share their names with plants.
Soon it becomes apparent that seventeen-year-olds Dusty Miller and Nandina Bush may be next on the killer’s list.
From Bookbub: “In South Carolina, children swap stories of a monstrous urban legend to liven up a sleepy summer – not realizing a very real predator lurks nearby. When 17-year-old Dusty Miller is marked as a target, he’ll need to untangle kids’ tales from true dangers in the rich Southern mystery.”more
Good story overall but very slow in many places and a little bit difficult to keep reading.
enjoyed this
It’s an ok book
I enjoyed the story. It had a hint of mystery. An unexpected twist. And a love story.
It was an okay read, but somewhat predictable–like the author was trying too hard to connect the dots.
Okay book. Easy to read. Didn’t expect the ending.
I found the middle of the book really slow and hard to plow through. Found myself skipping through a lot of it. The end was good but not the best book I’ve read.
Had some twist I didn’t see coming
Interesting premise. Glad they pulled it off without getting too much off the main storyline
Not bad. Entertaining, but definitely for young adult readers.
didn’t care for this book
Interesting book with witty names of characters. The story comes with a surprise ending.
start off a little dull but later picks up to a good interesting book
i liked the insight you got from the narrator.
Story line was hard to follow
An original idea basing the murders on plant names. Kept me guessing right to the end.
Boring
I probably wont finish this book although I love the author’s writing style this story line about the name game and killer etc seems just too far fetched for me to get into. The characters are great though if I finish it at all ,it will be to study the character development.
Very predictable
Light reading; writing is unsophisticated like perhaps a first book. The story was interesting and entertaining.
