I didn't particularly care for this one. Kendall's OCD bugged me, but there is always a reason for those character traits in books. Jacian is the typical new boy, jerk at first, then not a jerk later. And the whole "we" story, the main point of the book, was a little anticlimactic. I felt like this ...
Review taken from my blog, The HAunting of Orchid ForsythiaFirst Sentence:Everything changed when Tiffany Quinn disappears. Note: I'll most likely be reviewing the book version of Cryer's Cross in the foreseeable future...though it might be awhile. Story: Cryer's Cross was just one of those books we...
Lisa McMann's "Cryer's Cross" will probably strike different readers depending on what the reader's initial impressions of it will be. It's a very quick read, easy to digest in one prolonged sitting (I read the entire book in an evening), and has very nice characterization for the most part. As fa...
I've only read one other book by McMann before, but it seems like for me her books are always lacking one very important thing. In Wake, I felt that she had an interesting story and concept, but I didn't care about her characters. In this one, however, I liked the characters but thought the overall ...
Summary From Goodreads:The community of Cryer’s Cross, Montana (population 212) is distraught when high school freshman Tiffany disappears without a trace. Already off-balance due to her OCD, 16-year-old Kendall is freaked out seeing Tiffany’s empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow lif...
This book is haunting in the creepiest way. I literally had chills through most of the book. It's not a novel I will forget very soon. It may be short, but it definitely wasn't lacking. It was the perfect length for this story. Lisa McMann's writing always sucks me in. Her style is just so easy to f...
While I enjoyed the Wake trilogy, I was really drawn to Cryer's Cross because the concept seemed to be a lot creepier and more claustrophobic. I really liked the writing in this- whenever Kendall got stressed and her OCD kicked in, you could really tell how she was feeling and that desperation that ...
An elegant, chilling little ghost story, CRYER'S CROSS wrapped me up in Kendall's small town. McMann's decision to write a heroine with OCD was not an affectation, but rather the metronome by which a reader is hypnotized into Kendall's emotions. Who would be more terrified by the supernatural than ...
I adored Lisa McMann's first three novels, WAKE, FADE, and GONE, but had no idea what to expect of CRYER'S CROSS. The verse is absent, but there is still a certain cadence to the writing that identifies it as a McMann novel... It's entirely different from her first three, but no less impressive. Per...
