Waiting on Wednesday: Cryer's Cross


I'm still waiting...

Cover:



Description:

The community of Cryer’s Cross, Montana (population 212) is distraught when high school freshman Tiffany disappears without a trace. Already off-balance due to her OCD, 16-year-old Kendall is freaked out seeing Tiffany’s empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow life goes on... until Kendall's boyfriend Nico also disappears, and also without a trace. Now the town is in a panic. Alone in her depression and with her OCD at an all-time high, Kendall notices something that connects Nico and Tiffany: they both sat at the same desk. She knows it's crazy, but Kendall finds herself drawn to the desk, dreaming of Nico and wondering if maybe she, too, will disappear...and whether that would be so bad. Then she begins receiving graffiti messages on the desk from someone who can only be Nico. Can he possibly be alive somewhere? Where is he? And how can Kendall help him? The only person who believes her is Jacian, the new guy she finds irritating...and attractive. As Kendall and Jacian grow closer, Kendall digs deeper into Nico's mysterious disappearance only to stumble upon some ugly—and deadly—local history. Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.

What Drew me in?

I am a BIG fan of the Wake series. I love the way Lisa McMann writes so I figure it will be just as good. Besides the fact that she is an epic writer there is the description... are you kidding me? WOW! Then there is that creepy count down widget (you know which one I am talking about with the help me!). 

Cryer's Cross will be published by Simon Pulse on February 8th, 2011. 

just sayin,

  5. I was lucky enough to read and review this one... it's really well-written, but the horror fell just a little flat for me. Hope you enjoy it, though! :)

    And I'll need forget the time that countdown you spoke of scared. Me. To. Death. Beyond death, really. It was embarrassing, I ran out of the room and freaked everybody out with my rants that somebody was apparently imprisoned inside my computer monitor. But funny afterwards. :)
