Title: Feral
Author:
Release date:  August 26th 2014              
Publisher: HarperTeen 
The Lovely Bones meets Black Swan in this haunting psychological thriller with twists and turns that will make you question everything you think you know.
It’s too late for you. You’re dead. Those words continue to haunt Claire Cain months after she barely survived a brutal beating in Chicago. So when her father is offered a job in another state, Claire is hopeful that getting out will offer her a way to start anew.

But when she arrives in Peculiar, Missouri, Claire feels an overwhelming sense of danger, and her fears are confirmed when she discovers the body of a popular high school student in the icy woods behind the school, surrounded by the town’s feral cats. While everyone is quick to say it was an accident, Claire knows there’s more to it, and vows to learn the truth about what happened.
But the closer she gets to uncovering the mystery, the closer she also gets to realizing a frightening reality about herself and the damage she truly sustained in that Chicago alley….

Holly Schindler’s gripping story is filled with heart-stopping twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very last page




More than an hour after her heart had stopped, she found herself staring at the blue tips of her fingers, the wavy end of her long brown hair, the dusty top of an old wooden desk, and the fractured title of the janitors' office.

Funny to think it, now- a little over three years ago, the ER doctors had all talked about how strong she was. Earlier today, she'd been overtaken as quickly as an utter weakling. How was that possible?

I've seen The Lovely Bones but haven't read it yet, and I don't really get why it's tagged with it. :/ Apart from a little bit, nope.
This definitely sounds very creepy! I think I'm going to check this one out, even if the prospect of a brutal beating are terrifying me! Thanks for sharing :)

It's not that action-packed, but there's a few mysteries going on. :)
I enjoyed The Lovely Bones so I'd probably like this book too. Your Teasers made me curious.
