My pick this week:
Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn
Published by St. Martin's Press on June 24, 2014
Genres: Contemporary, YA
Goodreads
Two years ago, fifteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh relief when a judge sentenced his older sister to juvenile detention for burning down their neighbor’s fancy horse barn. The whole town did. Because Crazy Cate Henry used to be a nice girl. Until she did a lot of bad things. Like drinking. And stealing. And lying. Like playing weird mind games in the woods with other children. Like making sure she always got her way. Or else.
But today Cate got out. And now she’s coming back for Jamie.
Because more than anything, Cate Henry needs her little brother to know this one simple truth: she’s not the crazy one and never has been.
He is.
This is the same author who wrote Charm and Strange that I really enjoyed earlier to year so I’m excited that she’s got a new book coming out. It sounds dark and creepy – you know me, right? 😀
What are you waiting on, this week?

I always know I’m gonna get a unique WOW pick when I come here which I love. This is really creepy, kind of reminds me of the twist in Shadowlands (which I am still WTF about it btw).
