Review: Wish you were dead by Todd Strasser

Str-S-d:

I’ll begin with Lucy. She is definitely first on the list. You can’t believe how it feels to be in the cafeteria and turn around and there she is staring at me like I’m some disgusting bug or vermin. Does she really think I WANT to be this way? I hate you, Lucy. I really hate you. You are my #1 pick. I wish you were dead.

The day after anonymous blogger Str-S-d wishes the popular girl would die, Lucy vanishes. The students of Soundview High are scared and worried. Especially frightened and wracked with guilt is Madison Archer, Lucy’s friend and the last person to see her the night she disappeared.


As days pass with no sign of the missing girl, even the attention of Tyler, an attractive new student, is not enough to distract Madison from her growing sense of foreboding. When two more popular students disappear after their names are mentioned on Str-S-d’s blog, the residents of Soundview panic.


Meanwhile, Madison receives anonymous notes warning that she could be next. Desperate to solve the mystery before anyone else disappears, Madison turns to Tyler, but can she trust him when it becomes clear that he knows more than he’s sharing?


I love this book! There is alot of unexpected twists but you can still follow it easily.


Todd Strasser is steadily becoming one of my favourite writers simply for the fact that he can write amazing books that keep me thinking about it for ages after I finished reading it!

 I read another book by Strasser called 'Blood on my Hands' and I loved it so I had high expectations for this book! It did deliver but it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be but it was still good.

The story is told through the eyes of Madison, a popular nice girl, who is wrecked by feelings of guilt. She was the last person to see Lucy before she disappeared and she won't let herself forget it. 

Strasser has a very intriguing writing style that keeps you captivated. I found myself getting tingles up my spine and my hair standing up..during the day! You know a book is good when you get creeped out during the day! 

There was one HUGE shock for me in the book that I was so NOT expecting! I really loved the twist in it!

If you haven't read a book by Todd Stasser you don't know what you are missing!

Waiting On Wednesday (2)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to share the books that you are highly anticipating! 


This week I am waiting on is Rapture by Lauren Kate! I love this series and can't wait to see how it ends! 

From Goodreads:
The sky is dark with wings . . . .

Like sand in an hourglass, time is running out for Luce and Daniel. To stop Lucifer from erasing the past they must find the place where the angels fell to earth. Dark forces are after them, and Daniel doesn’t know if he can do this—live only to lose Luce again and again.
Yet together they will face an epic battle that will end with lifeless bodies . . . and angel dust. Great sacrifices are made. Hearts are destroyed. And suddenly Luce knows what must happen.
For she was meant to be with someone other than Daniel. The curse they’ve borne has always and only been about her—and the love she cast aside. The choice she makes now will be the only one that truly matters.
In the fight for Luce, who will win?

Cover: The Evolution of Mara Dyer

So yesterday the cover for the second book in the Mara Dyer series was released! *squeels* I sorta loved the first book so I am beyond excited that the cover for the second book has been released. The book keeps with the theme of the  first one, it looks so cool!


What do you think of the new cover?


From Goodreads:
Two days after Mara walks into a police station in Miami at the close of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, she is committed for psychiatric treatment for what her parents believe is a mental breakdown. But what seems like a hallucination to everyone else is a chilling reality for Mara. Someone from her past has discovered her strange, disturbing secret and that someone wants her to pay. But she's about to discover that the price is more than she can bear.

Dark and
 thrilling, suspenseful and passionate, The Evolution of Mara Dyer will have readers breathlessly turning pages to find out what will become of Mara Dyer next.



EEP!!

Teaser Tuesday (1)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at Should Be Reading where you grab a book, open at two random pages and share something that isn't going to ruin the book! My book this week is Cinder!

''You would withhold this? When so many are dying?'' It was a stupid question. Page 212


The precarious fantasy crashed down around her as quickly as it had begun. It was impossible. Not worth thinking about. Page 33




My review of Cinder will be coming any day now! Be ready! :)
