Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann

Summary:
Kendall loves her life in small town Cryer's Cross, Montana, but she also longs for something more. She knows the chances of going to school in New York are small, but she's not the type to give up easily. Even though it will mean leaving Nico, the world's sweetest boyfriend, behind.

But when Cryer's Cross is rocked by unspeakable tragedy, Kendall shoves her dreams aside and focuses on just one goal: help find her missing friends. Even if it means spending time with the one boy she shouldn't get close to... the one boy who makes her question everything she feels for Nico.

Determined to help and to stay true to the boy she's always loved, Kendall keeps up the search--and stumbles upon some frightening local history. She knows she can't stop digging, but Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried....

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

My review: I am usually pretty lenient with books, but I guess I haven't been feeling so merciful lately. The summary in itself bothers me, especially the last sentence because I honestly feel like it led you into thinking it was a different kind of book. I don't think it's true at all, and I thought the way it wrapped up was really weird. **SPOILER ALERT** I liked Kendall's character, but just the whole idea of a haunted desk that possesses kids to bury themselves alive was a little too much for me.

I liked the book...but yeah, the idea was a bit out there.
