Cryer's Cross

The tiny town of Cryer's Cross is shocked when local schoolgirl Tiffany disappears without a trace. Already off-balance due to her OCD, sixteen-year-old Kendall is freaked out by seeing Tiffany's empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow life goes on... until Kendall's boyfriend Nico also disappears.

Alone in her depression and with her OCD at an all-time high, Kendall notices something that connects Nico and Tiffany. She knows it's crazy, but Kendall finds herself drawn to the desk that both Nico and Tiffany sat at... Then she begins receiving messages from someone who can only be Nico. Can he possibly be alive somewhere? And how can Kendall help him? The only person who believes her is Jacian, the new guy she finds irritating...and attractive. As Kendall and Jacian grow closer, Kendall digs deeper into Nico's mysterious disappearance only to stumble upon some ugly - and deadly - local history.

Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried...

"A brilliant, engaging, scary piece of fiction. Every word had me sliding closer to the edge of my seat and gripping the cover tighter and tighter. There are books in the world that make you question your reality and the things that go bump in the night--this is one of them."
