Lies on the Serpent's Tongue

In this haunting companion novel to As Caball Hollow slowly recovers from a tumultuous summer, the James family must also come to terms with their own newly revealed secrets. ;;;;;;;;18-year-old Rowan James has spent her whole life harboring unpleasant truths--that’s what happens when you can smell lies on the teller’s breath--and building walls around herself to block them out. Like her younger sister, Linden, who can taste the feelings of others, Rowan has long struggled with her gift, which has taught her that everyone distorts the truth, and no one is who they seem to be. So when her old rival Hadrian Fitch shows up on her front porch--bloodied and bruised and asking for the kind of help only she can provide--her first instinct is distrust. ;;;;;;;;Except Hadrian’s attack isn’t the only strange occurrence. Now small items are disappearing, but rather than report the losses the owners act as if their missing things never existed. Rumors of a new monster prowling the Hollow begin to swirl. But how can Rowan smoke out the culprit in a town full of secrets? And worse, how can Rowan trust beautiful, solemn Hadrian when every other word he speaks has the distinct burnt smell of a lie?
