'Because life isn’t fair, and you can’t make people like you. But you can get revenge.'

What an explosive conclusion to this Poe inspired duology! Stunning, no-holds-barred carnage. Amontillado, Ohio is the setting of disappeared parents, a prowling panther, and '...tigers, marijuana, and dead girls, oh my!' This author doesn't pull any punches, and that's why she's become my favorite for YA thrillers.

'What I need is to not have Felicity Turnado’s blood on my hands. I need a panther put back in his cage and for my wounds to close.'
