So uh… let's say you see a book with this blurb on the shelf, do you think you'd end up reading it? Also sorry for the terrible markup cwl

We all have stories that we don't want to be heard. But for how long can they remain in the dark?

Secrets. Everyone has them. The comfortable kinds, the not-so-comfortable kinds, the kinds that would be absolute murder if someone found out.

The people of small-town Highland Lakes are no different. But in a place where everyone knows everyone, they're just better at hiding them.

….Right?

When her best friend, Matthew Owens is found dead in the lake, Maiyah Collins is determined to find his killer. However, her meddling will soon be found out, and the killer continues to lurk among them. Can she expose the culprit before it's too late, or will they be allowed to strike once again?

This sounds exactly like what one would see on the back of a published book.
Make of that what you will.

@"The Althalosian" Thank you for your input! :)

This is so good! I agree with The Althalosian, it sounds like something you'd find on a book in the bookstore.
