Waiting on Wednesday #16

Stay by Deb Caletti

I've never really had the chance to fully enjoy a Deb Caletti novel as yet but there is something about them that keeps me coming back and hoping that her next release is worthy of a 4 or even 5 star rating. The cover and the summary of Stay seem to be complete opposites to me... a warm, summer day vs a vicious ex-boyfriend? Either way, I'll still be picking this up in 2011.

 Clara's relationship with Christian is intense from the start, and like nothing she's ever experienced before. But what starts as devotion quickly becomes obsession, and it's almost too late before Clara realizes how far gone Christian is--and what he's willing to do to make her stay. Now Clara has left the city-and Christian-behind. No one back home has any idea where she is, but she still struggles to shake off her fear. She knows Christian won't let her go that easily, and that no matter how far she runs, it may not be far enough....

Stay will be released April 19th 2011 by Simon Pulse.
