THE OTHER SIDE OF DARK

Thirteen-year-old Stacy is sunbathing when she hears a noise; turning, she sees a man with a gun, then everything goes black. Four years later, she wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of what happened. Now she's 17 with a lot of time to catch up on, and she needs to grow up fast. The killer is still out there, hoping she can't remember who killed her mother and tried to kill her. Is it the new guy in school who seems to have fallen for her? Or one of her old friends? Christina Moore is a pro; she builds the tension throughout, making Stacy a brave heroine fighting confusion and terror. She pulls us along, gamely opening each new door to a dark room, while at the same time making our hearts pound with the urge to shout, "Don't go in there!"
