In the Middle - Paperback

by S. J. Henderson (Author)

Girl moves to new town. Girl meets Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome. Cue Happily Ever After. That's how the story goes, right? Except this is Lucy. The same Lucy whose stellar driving skills single-handedly wiped out both of her parents, leaving her with nothing but the suitcase in her hand and the screws in her skull. Not to mention that Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome-AKA Oliver-is just as annoyingly bossy as he is hot. According to Oliver, Lucy's not safe in her new hometown, but he refuses to say why. He just gives her some lame warning about not going out after dark, like that'll stop her. When several townspeople vanish, the lethargic community springs to life, fearful of the danger lurking among them. The problem is that Lucy's the last person to have seen any of the missing. Doesn't exactly qualify her for the Neighbor of the Year Award. Lucy's already given up on Happily Ever After, but now she has two choices left: find out what's happening in her new home, or become the next victim.
