Thirty-two hours of my life are missing. My best friend Lydia, tells me to imagine those hours like old clothes in the back of a dark closet. Shut my eyes. Open the door. Move things around. Search. The things I do remember, I'd rather not. Four freckles. Eyes that aren't black but blue, wide open, two inches from mine. Insects gnawing into a smooth, soft cheek. The grit of the earth in my teeth. Those parts, I remember. It's my seventeenth birthday, and the candles on my cake are burning.
Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin
I am the star of screaming tabloid headlines and campfire ghost stories. I am one of the four Black-Eyed Susans. The lucky one.

Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “FRICTION”
Sounds intense! I'd keep reading to find out if she ever remembered more about what must have been a terrifying event.
My Tuesday post features a mystery thriller: THE SHADOW CARTEL.
I hope you like this one as much as I did!
A very intriguing opening--I would definitely read on.
Sounds good to me.
Sounds awesome, I need to see if the library has this one.
The opening is very gritty, but somehow compelling for me. I want to read more.
I have read, and loved, this book last year. I would keep reading if I was you, and I do recommend it. I read some mixed reviews here and there, but I think that you would enjoy it too.
Ooooh, you reminded me how much I want to read this~!
