When - Victoria Laurie

Descriere

nMaddie doesn't have a choice. The forehead of every person she sees is marked by the shadowy digits of their deathdate. Her unique, innate skill often feels more like a curse than a gift, and Maddie grudgingly puts it to use identifying deathdates for the paying customers her mother reels in. It seems like a straightforward way to help support her family-until one client's young son goes missing on the exact date Maddie has pinpointed, and she gets pulled into a homicide investigation that turns her world upside down. nAs more young people disappear and are later found murdered, suspicion swirls around Maddie. At once a suspect in the investigation, a target for the murderer, and a partner in a tantalizing dance with a boy who might be connected to it all, could Maddie also hold the key to cracking the case? n nThis perfectly plotted high-stakes, fast-paced thriller marks New York Times best-selling author Victoria Laurie's YA debut and brims with depth, heart, action, and romance. n Praise for When Laurie's debut for teens is quite an accomplishment...The character development is just as riveting as the plot in this well-constructed thriller. n -Kirkus Reviews n nThe novel packs in plenty of fast-paced, nail-biting fun, perfect for fans of Barnes' The Naturals series. n -Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books n nThis excellent book is a must-have for all libraries, especially where suspense and teen-life fiction is hot.
