Critic reviews

"A brilliant, engaging, scary piece of fiction. Every word had me sliding closer to the edge of my seat and gripping the cover tighter and tighter. There are books in the world that make you question your reality and the things that go bump in the night--this is one of them." (Heather Brewer, New York Times best-selling author of The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod)
" Cryer's Cross is an eerie, gripping, totally addictive, breathtaking whirl of a book with an ending that left me haunted for days. Lisa McMann has done it again--this book is unputdownable!" (Alyson Noel, #1 New York Times best-selling Author of The Immortals series)

more voice actors

The story was good but it could have used more actors for the different voices

Good mystery, but quite simple

I loved the Dreamcatcher series by Lisa McMann and that’s why I decided to buy “Cryer’s Cross”. This book, however, is quite different: it tells the story of Kandell, a teenager who has OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and lives in a small town called Cryer’s Cross. She has a boyfriend, Nico, a boy who knows since she was little, but she doesn’t like to call him that because it seems to mean some kind of obligation. Everything changes when Nico disappears. He is the second teenager disappeared in Cryer’s Cross this year, and people are afraid. At the same time, Kandell knows better Jacian, a newcomer…

If you had read any other McMann’s books, you’ll know she has a simple narration, with short descriptions that let everything to reader’s imagination. I like her writing, but my problem with her this time is the plot: I found it too simple. It has some mystery and I like the way she captures OCD’s influence in daily life; however, I think she could have chosen a better ending. I had a good time with the listening (if I can call a “good time” a mystery-horror story), but it’s easy to forget. I still prefer the Dreamcatcher trilogy.

Finally, the narrator does a good job and she really scared me with “We” fragments.

An Expected Thriller

The anticipation reading this book was definitely worth it. Although, there is no twist in the end. To me, the "twist" that people have mentioned prior was expected as I continued to read the book. A good, quick young adult thriller read for the masses. Anyone interested in a mystery, ghosts, evil spirits would be interested in this read.
