An amazing book! I loved the creepy factor, and had absolutely no idea where the story was going. The main character, Kendall, suffers from OCD, and her whirring and rambling thoughts keep your nerves revved up right along with her, and I gotta say, she sucked me right into the story. I am looking forward to checking out McMann's other YA reads.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE EVIL IS LURKING

The small town of Cryer's Cross is rocked by tragedy when an unassuming freshman disappears without a trace. Kendall Fletcher wasn't that friendly with the missing girl, but the angst wreaks havoc on her OCD-addled brain.

When a second student goes missing-someone close to Kendall's heart-the community is in an uproar. Caught in a downward spiral of fear and anxiety, Kendall's not sure she can hold it together. When she start hearing the voices of the missing calling out to her and pleading for help, she fears she's losing her grip on reality.

But when she finds messages scratched in a desk at school-messages that could only be from the missing student who used to sit there-Kendall decides that crazy or not, she's never forgive herself if she didn't act on her suspicions.

Something's not right in Cryer's Cross-and Kendall's about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.
