Title: Complicit.Author: Stephanie Kuehn.
Summary:
"Two years ago, sixteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh of 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 the truth about their past. A truth she’s kept hidden for years. A truth she’s not supposed to tell."
Release Date: 6/24/14.
Why I'm Waiting:
As always, the cover is what suckered me into clicking the link to this book. But after admiring the cover, realizing that the edges are made to look burnt and that the guy's face is made of smoke, the synopsis sounds pretty crazy! A girl who went from good to bad? Who burnt down a barn? And who is now being released, and has some BIG secret to tell her brother? UGH! Doesn't that sound so INTERESTING? I mean what secret could she have, that she isn't allowed to tell? Could this secret maybe explain why she had these drastic changes happen to her?
Picking this one up!
I read a really great review of this one that made me add it to my TBR as well. I love how much the cover seems to tie in with the story!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard a SINGLE person talking about this one. The cover is what suckered me in. Do you remember where you read the review?

Never heard of it, but it does sound great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I ever saw it as well. Not very many people seem to be picking it up. But the cover looks GOOD!
