Description from Goodreads:
Debut author Dawn Kurtagich is dead on in this terrifying psychological thriller!
Over two decades have passed since the fire at Elmbridge High, an inferno that took the lives of three teenagers. Not much was known about the events leading up to the tragedy - only that one student, Carly Johnson, vanished without a trace...
...until a diary is found hidden in the ruins.
But the diary, badly scorched, does not belong to Carly Johnson. It belongs to Kaitlyn Johnson, a girl who shouldn't exist, Who was Kaitlyn? Why did she come out only at night? What is her connection to Carly?
The case has been reopened. Police records are being reexamined: psychiatric reports, video footage, text messages, e-mails. And the diary.
The diary that paints a much more sinister version of events than was ever made publicly known.

Why I'm excited:
This sounds really creepy and cool and I'm very intrigued by this mystery. I'm also curious about how the story is going to be told. Plus, I need to know who this girl is!
This psychological thriller seems like a perfect book to read for the Fall. I also love discovering new authors, so I'm looking forward to this debut.
What are you waiting to read?

Yeah, this one has got me curious too. And that cover, it's darkly intense.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Michelle.
I rarely read creepy books but I think I'l make an exception to this one! :D

The story certainly sounds interesting. I don't read many from the 'thrillers' genre as a lot of them end up being too slow paced for me. I'll be interested to see what you think of this one when you grab it.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is pretty, but a scary book is not one that I can read. They really scare me. Have fun reading it though!
