Waiting on Wednesdays (6)

Waiting On Wednesdays is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights highly anticipated releases.

Title: Shadow Hills
Author: Anastasia Hopcus
Publishing Date: July 13, 2010
Synopsis:

Since her sister’s mysterious death, Persephone “Phe” Archer has been plagued by a series of disturbing dreams. Determined to find out what happened to her sister, Phe enrolls at Devenish Prep in Shadow Hills, Massachusetts—the subject of her sister’s final diary entry.

After stepping on campus, Phe immediately realizes that there’s something different about this place—an unexplained epidemic that decimated the town in the 1700s, an ancient and creepy cemetery, and gorgeous boy Zach—and somehow she’s connected to it all.

But the more questions she asks and the deeper she digs, the more entangled Phe becomes in the haunting past of Shadow Hills. Finding what links her to this town…might cost her her life. 

My Thoughts: 

I got a bookmark from A Passion For Books and so obviously I wanted to know the plotline and more about the book. The premise seems so interesting and unique. Ok, yea, we've seen a lot of forbidden love, but I feel like this one will be more bittersweet. But the place Phe goes to and how the boy she likes might be the cause of her sister's death just makes this book really interesting. And we don't even know the secrets yet, whether the secrets are that he's a vampire (bleh :P) or he's the killer, but with a time twist. The plot seems really intense and cannot wait for it to come out!
