Murder.
Fire.
Revenge.
That’s all seventeen-year-old Alice Monroe thinks about. Committed to a mental ward at Savage Isle, Alice is haunted by memories of the fire that killed her boyfriend, Jason. A blaze her twin sister Cellie set. But when Chase, a mysterious, charismatic patient, agrees to help her seek vengeance, Alice begins to rethink everything. Writing out the story of her troubled past in a journal, she must confront hidden truths.
Is the one person she trusts only telling her half the story? Nothing is as it seems in this edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller from the debut author Emiko Jean.
I’ve found so few YA psychological thrillers that really impress but I have yet to give up yet on the genre. This sounds like it certainly has serious potential though and I can’t wait to see for myself!
What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me a link to your post and I’ll be sure to stop by!

Yes, thousand times yes! Psychological thrillers with a hint of magical realism can’t be bad! I almost chose We’ll Never Be Apart myself this week, but decided to go with something else. 🙂 Great pick!

I saw a cover for this one at BEA and it totally caught my attention. I like books that make your pulse race and this one looks like that. Excellent choice.

This sounds so creepy! And I love book covers where tree branches are spelling out the title. Not sure why:-D Great pick!
