Waiting on Wednesday (129) How to Disappear by Ann Redisch Stampler
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
This electric
cross-country thriller follows the game of cat and mouse between a girl
on the run from a murder she witnessed—or committed? —and the boy who's
sent to kill her.
Nicolette Holland is the girl everyone likes.
Up for adventure. Loyal to a fault. And she's pretty sure she can get
away with anything...until a young woman is brutally murdered in the
woods near Nicolette's house. Which is why she has to disappear.
Jack
Manx has always been the stand-up guy with the killer last name. But
straight A's and athletic trophies can't make people forget that his
father was a hit man and his brother is doing time for armed assault.
Just when Jack is about to graduate from his Las Vegas high school and
head east for college, his brother pulls him into the family business
with inescapable instructions: find this ruthless Nicolette Holland and
get rid of her. Or else Jack and everyone he loves will pay the price.
As
Nicolette and Jack race to outsmart each other, tensions—and
attractions—run high. Told in alternating voices, this tightly plotted
mystery and tense love story challenges our assumptions about right and
wrong, guilt and innocence, truth and lies.
