The cover and synopsis were revealed last week, actually, while I was still in the writing cave and not blogging. So this is not a "reveal"-post, it's an appreciation post!
I fell in love with Nova Ren Suma's writing after finishing Imaginary Girls. I loved the haunting creepiness of the set up and that I was never quite sure about what was real and what not.
So I am more than happy to have the cover and synopsis of Suma's new book on my blog today:
"Seventeen-year-old Lauren is having visions of girls who have gone missing. And all these girls have just one thing in common—they are 17 and gone without a trace. As Lauren struggles to shake these waking nightmares, impossible questions demand urgent answers: Why are the girls speaking to Lauren? How can she help them? And . . . is she next? As Lauren searches for clues, everything begins to unravel, and when a brush with death lands her in the hospital, a shocking truth emerges, changing everything."
Cover & Synopsis taken from Distraction no. 99
17 & Gone sounds just as creepy and mind-boggling as Imaginary Girls! Missing girls, waking nightmares (those words alone would hook me), a brush with death and a shocking truth? This book is already in the top 5 of my most anticipated 2013 books!
And I love, love, love the cover! The orangy-red, the shifting light and the silhouette of a girl have the feel of a fading memory, there yet illusive, and the Missing Person report enhances that, makes the memory more urgent.
And I love the reflections of light on/around the 17, it's blinking is enticing and luring, yet still the memory is out of reach.
March 21st 2013 can't come fast enough.
Nova Ren Suma really lucks out with her covers---they are all gorgeous!
