Release Day Blitz::: Every Pane of Glass by HB Stumbo
Several miles south of Devil’s Lake, Michigan, lies a town whose charm is trumped by its name. Devil Town may be beautiful and unique, but it offers no remorse for locals who have left the city limits. Val Stevens is a local born and raised, and after an eight year hiatus, she’s come back to town to stir up some old flames. Cracked like glass from life’s quirky twists of fate, Val keeps to herself and wards off the local “Devilers”, like a bad disease. But even someone as fiery as Val, can’t deny the appeal of a friendship with an intriguing stranger, or the ghosts of her past.
With the help of Anderson Pane, Devil Town’s newest resident, Val unearths pieces of herself she has lost along the way, while chipping away at the edges of those who caused her to shatter. She quickly learns that in order to face her future, she needs to forget everything she thought she knew about her past. A task which proves to be equal parts shocking and healing.
Can Val walk among the shards of who she was in order to find out she is? In a place where secrets run deeper than the depth of Devil’s Lake itself, the answer bubbles to the surface, in a twisted turn of events, history, love, and even death.

It’s funny how after you have been gone from a place for so long, you forget things you once noticed daily. Those things don’t even become memories in the back of your mind. They just evaporate until you notice them again. Fragments of memories that become forgotten lore. You eventually notice them and say to yourself “oh, that’s right!” or “oh, I remember”, and you feel nostalgic until that feeling turns into a brief nod of sadness.
Devil Town felt that way to me now.
