Waiting on Wednesday (13) - Darkness, My Old Friend

This event is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and features books that we are eagerly anticipating. My choice for this week is:

Darkness, My Old Friend

by Lisa Unger

Publisher: Crown

Available on August 9th

2nd in The Hollows series

     After giving up his post at the Hollows Police Department, Jones Cooper is at loose ends. He is having trouble facing a horrible event from his past and finding a second act. He’s in therapy. Then, on a brisk October morning, he has a visitor. Eloise Montgomery, the psychic who plays a key role in Fragile, comes to him with predictions about his future, some of them dire.

     Michael Holt, a young man who grew up in The Hollows, has returned looking for answers about his mother, who went missing many years earlier. He has hired local PI Ray Muldune and psychic Eloise Montgomery to help him solve the mystery that has haunted him. What he finds might be his undoing.

     Fifteen-year-old Willow Graves is exiled to The Hollows from Manhattan when six months earlier she moved to the quiet town with her novelist mother after a bitter divorce. Willow is acting out, spending time with kids that bring out the worst in her. And when things get hard, she has a tendency to run away—a predilection that might lead her to dark places.

     Set in The Hollows, the backdrop for Fragile, this is the riveting story of lives set on a collision course with devastating consequences.

I read Fragile by Lisa Unger last year and really, really loved it.  My review is here.  I'm very much looking forward to returning to The Hollows and the Cooper family and am anxious to see what will happen next in this intriguing community.  I...can't...wait!!
