Kendall loves her life in small town Cryer's Cross, Montana, but she also longs for something more. She knows the chances of going to school in New York are small, but she's not the type to give up easily. Even though it will mean leaving Nico, the world's sweetest boyfriend, behind. But when Cryer's Cross is rocked by unspeakable tragedy, Kendall shoves her dreams aside and focuses on just one goal: help find her missing friends. Even if it means spending time with the one boy she shouldn't get close to... the one boy who makes her question everything she feels for Nico. Determined to help and to stay true to the boy she's always loved, Kendall keeps up the search--and stumbles upon some frightening local history. She knows she can't stop digging, but Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.... “Cryer’s Cross is an eerie, gripping, totally addictive, breathtaking whirl of a book with an ending that left me haunted for days. Lisa McMann has done it again—this book is unputdownable!” --Alyson Noël, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Immortals series. "A brilliant, engaging, scary piece of fiction. Every word had me sliding closer to the edge of my seat and gripping the cover tighter and tighter. There are books in the world that make you question your reality and the things that go bump in the night--this is one of them." --Heather Brewer, New York Times bestselling author of the Chronicles of Vladmir Tod series

"Wow. This was amazing! Creepy, but amazing. This was something unique, something completely different both in story and in character that I've ever read. What I loved about this first was Kendall. I know a lot of people say they have OCD. No, they don't. She is a true sufferer of the condition and it was great to get an insight of what that might actually be like. <br/><br/>Second, the story. What a story! I had a feeling getting into this it might not give me the HEA I usually love and enjoy. I cried. The struggles that Kendall goes through not only when her best friend and boyfriend go missing but what happens when her routines are thrown off and how she has to deal with the complications that come with it when it effects her OCD. <br/><br/>I have to say this book effected me more than I thought it would. After I finished it I started with the "What if's". What if they did this differently, what if this happened... It really made me feel like I was there living it instead of reading it. I love it when I get that involved in a book!<br/><br/>A superb story. Dark, creepy, twisted, and with a little bit of hope that shines through it all. McMann twists them all together for a perfect blend that kept me reading."
