Zara White suspects a freaky guy is semi-stalking her. She memorizes phobias and chants them when she's nervous. And, okay, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But moving to a shivery Maine town to stay with her grandmother is supposed to be the perfect fix- so her mom says. Except, this new plan os getting away to help Zara stay sane? Yeah, not working. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a fragment of Zara's imagination. He's still fallowing her, leaving behind an eire trail of gold dust. There's something not right- not human- in this sleepy, Main town, and all the signs are pointing to Zara.
 
Carrie Jones out did herself with this one. Yes, it does have fictional characters like pixies and werewolves, but it is nothing like Twilight!

 Zara is a strong wielded teen who chants phobias. You'll love her character. She's determined, and a little bit fire-y.  And you will be rooting for her the whole book! Nick is the all American boy! You won't be able to quite thinking about him.

You will be shocked by the outcome! That's all I'm going to say. :)

I love the cover! The gold glitter lips are PERFECT! And the trees at the bottom give it a spooky feel.

  1. I actually just read the first page and wanted to keep going! Although I promised to finish the two books I'm reading before I start another one, it was so hard! I know I JUST said I'd read Hush, Hush next but I may have to read this too.

Recent Reviews


Revealing Eden by Victoria Foyt




When I read Dystopian books, I either love them or hate them. Most of the time I just can not connect with the characters, and sometimes it's the setting. But with Revealing Eden I was completely captivated with the world Victoria created.

Steel by Carrie Vaughn




Time travel and pirates. These are two words that I love to hear! I have always love time travel, and pirates have always interested me. So finding this book was like finding a buried treasure! ( why yes, that was super cheesy, but I couldn't resist!) In fact a book I am writing now has to do with time travel. :D hehe!

The Queen of Kentucky by Alecia Witaker




The Queen of Kentucky is a book that I, as a Kentucky native myself, could relate to. Being able to relate to the characters and the surroundings really made me enjoy this book. The Queen of Kentucky is one of those books that has such a great message.

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi




As soon as I got this book I tore into it! I could not wait to read it! And once I started Under the Never Sky it never let my hand. :) This is by far one of my favorite dystopian novels that I have read this year! Veronica really surprised me with her debut! Think of Under the Never Sky as awesome as Angelfire, and if you know me at all then you know that this novel blew my socks off! it!
