Waiting on Wednesday: Tighter by Adele Griffin



Book: Tighter by Adele Griffin
Release Date: May 10th, 2011
Genre: Young Adult / Thriller
Publisher: Knopf Books For Young Readers

Pages: 208
Description:
When 17-year-old Jamie arrives on the idyllic New England island of Little Bly to work as a summer au pair, she is stunned to learn of the horror that precedes her. Seeking the truth surrounding a young couple's tragic deaths, Jamie discovers that she herself looks shockingly like the dead girl—and that she has a disturbing ability to sense the two ghosts. Why is Jamie's connection to the couple so intense? What really happened last summer at Little Bly? As the secrets of the house wrap tighter and tighter around her, Jamie must navigate the increasingly blurred divide between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Brilliantly plotted, with startling twists, here is a thrilling page-turner from the award-winning Adele Griffin.

I love thrillers and this one sound absolutely magnificent. It seems to have paranormal elements mixed in with the scariness - which is always a good plan. Plus, I am practically in love with the cover. What do you guys think?
