Shadowlands by Kate BrianExpected Publication Date: January 8th, 2013
Publisher: Hyperion Books for Children
Page Count: 336 pages
Rory Miller had one chance to fight back and she took it. Rory survived… and the serial killer who attacked her escaped. Now that the infamous Steven Nell is on the loose, Rory must enter the witness protection with her father and sister, Darcy, leaving their friends and family without so much as a goodbye.Why I Can't Wait: Soooooo I'm a big fan of mysterious books that involve murder and deception and all that good stuff. I'm pretty sure Brian will produce some awesomeness with this one. What do you think?
Starting over in a new town with only each other is unimaginable for Rory and Darcy. They were inseparable as children, but now they can barely stand each other. As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they’re starting to feel safe again, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it a coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?
Can't wait to read this one. I just love the cover!
ReplyDeleteI love murder mystery type books! They always suck me right in. This one sounds like it will be awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteMy W.O.W.
I'm so excited for this book! Kate Brian is excellent at writing suspense and mystery in her stories. Her books are always surprising :)

Check out my WoW.
I absolutely adore this cover!! Plus, I'm always up for a good murder story!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
Yeah, I agree, it sounds so good, I'll add it on my list :)
ReplyDeleteI added this one a couple of weeks ago when I saw it on someone else's WoW. I don't know how I missed it before that because it sounds full of awesome. I love stories about sisters (me and my sis weren't close growing up but we are now, which is the opposite of this story, so I'm interested to see how that plays out) and serial killers fascinate me in a weird sort of way. Great pick! Thanks for sharing & for stopping by my WoW post. Happy Wednesday! :D
ReplyDeleteYes! I can’t wait to read this either! I had it as my WoW a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteHere is My WOW

YES! I've been seeing this one on a lot of WoW's these past few weeks and I can't wait to get my hands on it either. I am a big fan of mystery and deception as well. It's such a tease that it's on NG with no blogger requests *humph* Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover on this and I want to read it so badly! I hate that Disney-Hyperion don't accept book bloggers for their digital galleys because putting this on NG is such a tease! Wonderful pick this week, Anna!
