Lindsay Cummings is quickly climbing the stairs of fame. No.. correction. She's taking the elevator there. Her book, The Murder Complex, is now a well-known dystopian that I'm sure all YA readers will love. That's coming from me, a person who's already read it (and loved it). Check the review here! The plot was riveting and the characters were swoon worthy! I just hope (I wish, I beg) that I can make it to the bookstore on the way home from school to pick up this book. I recall seeing Lindsay Cummings at the CBC BookRave signing, and she kind of signed my book. SO that was a fabulous fangirl moment for me.
To support Lindsay, go out now and buy her new book before they're all gone from the shelves. They're going to go quick! I read The Murder Complex, and I loved it. There is not doubt in my mind that I'll enjoy this book just the same, or even better!
What are you waiting for? Are you really gonna miss out on all the action and adventure with Albert?
Oh I am SO excited to get my hands on this book! I actually featured it as my WoW pick a few weeks back :D I haven't read anything by that author yet, but this one sounds like the perfect place to start! I hope we can both get our hands on this one soon!!
