Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book from Harper Teen via Netgalley, free of charge, for review purposes on this blog. No compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own
An engrossing mystery with a hint of the supernatural, perfect for fans of The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas and Bone Gap by Laura Ruby.
Synopsis:
Cat hasn’t been to Montgomery Falls, the town her family founded, since she was twelve years old. Since the summer she discovered she could do things that no normal twelve-year-old could do. Since she had her first kiss with Riley Fraser. Since she destroyed their friendship.
Now, five years later, she’s back and Riley has disappeared.
When Noah, Riley's brother, asks for help in discovering what happened, Cat is torn between wanting to learn the truth and protecting the secret that she’s been guarding ever since that summer she and Riley stopped speaking. Only one choice will put her in a killer’s sights…
Review:
This is one of those books aimed at YA readers, but that adults will love to read just as much, as it isn't truly aimed at certain reading ages! Cat is every kid who has felt abandoned by parents, who lacks family support and has had to face internet bullying to such a degree, her dad feels it is better to get her out of town for awhile. So off she goes to her aunt's in Canada. Only past family secrets, hidden family dysfunction and the lure of new freiendships, ultimately all lead her to a place worse than when she arrived. This is a book that grabs you and doesn't let you go, with all it's modern nuances, while nodding it's head to universal pangs of maturing. Add in 2 mysteries that seem intertwined and you start to have a roller coaster read that won't let you go! DONT miss this one! You'll want your teens to read it too!

About the Author:
I spent my teen years crushing on authors and writing short stories about vampires. This is also how I have spent a good slice of my adult years—although the vampires have been replaced by werewolves, angry girls, and ghosts.
Five things you might want to know:
-- I am Canadian
-- I am unlikely to survive the first few hours of the zombie apocalypse
-- I grew up on a steady diet of Stephen King, Doctor Who, and science fiction movies from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
-- I have a weakness for romantic comedies with abysmally low Rotten Tomatoes scores
-- I am occasionally a university student
