Here is my Teaser:
Synopsis per Goodreads:
When love leads to death, be careful who you trust…
Eighteen-year-old Emily Heath would love to leave her dead-end town, known locally as "The Sham", with her boyfriend, Jack, but he's very, very sick; his body is failing and his brain is shutting down. He's also in hiding, under suspicion of murder. Six months' ago, strange signs were painted across town in a dialect no one has spoken for decades and one of Emily's classmates washed up in the local floods.
Emily has never trusted her instincts and now they're pulling her towards Jack, who the police think is a sham himself, someone else entirely. As the town wakes to discover new signs plastered across its walls, Emily must decide who and what she trusts, and fast: local vigilantes are hunting Jack; the floods, the police, and her parents are blocking her path; and the town doesn’t need another dead body.

"Do you know why Jack left so suddenly?" Brown asked.
I shook my head but I could guess the worse. Two new signs had appeared after months of nothing. The superstitious talk of how death comes in threes. Becky was missing.

The Sham sounds interesting. Is it a YA novel?
ReplyDeleteIt's labeled as a YA contemporary novel. I'm thinking its a little bit older than YAm and more of a thriller than contemporary. If I personally labelled it, Id probably go with new adult thriller type book.
