"Brimming with intrigue and mystery, readers will be sucked into Lisa McMann's latest and best novel to date. Be sure you have a free schedule! You won't be able to stop reading until it's done!"

There's a certain point when a book crosses from a great book to The Book. The Book made by the angels of Heaven and delivered by Jesus himself to an author. It's blessed, it's magical, it's everything a book needs to be and more. Dead To You by Lisa McMann was delivered Priority Mail from God himself. He knocked on Lisa's door and handed her the package made of gold.

She opened it, and Dead To You was inside. A book that brims with undeniable intrigue. A book that sucks you in with it's creepy cover and mysterious summary that must be solved. I read this book in a few hours, and they were hours filled with anguish and mystery and an unstoppable need to know what the heck is keeping Ethan's memory blocked.

What I absolutely loved about Dead to You was how Lisa gradually made the relationship between Ethan and his family more and more strained and taut. It was so well done and masterful that I didn't actually realize how much change had happened until I finally finished the book. I literally gasped because, well, how many times do you find an author who can make a relationship change, but you only subconsciously realize that it's happening. It was perfectly done and made the book what it is!

The climax is...breathtaking. Some have told me that they thought it was somewhat predictable, but I didn't see that final bang that blew up within the very last pages. And that ending just CRIES for a sequel, but I can't see Lisa topping this one. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I seriously gasped at the end. I'm not kidding, it is so shocking that it will leave you gasping and your mind will be reeling.



Dead To You is by far Lisa McMann's BEST novel yet. It's dark, it's chilling, it's different, it's unpredictable, and it's definitely a daring, refreshing book on the YA shelves. Fans of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer will be drawn to the unsolvable mystery and the cliffhanger that will leave you scraping your jaw off the floor. Make sure when you pick this up you don't have any plans in the near future, because you won't be able to stop until it's done!
