Lies on the Serpent's Tongue by Kate Pearsall
mysterious
slow-paced
4.25
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 STARS
Genre: YA Magical Realism
If you like Wilder Girls & House of Hollow, you will enjoy this one. It is the sequel to Bittersweet in the Hollow but I think you would be ok reading it as a standalone because they explain a little about what happens in the first book.
It is very atmospheric, set in the mountains in an isolated town. Small items begin to disappear, memories vanish, and a neighbor is found dead. Poachers are suspected, but it seems that it could be other worldly.
The main female character has the ability to smell if someone is lying. She is reunited with a character from the first book to help solve the mystery. There is a dash of romance but it’s not the focus at all.
I actually liked it a little more than the first book and enjoyed the dark atmosphere of the book.
Thank you Penguin Teen for the ARC!
