The Masked Truth - covers, summary, excerpt, ARC giveaway

Yes, I’ve been Tumblr-awol (and not doing much better on Twitter, I’ll admit) Just a very busy year when I’ve had to re-prioritize my time. That means, instead of getting posts for the Masked Truth covers and then a summer and then an excerpt and then an advance copy giveaway, you get it all at once :)

The Masked Truth is a standalone YA thriller coming October 13. You’ll see the North American cover at the bottom (top cover) and the UK (bottom cover.) Here’s the synopsis:

Riley Vasquez is haunted by the brutal murder of the couple she was babysitting for.

Max Cross is suffering under the shadow of a life-altering diagnosis he doesn’t dare reveal.

The last thing either of them wants is to spend a weekend away at a therapy camp alongside five other teens with “issues.” But that’s exactly where they are when three masked men burst in to take the group hostage.

The building has no windows. The exits are sealed shut. Their phones are gone. And their captors are on a killing spree.

Riley and Max know that if they can’t get out, they’ll be next—but they’re about to find out that even escape doesn’t equal freedom.

Want to read more? I’ve posted a decent sized chunk already–the first five chapters, which are here (scroll down if it looks blank–it’s just that the title is set low)

And now to give away an ARC (advance reader copy)  To enter, e-mail contest@kelleyarmstrong.com & tell me what is the diagnosis that the summary cryptically mentions for Max. It’s in the excerpt :)
Deadline: midnight Sunday June 14. One correct entry will be chosen at random.
