A year ago Hurricane Josephine swept through Savannah, Georgia, leaving behind nothing but death and destruction — and taking the life of Dovey's best friend, Carly. Since that night, Dovey has been in a medicated haze, numb to everything around her.
But recently she's started to believe she's seeing things that can't be real... including Carly at their favorite café. Determined to learn the truth, Dovey stops taking her pills. And the world that opens up to her is unlike anything she could have imagined.
As Dovey slips deeper into the shadowy corners of Savannah — where the dark and horrifying secrets lurk — she learns that the storm that destroyed her city and stole her friend was much more than a force of nature. And now the sinister beings truly responsible are out to finish what they started.
Dovey's running out of time and torn between two paths. Will she trust her childhood friend Baker, who can't see the threatening darkness but promises to never give up on Dovey and Carly? Or will she plot with the sexy stranger, Isaac, who offers all the answers — for a price? Soon Dovey realizes that the danger closing in has little to do with Carly... and everything to do with Dovey herself.
My Review:
I had a great time with this book! It was dark and atmospheric and I had a great time reading it! The idea of demons living in the devastation of storms, in that negative energy until they had the power to basically bring about those storms was pretty fascinating!
The whole thing with the distal bones as well, that was interesting and so infuriating! It was an awful situation to be in, and I just wanted her to get out! But oh, was it an entertaining read watching it all go down, I just had to know more!
This world, and what was hiding in the storm was so compelling! It was dark and twisted, and watching Dovey enter further and further, the tension just kept rising. Because we can't fully trust Dovey because she's coming off antipsychotics just worked perfectly with everything going on!
That ending, though? Oh, that ending hit hard! After this whole time where she's learned that she's not crazy, the dark side of this world is hiding, and for things to end that way? Oh, that was just evil! I feel so badly for Dovey!

This was a really dark and creepy read, and I had a great time reading it!
