(Don't You) Forget About Me
Don't You Forget About Me by Kate Karyus Quinn

                                 


Welcome to Gardnerville.

A place where no one gets sick. And no one ever dies.

Except...
There’s a price to pay for paradise. Every fourth year, the strange power that fuels the town exacts its payment by infecting teens with deadly urges. In a normal year in Gardnerville, teens might stop talking to their best friends. In a fourth year, they’d kill them.



Four years ago, Skylar’s sister, Piper, was locked away after leading sixteen of her classmates to a watery grave. Since then, Skylar has lived in a numb haze, struggling to forget her past and dull the pain of losing her sister. But the secrets and memories Piper left behind keep taunting Skylar—whispering that the only way to get her sister back is to stop Gardnerville’s murderous cycle once and for all.

Still Shaking after escaping from GG's and uncertain about where to go or what to do next, I end up back at school. In the Girls' room, I use cheap brown paper towels to scrub the residual dirt from my skin.






Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme created here at
The Broke and the Bookish that features a great bookish top ten every week.

  3. I enjoyed Dorothy Must Die once she went to live with Dorothy. It really got good and action-y from there. Cress was amazing. I just finished it today actually. I love that series... it's lived up to all it's hype. I really want to read The Madman's Daughter books AND the LHA book you have up there!! I bought it months ago and just can't ever get to it!! #bookgirlproblems
