DETAILS

Synopsis

The new girl is as pale as a ghost, blond, and eerily beautiful -- and she seems to need him as much as he wants her. Cory Brooks hungers for Anna Corwin's kisses, drowns in her light blue eyes. He can't get her out of his mind. He has been losing sleep, ditching his friends...and everyone has noticed.

Then as suddenly as she came to Shadyside High, Anna disappears. To find a cure for his obsession, Cory must go to Anna's house on Fear Street -- no matter what the consequences.

Anna may be the love of his life ... but finding out her secret might mean his death.

Quote(s)

1.    Bye, Anna. … I must cry for you now. and I must run and tell them.

2.    He didn’t need his brain. The moves were all locked in his muscles. After practicing these moves thousands and thousands of times, he was like a machine, a smoothly running machine.

3.    “Can you help me, Cory?”

4.    Anna asked, laughing a light musical laugh.

5.    “We have to celebrate, Cory. You and me. Come.”

Reading Experience

I wish I was reading a physical book instead of reading it from e-reader! I would have finished it faster. I couldn’t understand why would a sixteen-year-old throws away his future for a girl he barely meets and he doesn’t even know if she is a real person or a ghost. *sighs* He was reckless too. Driving in the middle of the night without anyone knowing to the street that is famous for unsolved mysteries by a crush that he barely knows. Speaks serial killer to me. Other than that, he was not only parking there, but he was also opening the window and walking on the street. This is ridiculous.

Plus, Anna always runs away after kissing Cory. That’s just weird, don’t they? Why playing mouse and cat? That’s just eerie!

Anyway, this is a good story. It’s been a while I’ve read something like this. I am looking forward to reading more of this.
