"I Know Your Secret . . ."
It started with weird e-mails and freaky phone calls. Now someone's leaving Drea white lilies-the same death lilies that have been showing up in Stacy's dreams. Everybody thinks it's just a twisted game . . . until another girl at school is brutally murdered.
There are no witnesses. Worst of all, no one has a perfect alibi. With everyone as a potential suspect, Stacy turns to the one secret weapon she can trust-the folk magic taught to her by her grandmother. Will Stacy's magic be strong enough to expose the true killer, or will the killer make her darkest nightmares come true?

No corsage or limo rental necessary. Just good, scary fun.

Until three months ago, everything in sixteen-year-old Camelia's life had been
fairly ordinary: decent grades, an okay relationship with her parents, and a pretty cool part-time job at the art studio downtown. But when a mysterious boy named Ben starts junior year at her high school, Camelia's life becomes anything but ordinary.
Rumored to be somehow responsible for his ex-girlfriend's accidental death, Ben is immediately ostracized by everyone on campus. Except for Camelia. She's reluctant to believe he's trouble, even when her friends try to convince her otherwise. Instead, she's inexplicably drawn to Ben.and to his touch. But soon, Camelia is receiving eerie phone calls and strange packages with threatening notes. Ben insists she is in danger, and that he can help-but can he be trusted? She knows he's hiding something... but he's not the only one with a secret.

I finally found time between school and volleyball to make it across the street to Barnes and Noble and by a book. I have been waiting for my BN to get this book in paperback and they finally do, and ive already finished it so I hope to review it soon.
For Review
If I could add a sound effect to the next book in my In My Mailbox it would be a high pitched squeal-like scream!!!

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.
With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Ahhhh it is impossible to express my excitement within this little sentence. I have been waiting for this book since the first time I saw the gorgeous cover, I'm a sucker for the color gray (go figure)!!! And I love the first sentence in the synopsis it just sounds so engaging and inviting!!! I can't wait !!!
Im just adding this late because we forgot to check our mail yesterday so when I went to go see what why it was slightly open, you could imagine my suprise when I happen upon this!!!
