From Amazon: Summer's ending, Evie's stepfather is finally home from the Second World War, and Evie is tired of her glamorous mother treating her like a little girl. Then a mysterious stranger appears; a handsome ex-GI who served with Evie's stepfather. Slowly, Evie realizes that she is falling in love with him - but he has dark secrets, and a strange control over her parents. When a sudden tragedy occurs, Evie's world is shattered. Torn between her family and the man she loves, Evie must betray someone. The question is... who?
I can't wait to read this book! It's published here in July, and is going to have a retro dust-jacket over the paperback, which sounds very cool. I've heard good things about it, and I know it won an award in the US, which makes me even more excited. If you've already read it, what did you think?

this books looks really intriguing. thanks for the WOW
This sounds reallt cool and I like the idea of the duct-cover paperback. We don't get many of them!
So cool. I really want to read this one!
The cover is awesome!
Read this and reviewed it on my blog! (If, uh, you can find it; I've yet to include a search device--will get on that.) It's pretty darn good, not the best, but intriguing and exciting nevertheless. Rather shocking, too. :)
Woah it's surprising how it took too long to be published in the UK. Tell me how it turns out okay.. I wanna know what you think.
I really liked this book. It had a very cool Hitchcock feel to it. Hope you enjoy it.
Actually I didn't really like this one much. It was okay, but not as great as I had expected. Though, I may have liked it more if it had been a paperback. I like the layout of this version of the cover.
