Everyone says things are different in Minera springs. From the outside, it looks like an average little Texas town. But it has dark secrets.
In 1982, Tobi Sloan is sent to live with her grandparents while her mama tries to get clean. Things on the farm aren't so bad, though. That is, until Tobi meets a boy named Riley, who shares scary tales about their quiet little town.
He tells her of the Union Hill Bride, who murdered her husband and still wanders the countryside. And there's the creature who lives beneath the bridge, feeding on passersby.
When several girls around the county go missing, their tall tales don't seem so far-fetched anymore. Which ones are true, though? Tobi doesn't believe in nonsense like monsters and evil spirits.
But, as her mama once told her, we all have our ghosts.
