Synopsis via Goodreads
Mallory's life is falling apart. Her boyfriend was stabbed. He bled to death in her kitchen. Mallory was the one who stabbed him. But she can't remember what happened that night. She only remembers the fear . . .
When Mallory's parents send her away to a boarding school, she thinks she can escape the gossip and the threats. But someone, or something, has followed her. There's the hand that touches her shoulder when she's drifting off to sleep. A voice whispering her name. And everyone knows what happened. So when a pupil is found dead, Mallory's name is on their lips. Her past can be forgotten but it's never gone. Can Mallory live with that?

I enjoyed Megan's debut, Fracture, pretty well so I'm looking forward to reading another book by her. And this one sounds very promising. As for the cover, not near as spectacular as the Fracture cover but I like it pretty well. My main issue is the font, particularly the title font. So what do you think? Sound good? Look good?
OMG was my first thought when reading the summary-this sounds pretty creepy and suspenseful. I think I like the title font; how would you change it?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I can't wait for this one either. I loved Fracture and can't wait to read more from her. Here’s my WoW post!

I loved Megan's first book so I'm really excited for this one! I agree about the cover though, it's very disappointing compared to the Fracture cover, which was BEAUTIFUL!
