loved this story. Avery is a smart tough woman who's been through hell and survived, It's a great story about love, loss, family and friendship, Highly recommended!! sitelink Avery Broussard finds lost things, Hers is a terrible and beautiful gift, when it works right, Returning to the bayous of her youth, after running away years before, she's desperate to save her brother, A missing child, people and conflicts from her past, a lost love all lead to a crashing crescendo of a climax, This is a book that everyone should read, It is beautiful and heartbreaking, It has nailbiting tension and sly smiles, It has haunted me since reading it, It is the book Toni was meant to write, And I loved every word of it,

I own this book in hardback, in digital, and if it ever comes out in audio, I'll own that too, This is a book that belongs on the keeper shelf, It is a book to be read from beginning to end, pages turning like autumn leaves in a hard wind, yet it is also a book to be sipped and savored, each word and sentence a delight to the mind.
I couldn't review it when I first finished, I wanted to let the words settle in my soul first, Now, I want to give itstars, A. All the in the sky, It's that good. Such great storytelling! This is a complicated story, It has a taste of magical realism to it, but with a more serious tone, The tale is heartbreaking and soulsoaring, The characters will stay with you, even haunt you, long after the last page, This is definitely a book you have to pay attention to, there are threads throughout that all become important in the end, If you are looking for a change from the typical storylines this book is definitely for you, I loved this! Avery can see lost things emanating off of people keys, phones, deaths and this power was taken advantage of by her grifter parents when she was young.
Her older brother can see dead people really! For a time she was used by the FBI to help locate a serial killer who was murdering young girls.
When she failed to help the last murder victim, she decides to quit and return to her hometown where the love of her life lives,
Lots of intertwining stories made this fascinating for me, My only complaint: the print was way to small!! This novel got a great review from Romance Times so I was apprehensive I'm not keen on romance novels.
Turns out that SAINTS isnt a romance though it does have a bittersweet love story, Its so much more. The suspense is juicy and never lets up, The characters are strong and proactive yet vulnerable enough to be relatable, The story plots are unexpected and well played, I don't want to spoil things for future readers so I won't comment on plot but Causey does a few things exceptionally well and those need to be mentioned and studied by any writer who wants to improve their craft.


First, her use of backstory to advance plot is masterful, In many novels, backstory weighs the story down by explaining or justifying the character's actions yet doesn't impact the forward thrust of the story, In SAINTS, Causey uses backstory to determine the protagonist's next course of action, The backstory IS part of the present, And yes, we're dealing with paranormal elements but they have real world consequences and meaning, They add to the story rather than merely fatten it,

Second, Causey does an excellent job of creating the rich texture of the Louisiana setting as an intricate part of the story, You feel a part of that environment without the writing calling attention to itself, Her descriptions illuminate characters' relationships and lifestyles, imbuing the unique feel of the Cajun world into the readers psyche,

I enjoyed this novel from beginning to end, I was surprised this novel veered from Causey's previous lighthearted style but if you want a paranormal thriller, you won't be disappointed,
One of the things I love about Toni McGee Causeys writing is that she gets you into the mind of the protagonist so deeply that you get to live the story through their eyes.
Not only does that make for compelling and suspenseful storytelling, but it also reveals the fears and insecurities that make her characters so very human, Whether I am experiencing the outrageous hijinks of Bobbie Faye or the paranormal gifts of Avery Broussard, what resonates with me are the very real stories of family, love, loss and hope.
At the core of this story are a brother and sister plagued by gifts they didnt ask for and damaged by a history of family deceit and deception.
As dark and difficult as their journey is, their strength in protecting each other and their community is what keeps us rooting for them,

The first time through Averys story was an I cant put this book down race to the end, The plot was twisty and unexpected and I couldnt wait to see how it would resolve, The next time I read it Ill be able to slow down and savor the vivid descriptions and rich characterizations, Its Averys curse to see the loss, sadness and longing that all of the characters carry with them wherever they go, Seeing those images through her eyes brings depth

to the characters and makes this story complex and satisfying, Go get yourself a copy of The Saints of the Lost and Found as soon as you can, You wont be disappointed. Its fantastic! Avery Broussard has the curse of seeing lost things and make no mistake about it, it is a curse, Missing belongings and beloved pets, lost love and loved onesshe sees it all, Long ago, that curse destroyed her own chance at true love, causing her to flee her Louisiana home, vowing never to return, She's kept that promise too, until a phone call from her estranged father forces her hand, Her big brother is dying, and she may be his last remaining hope,

Avery wants nothing more than to rescue her brother, but doing so pulls her into a labyrinth of lies and deceit rooted in her own lost love and her family's twisted history.
It doesn't help that a little girl has gone missing, and the abduction is tied to a killer Avery failed to help the FBI catch, With no time to spare, Avery realizes her curse might well be the only thing she can trust, Is it too much to hope that she might save her brother and find the missing girl before she becomes the killer's next victim I have just finished this book and all I can say is WOW what a great read ,I was a fan of her Bobby Fay series and didn't know what to expect but I was hooked by thend chapter.
I can n t wait to read more by her ,she makes you emotionally invested in her characters, Thank you Toni for a great book I recommend that this be on everyone's must read list, this year. Toni McGee Causey is wellknown for her Bobby Faye books, Lighthearted screwball comedy. Her new book is drastically different in tone and style, Though there are moments of black humor, this novel takes her work in an entirely different direction, Saints is a dark thriller with paranormal overtones, In short, if you are looking for more Bobby Faye you will not find her here, What you will find is a masterfully crafted novel with divergent timelines that all manage to coalesce in the end, Avery Broussard finds lost things, In this case that is the remnants of her childhood and a very current serial killer, I loved this book from start to finish, I wanted Avery to succeed in putting her life back on track and end the destructive reign of the Little Princess Killer, My heart broke along with hers as she battled the evil strangling her and her family, This is definitely a book you have to pay attention to, there are threads throughout that all become important in the end, If you are looking for a change from the typical storylines this book is definitely for you,
