A killer is on the loose, and only one girl has the power to find him. But in this genre-bending YA thriller, she must first manage to avoid becoming a target herself.
For Adele, the dead aren’t really dead. She can see them and even talk to them. But she’s spent years denying her gift. When she encounters her ex-best friend Tori in a shallow grave in the woods and realizes that Tori is actually dead -- that gift turns into a curse. Without an alibi, Adele becomes the prime suspect in Tori’s murder. She must work with Tori’s ghost to find the real killer. But what if the killer finds Adele first?
In The Lonely Dead, master mystery writer April Henry adds a chilling paranormal twist to this incredibly suspenseful young adult novel.

Why it's my Can't Wait Wednesday:
First off, I have read a few of April Henry's mysteries and they are great. So this one is another that I want to read as I know the writing will be fabulous and will drag me into this mystery. I should put her on my auto-buy list.
What is your CWW?
The book cover looks like a modern thriller cover but the blurb doesn't seem to match that which is a little puzzling! It sounds like one of those fantasy court things. Hope you'll enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI was half sleeping and had the wrong blurb, I fixed it. Sorry about that. Oh, it's starting to be one of those days already. =)
DeleteI haven't heard of this author before, but this sounds like an intriguing mystery!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure this one is for me, but I do hope that you enjoy it! Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteOoh I recognize April Henry- there was another book by her I wanted to read and I never did. She was one of the authors I wanted to try that I just haven't gotten to yet *sigh*. This one sounds great, and I love the sound of a paranormal twist.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it's going to be a suspenseful read. I'll definitely be adding it to my TBR. Great pick!
