When legends bite back.

Lemon Ziegler wants to escape rural Devil’s Elbow, Pennsylvania to attend college―but that’s impossible now that she’s expected to impersonate the town’s lake monster for the rest of her life. Her family has been secretly keeping the tradition of Old Lucy, the famed (and very fake) monster of Lake Lokakoma, alive for generations, all to keep the tourists coming. Without Lemon, the town dies, and she can’t disappoint her grandparents . . . or tell her best friends about any of it. That includes Troy Ramirez, who has been covertly in love with Lemon for years, afraid to ruin their friendship by confessing his feelings. When a very real, and very hungry monster is discovered in the lake, secrets must fall by the wayside. Determined to stop the monster, Lemon and her best friends are the only thing standing between Devil’s Elbow and the monster out for blood.

For readers who enjoy Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis, House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland, Dark and Shallow Lies by Ginny Myers Sain, and The Lake House by Sarah Beth Durst.

 

 

MY REVIEW:

This was a fun read about Nessie. I love the folklore behind the Loch Ness Monster, and live in the northeast near Lake Champlain where Champ is! I really enjoyed Lemon and her family. They were likable and also like most grandparents. The fact that Lemon's family has been keeping the legend alive is fun to watch. How she does it is even better. I enjoyed that as the book went on you got to see into the towns dynamic and how the legend has been kept. I liked Lemon's friends and how they were a great sleuthing team. Characters died, and Lemon was tested. Who and where the monster is from was a surprise that I did not see coming. It was believable and interesting to think about. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy, however all opinoins are my own.
