I've never heard of this YA thriller before I saw this trailer published by Walker Books on YouTube yesterday. It sounds so good so I thought I might share it :)
I prefer the UK version of the cover myself though I wouldn't mind if it had a tad more of the creapiness factor.
Summary of Blood on My Hands by Todd Strasser(borrowed from Goodreads):
Callie is at an October keg party in the woods, when she notices that her friend Katherine has gone missing. The kids spread out to look for her and Callie finds her, lying on a path, with a big, bloody fake knife in her. She reaches for the knife and raises it, only to discover, to her horror, that it is real. At that moment, another of the search party stumbles on them, and takes a photo of Callie holding the bloody knife. Now she is the suspect in a grisly murder. How can she prove her innocence - and find the true murderer?

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome trailer! I was screaming "never pick up the murder weapon!" haha, but it was still really gripping. Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled for this one.

I wonder why they have different covers in different countries. I remember when I first moved to the US I bought a bunch of books from a favorite author thinking they were new because I didn't recognize the cover but I had read them all, only the cover had changed.

Å dette ser utrolig spennende ut!!!! Er det laget en filmatisk trailer for boken, dette er ikke en film? Har jeg forstått det rett? Utrolig bra, da.
ReplyDeleteØnsker deg en kjempefin påske!!!! :-)
Eirin: Ja, det stemmer, det er ikke film nei men en bok :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a slick trailer! I have no idea if the book's any good, but I want to hire the marketing team to help me with publicity.
