Ah, nothing like relocating to live with you great-aunt, in her creepy house, with her creepy ways, in her creepy town. OK, that’s not precisely how this book is describe, but really, sounds pretty close. And creepy. Definitely hoping to get a chance to read this one.

A dark, romantic YA suspense novel with an SF edge and plenty of drama, layering the secrets we keep and how appearances can deceive, from the New York Times bestselling author.
In this tiny, terrifying town, the lost are never found. When Araceli Flores Harper is sent to live with her great-aunt Ottilie in her ramshackle Victorian home, the plan is simple. She’ll buckle down and get ready for college. Life won’t be exciting, but she’ll cope, right?Wrong. From the start, things are very, very wrong. Her great-aunt still leaves food for the husband who went missing twenty years ago, and local businesses are plastered with MISSING posters. There are unexplained lights in the woods and a mysterious lab just beyond the city limits that the locals don’t talk about. Ever. When she starts receiving mysterious letters that seem to be coming from the past, she suspects someone of pranking her or trying to drive her out of her mind. To solve these riddles and bring the lost home again, Araceli must delve into a truly diabolical conspiracy, but some secrets fight to stay buried…
I keep meaning to read some Ann Agguire but I have so many books in my TBR pile… I did read the duology she wrote with her husband and really loved those books. She seems like an author I’d love.

I’ve read some Aguirre in the past and really enjoyed it. I am hoping I get a chance to read this one soon as well. Nice choice!
I love the sound of this, and it sounds so different from her other books!

It’s been a while since I read something by Ann Aguirre, and maybe it’s time I sampled some of her works again – this sounds like something different, and well worth a try…
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Her last YA thriller mystery was a tad too heavy on the romance for me, and it sounds like this one might be very similar, so I’m going to wait and see!
I’ve been looking at this title too. It sounds like something I would like.
