I really enjoyed Fracture by Megan Miranda, so I was super-excited to see this pop up on NetGalley:
Hysteria
by Megan Miranda
To be published by Walker Children's Books
On February 5, 2013.
Here's the blurb:Mallory killed her boyfriend, Brian. She can’t remember the details of that night but everyone knows it was self-defense, so she isn’t charged. But Mallory still feels Brian’s presence in her life. Is it all in her head? Or is it something more? In desperate need of a fresh start, Mallory is sent to Monroe, a fancy prep school where no one knows her... or anything about her past. But the feeling follows her, as do her secrets. Then, one of her new classmates turns up dead. As suspicion falls on Mallory, she must find a way to remember the details of both deadly nights so she can prove her innocence -- to herself and others.
Me: A murder? A boarding school? A haunting? Amnesia? Plus this cool surrealist art inspired cover?
I'm so there! Thanks, Bloomsbury, for letting me check this one out!
The boarding school part seems to be a big draw to us in the book blogging world :) I know it's part of the reason I'm interested and I've seen a few other people mention it as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect no-adults atmosphere!
DeleteSo excited for this one, too. I loved Fracture and was squeeing when I saw this on NG. Can't wait to get started on it. I agree...that cover is AWESOME. I love stories about memory loss and murder and I just know this one will be great. :)
ReplyDeleteVery excited to read it!
DeleteI used this as my WoW a while back! It sounds really awesome. I have it from NetGalley and can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteHuh. I must have missed it. I'm glad I saw it on NetGalley and nabbed it!
DeleteAsdfghjkl!! I love the cover so much!! And it sounds freaking good!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading Jen! :)
A
Isn't the cover cool??
DeleteI requested it! Hopefully I will get it. I loved her first book :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'll approve you! You're a reading machine!
DeleteThis one sounds great! I requested it on Netgalley. Too bad Bloomsbury hates me though. haha! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteMy Wow Pick!
Aw, I feel that way sometimes. There is one publisher that never approves me. I live in hope!
DeleteI requested this one a few days a couple of weeks back on Netgalley (UK edition), and I finished it two days ago. My review is up on my website. =)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fantastic read!!!

Just went and read your review. Now I'm even more excited!
DeleteI have this one up for my WOW this week. I guess great minds think a like. The reason I'm drawn to this is because of its boarding school elements. I LOVE boarding schools stories. My favorite series was Hex Hall. How about you?
ReplyDeleteLOL --- I answered your question on your blog!
DeleteI've read one of that author's books before and it was really good, definitely want to read this one too because it sounds awesome! Thanks for posting it :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it!
DeleteThis does look really good, I just love that cover. I'm pretty bummed though because I was just declined for this title on netgalley. Guess I will just have to keep waiting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WOW =D
Aw, sorry :( I have good luck on NetGalley but on Edelweiss I have about a 50% turndown rate.
DeleteI can't wait to read this! I was shocked when I got approved for it on NetGalley!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I got this on netgalley too! Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteHappy that so many other people get to read it too!
DeleteYes! I cannot wait to read this one too! I really liked Fracture and hope this one is just as good, if not, better :) Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI liked Fracture, but I think this sounds even more like my kind of book :)
DeleteThis one has definitely been on my TBR! Looking forward to it! Love the cover too :-)
ReplyDeleteNot too long to wait!
DeleteI have been seeing this book around a few places, have added it to my TBR. Looks so good. New GFC Follower. :)

Welcome to the blog -- went and checked yours out too :)
DeleteYES!!! This book looks AWESOME! And I'm absolutely in LOVE with the cover ... very eerie. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited. In Canada, do you get the UK cover or the US cover? Does it depend on where you order the book??
DeleteOh my gosh, that had me from the first line! She killed her boyfriend? But can't remember it? Yeah, this is definitely on my TBR list now! Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW!
I know, right?
DeleteOooh boarding school! I can't even tell you what it is about them, but I love when they're the setting :D
ReplyDeleteMy WoW this week is Reboot by Amy Tintera
This is one I am looking forward to too! I have yet to read Fracture either but the author is coming to a local event in May so I hope to have a chance to read them beforehand.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great pick! I'm absolutely dying over this cover. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHYSTERIA does look great. I want to know WHY she killed the boy friend. Self-defense I know, but details....
ReplyDeleteI still need to read Fracture. I had it from the library but then had to return it without ever having time to read it. This one sounds like a creepy mystery! Thinking she killed her boyfriend but not remembering. I have a feeling she probably didn't! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI actually went to boarding school and trust me, it was a blast. We really tried as hard as we could to get away with murder. That pun was not intended! This book looks awesome. I love a good fall/winter mystery!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I've seen it around a couple of times now and I really like the sound of it. I would love to give it a try when it comes out. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCome check out my WOW post.
