One dead, one missing, and one who was never there.

In a sleepy town in South Carolina, nineteen year old Addy Marks has spent the past two years coming to grips with the mysterious death of her friend Beau and the disappearance of her boyfriend Mason. After the annual Dogwood festival, three boys were seen heading toward a local silo. When morning arrived, Beau’s body was discovered, Mason was missing, and Hunter, the best friend of the two boys, claims he wasn’t at the silo.

Two years later everything is turned upside down when Mason unexpectedly returns to town, but before Addy can meet with him he is found murdered. Coping with her best friend’s lies, uncovering the last standing Silo Boy’s sealed alibi, and protecting her friends from harm, Addy must figure out what happened that night at the silo before anyone else loses their life. As she exposes the tragic mystery, she realizes that everyone holds tightly to their secrets and misdeeds.

My Review of Silo Boys:

Silo Boys is one of those tales that is so unbelievable that it sucks you in from the first sentence. Amy-Brooke Odell has written a story that not only had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation through the whole book, but is primarily the story of love, loss, and tragedy.

From the first moment, you knew that this was going to be a stunning book. It starts out with a panic attack and ends with closure.

I thought, for sure, that I had this mystery all figured out from the first chapter, but alas, I was wrong, yet again.

This book must be about my hometown in Indiana, but instead it takes place in North Carolina. I can picture the same silo on the same abandoned farm with the same old boulder out front. The scenery is all the same, and the characters are teenagers with secrets, lies, and wild emotions. The emotion portrayed tells the truth, none of it seemed fake or forced.

While I was wrong about my guess as to who the murderer was, I should say that the actual culprit was a bit far-fetched. I had a hard time believing that this person could have done it due to the way the previous parts of the story were written. However, the mystery is plausible, even if it didn’t fit just right for me.

With that, I award Silo Boys a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The book entertained me, and it was a quick read. I recommend this novel to any of the mystery lovers out there.
