Synopsis

To save the innocent, they must face an insidious evil.

Wren Blythe has long enjoyed living in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, helping her father with ministry at a youth camp. But when a little girl in the area goes missing, an all-out search ensues, reviving the decades-old campfire story of Ava
Coons, the murderess who is believed to still roam the forest. Joining the search, Wren stumbles upon the Coonses’ cabin ruins and a sinister mystery she is determined to unearth.

In 1930, Ava Coons has spent the last several years carrying the mantle of mystery since the day she emerged from the woods as a thirteen-year-old girl, spattered with blood, dragging a logger’s ax. She has accepted she will never remember
what happened to her family, whose bodies were never found, and that the people of Tempter’s Creek will always blame her for their violent deaths. And after a member of the town is murdered, and another goes missing, rumors
spread that Ava’s secret is perhaps more malicious than previously imagined.

Two women, separated by time, must confront a wickedness that not only challenges who they are but also threatens their lives, and the lives of those they love.

4.75 ⭐️ Both haunting and heartfelt, The Souls of Last Lake is a must-read. The story is split between two timelines, one present-day and one set in the 1930s. The narrative for the present-day timeline is through Wren Blythe, who switches her focus from working with youth ministry to search-and-res......more

Does this publish in April? Yes! Did I wait to read it? NO WAY! Oh my!!!!!!! You've read Jamie Jo Wright books before but absolutely nothing like this! This is a book taking place in the 1930's and in modern times and how they relate to each other is slowly revealed to us. The author has simply toppe......more

Goodreads review by Lucy

Wow, wow, wow! Totally gobsmacked! I could not figure out either of the split time stories and I’m usually very good at it. This is absolutely hands down the best book I have read so far this year. You will not want to put this down once you start as it is fascinating, creepy, inspiring, and pulls o......more
