Welcome to Summervale…
One of the USA's top vacation spots. It's a sunny coastal town. Population…
Oh, who cares.
The tourism ads paint Summervale as the perfect, picturesque town. It's the ideal location to have spring break in, or retire at.
But I know the truth.

17 year old Darcie Ryder thought life would be different on the other side of the tracks. In this town, you are judged on by what side of the river you live on.
She was born a 'have not', but due to her father's new social status and job, she moves into the rich neighbourhood called The Circle, and becomes a 'have'.
In the Circle, she is introduced to the other kids at the town's annual back to school bonfire on the beach.
Here she meets the handsome, and totally out her league, Dane O'Connell.
Even though they are from the opposite sides of the river, they share a connection they both can't deny.
But when the body of a teenage girl turns up dead on the shore, the mystery to her death will either bring the teens closer together…
or tear them further apart.

In the first instalment of a new YA contemporary mystery series from L.L. Hunter, there are secrets a plenty in Summervale, but only some will surface.
The rest will be taken to the grave.
