Publisher Description
A new YA supernatural romance novel from Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the young adult book series Pretty Little Liars finds heroine Casey Rhodes drowning in déjà vu and hearing voices in her head. Her romance with Marcus, heir to a media empire, is challenged by the instant connection she feels with Jake . . .
Is Casey a no-nonsense realist or a hopeless romantic? A just-getting-by scholarship student or a sometimes-Cinderella dating the cool, cultured heir and New York City’s most eligible? At seventeen years old and already in her sophomore year at NYU, Casey sheds disguises effortlessly. It’s how she navigates school and avoids the second-guessing that’s plagued her since she and her boyfriend, Marcus, got together.
But then Casey starts hearing voices that terrify her so badly she flees to the remote beach town of Avon Shores where she can sort through her thoughts and reset. But the voices only get more intense and are now accompanied by visions of places she’s never been and people she’s never met, like Jake, who’s lived in Avon Shores his whole life. There’s no way Casey could know him, yet she feels an immediate connection. And stranger still: he feels it, too. Together they search for answers, finding only questions—about their connection, Avon Shores, Casey’s memories . . . And whose voice is she hearing inside her head?
Wait for Me is full of thrills, romance, and intrigue. It's a love story about connection and a thriller about searching for answers within your own mind. This is the latest of Sara Shepard's books to successfully deliver as a suspenseful page-turner and young adult supernatural romance book destined to have readers swooning for more!
Hardcover with dust jacket; 320 pages; 8.3 x 5.5-inches.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Casey Rhodes's life seems to be going well: despite only being 17, she's already a sophomore student at NYU, gets along with her roommate Pippa, and recently started dating rich, charming Marcus. When Marcus sweeps her off her feet to a glitzy party and reveals he's used his connections to land her a publishing internship, Casey feels like she's living a Cinderella story, until she suddenly starts hearing an ominous voice and seeing violent visions. Convinced that school and family stress are catching up to her, she escapes to quiet beach town Avon Shores for a chance to clear her head. Once there, however, she's plagued by an inexplicable and overwhelming sense of déjà vu. As the voice gets louder and the visions increase in frequency, she finds herself mysteriously drawn to a boy named Jake, who claims he remembers her—but as a girl named Becky. Shepard (the Pretty Little Liars series) employs brisk dialogue and suspenseful atmosphere—one's never sure whether a kiss, a thrill, or a scare is around the corner—to keep the plot moving at a fast clip, crafting an immersive romantic mystery. Ages 14–up.
