"The Dane family's roots tangle deep in the Ozark Mountain town of Henbane, but that doesn't keep sixteen-year-old Lucy Dane from being treated like an outsider. Folks still whisper about her mother, a bewitching young stranger who inspired local myths when she vanished years ago. When one of Lucy's few friends, slow-minded Cheri, is found murdered, Lucy feels haunted by the two lost girls--the mother she never knew and the friend she couldn't protect. Everything changes when Lucy stumbles across Cheri's necklace in an abandoned trailer and finds herself drawn into a search for answers. What Lucy discovers makes it impossible to ignore the suspicion cast on her own kin. More alarming, she suspects Cheri's death could be linked to her mother's disappearance, and the connection between the two puts Lucy at risk of losing everything. In a place where the bonds of blood weigh heavy, Lucy must decide where her allegiances lie"-- Provided by publisher.

Chilling submitted by LibraryMaven on July 31, 2014, 9:33pm The Weight of Blood is absolutely chilling, and had me trapped from the first few pages. Somehow, the multiple points of view don't ruin the mystery and I was pulled forward to see how the book ended. Recommended for those who like dark family secrets.

mezmerizing submitted by Judeyblu on July 24, 2015, 6:58am Keeping just on the edge of real, this moody, dark, and heartbreaking mystery was the perfect companion on warm muggy nights.
