Beware the Wild by Natalie C. Parker
It's an oppressively hot
and sticky morning in June when Sterling and her brother, Phin, have an
argument that compels him to run into the town swamp -- the one that
strikes fear in all the residents of Sticks, Louisiana. Phin doesn't
return. Instead, a girl named Lenora May climbs out, and now Sterling is
the only person in Sticks who remembers her brother ever existed.
Sterling
needs to figure out what the swamp's done with her beloved brother and
how Lenora May is connected to his disappearance -- and loner boy Heath
Durham might be the only one who can help her.
This debut novel is full of atmosphere, twists and turns, and a swoon-worthy romance. - Summary from Goodreads
I read a review that said this was a southern version of a faery changling story. Usually changlings are switched with young children, it'll be interesting to see this take on the legend. I always love stories about creepy faeries so I'm really looking forward to this. Plus, it involves siblings which adds to its appeal. I think this sounds like a really awesome and really dark read.
