Sylvie Davis is a ballerina who canât dance. A broken leg ended her career, but Sylvieâs pain runs deeper. What broke her heart was her fatherâs death, and whatâs breaking her spirit is her motherâs remarriageâa union thatâs only driven an even deeper wedge into their already tenuous relationship.
Uprooting her from her Manhattan apartment and shipping her to Alabama is her motherâ s solution for Sylvieâs unhappiness. Her fatherâs cousin is restoring a family home in a town rich with her familyâs history. And thatâs where things start to get shady. As it turns out, her family has a lot more history than Sylvie ever knew. More unnerving, though, are the two guys that she canât stop thinking about. Shawn Maddox, the resident golden boy, seems to be perfect in every way. But Rhysâa handsome, mysterious foreign guest of her cousinâsâhas a hold on her that she doesnât quite understand.
Then she starts seeing things. Sylvieâs lost nearly everythingâis she starting to lose her mind as well?
"Lush with Southern atmosphere, The Splendor Falls expertly weaves together romance, tension, and mystery. Haunting and unforgettable!" âCarrie Ryan, bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth
"Sylvie's voice is sharp and articulate, and Clement-Moore . . . anchors the story in actual locations and history. . . . Her ear for both adolescent bitchery and sweetness remains sure, and her ability to write realistic, edgy dialogue without relying on obscenity or stereotype is a pleasure."-Publishers Weekly
"Long, satisfying and just chilling enough, this will please a wide audience and leave readers hoping for more."-Kirkus Reviews
