#BookReview of The Telling by @AlexandraSirowy

About the Book: 

Lana used to know what was real. That was before, when her life was small and quiet. Her golden stepbrother, Ben was alive. She could only dream about bonfiring with the populars. Their wooded island home was idyllic, she could tell truth from lies, and Ben's childhood stories were firmly in her imagination.

Then came after.

After has Lana boldly kissing her crush, jumping into the water from too high up, living with nerve and mischief. But after also has horrors, deaths that only make sense in fairy tales, and terrors from a past Lana thought long forgotten: love, blood, and murder.

My Review: How gorgeous is that cover? I was hooked from just the cover and oh my goodness, I'm so glad I got read this! It had my emotions running wild and it was beautiful and painful and I loved it. The characters were all so well developed that I had a really hard time even choosing a favorite. What really made me love the book was the suspense and trying to figure out who was actually committing the murders and why they were doing it!! I really don't want to spoil anything so GO GET THIS BOOK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
