Twenty years ago, Catherine Whitley was the victim of a horrible crime. Betrayed by her friends, including the boy she loved, she was left to die when the Rock Harbor Opera House caught fire, taking a disturbing secret with her to her grave.
Seventeen-year-old Heath Ingram was driving the night his Jeep careened off the road, killing three of his closest friends. Once a popular, outgoing athlete, Heath now suffers from severe depression and crippling anxiety. His parents decide to send him to stay with his uncle in Rock Harbor, Oregon for the summer, praying that by getting away he will be able to put this awful tragedy behind.
When Heath starts working at the newly renovated Rock Harbor Opera House, he meets Molly, a young dancer who awakens in him a desire to start over and move on. But, when he begins having visions of a half-burned girl in a white dress, he starts to think he may be slipping even further over the edge.
As the apparent hauntings become more intense, Heath begins to fear for his safety. With the help of his friend Josie, Heath discovers an unsettling secret that ties the mysterious girl to both their families. When two of their friends die unexpectedly, Josie and Heath realize that something, or someone, is after the children of those who wronged Catherine, and they are next.


First of all, I really enjoyed this novel and I definitely recommend especially if you like ghost stories. Now for the cover, I absolutely love it. I actually love both this cover and the Hardcover’s cover pretty equally. Although, I think I may be partial to this one since my name is on it! DID YOU SEE?

So freaking cool, right? I’m super honored and was completely surprised when O’Dell emailed me about it (Btw, I love his face and you have to check out his fabulous book blog that I stalk regularly!). So duh, you have to read it now! Just saying. PLUS:
Gab the ebook for 2.99$!

Ohmygosh! YOUR NAME IS ON IT!!! 😀 *starts to hyper-dance* That’s so exciting! I honestly don’t know which cover looks better… but I’m more inclined to say that the newer one is better (you can guess why xD). And yeah, I’ve heard a lot of great things about THE WEEPING. I’m gonna have to check it out soon. 😉
Thanks for sharing, Giselle!

Sounds like it’s going to be a sad story because Catherine gets betrayed by her friend and they guy she likes!!

I don’t read many ghost stories, I guess there aren’t many in YA these days but you definitely have me interested in this book!

I really like both covers too. I don’t like one better than the other. well, I guess I like this one slightly better though only because it has your name on it. 🙂 I really do need to read this book sometime.

To be honest, these types of books creeps me out. People have no idea what kind of evil your dealing with.
