Running hard... Running...Running ...she has to get away. She
knows the warning made by her father is true. He has
never failed in his predictions, and she must save her
brother; yet, why does she yearn so much for Jack, her
childhood sweetheart, when he means death for her?
Avery Broussard hadn't told anyone she is coming back to
her childhood home in the small town of Saint Michael's
in southern Louisiana. She
knows that people won't like it and especially Latham,
her beloved brother. He is sick and she wants to care
for him, but he is more afraid of what will happen to
her.
Already well-known for her dark southern gothic novels,
USA Today best-selling author T.M (Toni
McGee) Causey has
created a rare and complex story that is both authentic
in its description of the south and its characters'
reactions and attitudes. THE SAINTS OF THE LOST AND FOUND is
darkly rooted with strange
and paranormal twists that are so real they seem to be
just a normal part of the lush undergrowths that pull and
trip the unwary.
With its snappy dialogue, fast pace and strong storyline,
Causey has crafted a captivating and suspenseful
thriller in THE SAINTS OF THE LOST AND FOUND, filled with
underlying themes of revenge,
greed, lost love and a serial killer bent on destroying
the lives of pretty little girls. Causey's
wonderful skills as a storyteller allow all the characters to
ring true to themselves and to the complexities of their
interactions with each other.
The main character, Avery Broussard, is very likeable
in both action and thought. She is still very raw in
her emotions from past hurts and her amazing ability to
sense losses that happen to other people, be it lost
shoes, rings, love or death. The impact of this ability
is starkly highlighted both in the good and the bad not
only in the current plot development as well as in the
backstories, especially with those concerning Avery's
childhood and her work with the FBI in tracking down a serial
killer.
I found THE SAINTS OF THE LOST AND FOUND to be a
brilliantly executed novel that is truly reflective of
its awesome cover that looks so innocent at first glance,
but filled with dark and strange undertones which make it
known this is no ordinary mystery. Grab a Coke and
find out why..... Do not miss out on THE SAINTS OF THE LOST
AND FOUND!
Avery Broussard has the curse of seeing lost things (and
make no mistake about it, it is a curse). Missing belongings
and beloved pets, lost love and loved ones—she sees it all.
Long ago, that curse destroyed her own chance at true love,
causing her to flee her Louisiana home, vowing never to
return. She’s kept that promise too, until a phone call from
her estranged grifter father forces her hand. Her big
brother is dying, and she may be his last remaining hope.
Avery wants nothing more than to rescue her brother, but
doing so pulls her into a labyrinth of lies and deceit
rooted in her own lost love and her family’s twisted
history. It doesn’t help that a little girl has gone
missing, and the abduction is tied to a killer Avery failed
to help the FBI catch. With no time to spare, Avery realizes
her curse might well be the only thing she can trust. Is it
too much to hope that she might save her brother and find
the missing girl before she becomes the killer’s next victim?
