Brilliantly plotted, with startling twists, here is a thrilling page-turner from the award-winning Adele Griffin.
Doesn't this book sound all kinds of wonderful? A thrilling, chilling ghost story and lots of gothic goodness! I first heard of this book when it was featured on Small Review and put it straight on my wish list. I can't find a UK release date for Tighter, but if anyone knows, please tell me! In any case, I will be ordering a copy when it's released in the US because I cannot wait to read this one!
As always, let me know what you think of my choice, and share your WOW picks in comments! :)
