Book Watch: Slide by Jill Hathaway.

Posted by Rowena at 6:00 AM



Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth—her sister’s friend Sophie didn’t kill herself. She was murdered.

Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn’t actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she passes out, she slides into somebody else’s mind and experiences the world through that person’s eyes. She’s slid into her sister as she cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class. She learned the worst about a supposed “friend” when she slid into her during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie’s slashed body.

Vee desperately wishes she could share her secret, but who would believe her? It sounds so crazy that she can’t bring herself to tell her best friend, Rollins, let alone the police. Even if she could confide in Rollins, he has been acting off lately, more distant, especially now that she’s been spending more time with Zane.

Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.

I'm super excited to start reading this book. I got it for review last week and I'm thrilled. Over the moon because it sounds like such a great book. The blurb is interesting and I'm excited to see how Vee slides in and out of people's thoughts and finds out their secrets and everything. This book doesn't come out until March 27, 2012 so we'll have to be patient for a few more weeks but I'm sure it'll be great.

Is anyone else excited to read this book?

..and that's your scoop!

I'm not really excited for this book. It just doesn't seem like something that would interest me, but I'm going to give it a try anyways.

The mystery involved in the story is what intrigues me. She'll have to solve the mystery the old fashioned way if she wants to expose the killer.

Well, what I mean to say is that is what *I* think she should do. :D

This book sound so creepy and original!
It's on my maybe list because I'm still not sure how it will turn out, so I'm waiting for it to be reviewed.

@Katie: What kind of books do you enjoy the most?

@Rita: I know, right? It'll be interesting to see how the author tells this story. I'm anxious.

@Alex: I know, it does seem creepy because can you imagine sliding into the mind of a killer? Why hasn't anyone written this kind of story before?
