Paper Valentine

By Brenna Yovanoff

Release Date: January 18, 2013

Summary: The city of Ludlow is gripped by the hottest July on record.  The asphalt is melting, the birds are dying, petty crime is on the rise, and someone in Hannah Wagnor’s peaceful suburban community is killing girls.

For Hannah, the summer is a complicated one.  Her best friend Lillian died six months ago, and Hannah just wants her life to go back to normal. But how can things be normal when Lillian’s ghost is haunting her bedroom, pushing her to investigate the mysterious string of murders?  Hannah’s just trying to understand why her friend self-destructed, and where she fits now that Lillian isn’t there to save her a place among the social elite. And she must stop thinking about Finny Boone, the big, enigmatic delinquent whose main hobbies seem to include petty larceny and surprising acts of kindness.

With the entire city in a panic, Hannah soon finds herself drawn into a world of ghost girls and horrifying secrets.  She realizes that only by confronting the Valentine Killer will she be able move on with her life—and it’s up to her to put together the pieces before he strikes again.

Paper Valentine is a hauntingly poetic tale of love and death by the New York Times bestselling author of The Replacement and The Space Between

Doesn't this one sound absolutely perfect for Halloween time? Too bad it doesn't come out for another 3 months! A world of murder, ghosts, and horrifying secrets sounds like a story I won't be able to put down! And there seems to be a hint of romance with Finny Boone (how more of an awesome name can you have??), which is always an added plus in my book! I can't wait to read this story about the Valentine Killer and see where things go!
