The Telling
Author: Alexandra Sirowy
Publication Date: August 2nd, 2016
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Synopsis: Lana used to know what was real.
That was before when her life was small and quiet.
Her golden step-brother, Ben, was alive, she could only dream about bonfiring with the populars, their wooded island home was idyllic, she could tell the truth from lies, and Ben’s childhood stories were firmly in her imagination.
Then came after.
After has Lana boldly kissing her crush, jumping into the water from too high up, and living with nerve and mischief. But after also has horrors, deaths that only make sense in fairy tales, and terrors from a past Lana thought long forgotten: Love, blood, and murder.
I love books that have bit of a creepy theme going on! Therefore, I’m so excited to read this one. It’s also coming out around the end of summer, so I think it will make the perfect book for early fall. The whole synopsis for this one sounds really mysterious and interesting, and I have a feeling it’s going to be quite the chiller.
