Wow, that was some awesomesauce story telling. Megan White is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA Authors, she is seriously talented at bringing it with unique stories. Loved it!When 17 year old Liz's Dad retires from the military, he decides to move back home with his mom in Louisiana. Liz isn't taking the move well, she's used to the transient life of the military and has no desire to go back to the house that her mother abandoned her and father in. With her 18th birthday quickly approaching, she tries to paste a fake smile on, grit her teeth and reign in her sarcasm to make her Grams and Dad happy, with the countdown to adulthood and college being her ultimate ticket out.On her first day of school she meets some odd people who also seem to know more about her Grams than she does. She also meets the ever mysterious and intriguing, Dylan. A senior that lives fairly close to her Grams house and a boy that seems to know things, things about her, things about the past, things about her family. As secrets come out and a frightening threat seeped in Voodoo lands on the doors of Liz and Dylan, things get creepy, mysterious, and addictive.Told entirely from the point of view of Liz, I loved this girl. She's funny, strong, and independent. I loved how she dealt with everything that was being thrown at her. If it had been me and I was finding out the sort of stuff she finds out, I would be freaking the frack out. It would not be pretty. But not Liz, yeah she has moments where she freaks a bit and really her decisions and who she places her trust in is pretty jacked but she's a teenager, dealing with a lot of creepy odd things.Then there's Dylan. Dylan, hmmmm....I don't know. Something about him. If you've read the book or read the book you'll know what my hmmmm is about. He's interesting and while I found him intriguing, I never really fell into feelings for him. *shrug* He's okay, maybe he'll grow on me or maybe Liz will get a love interest that is much more worthy of her, either way I can't wait to read what happens.Parrish Secrets is unique, it's creepy, it's freaking awesomesauce. I really loved it and need to read the next book as soon as freaking possible. I have a feeling this is going to be a series that I am going to be obsessing over. Kudos to Megan White for bringing elements to this storyline that I haven't seen done very often. Awesomeness, pure awesomeness. Go read it!I received a copy of this story from the Author in exchange for an honest review.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books
