Summary

I'll begin with Lucy. She is definitely first on the list. You can't believe how it feels to be in the cafeteria and turn around and there she is staring at me like I'm some disgusting bug or vermin. Does she really think I WANT to be this way? I hate you, Lucy. I really hate you. You are my #1 pick. I wish you were dead.

The day after anonymous blogger Str-S-d wishes the popular girl would die, Lucy vanishes. The students of Soundview High are scared and worried. Especially frightened and wracked with guilt is Madison Archer, Lucy's friend and the last person to see her the night she disappeared. As days pass with no sign of the missing girl, even the attention of Tyler, an attractive new student, is not enough to distract Madison from her growing sense of foreboding. When two more popular students disappear after their names are mentioned on Str-S-ds blog, the residents of Soundview panic.

,p>Meanwhile, Madison receives anonymous notes warning that she could be next. Desperate to solve the mystery before anyone else disappears, Madison turns to Tyler, but can she trust him when it becomes clear that he knows more than he's sharing? The clock is ticking. Madison must uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearances before her name appears in Str-S-ds blog.

In the spirit of stories like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Todd Strasser updates the teen thriller for the techno age with Wish You Were Dead, the first installment in a new thrill-ogy.

7/10

I certainly enjoyed this audiobook. The book itself is extremly well written, holds quite an original plot and gives the listener an insightful glance into true teenage life. The tension at times is built up very effectivly and can have you gripping tightly to the edge of whatever you're sitting on. However the narrators voice i couldn't help but find a little irritating at times dispite having nothing against Americans! It could just be me having grown up for years to the sound of Stephen Fry's Deep, British voice and my ears are reluctant to change to Emily Bauer's more light and girlish tones. I would recomend this book to any 12-18 year old who's looking for a long thrilling if rather irritatingly narrated story to pass the time.

Hope you found my reveiw helpful!
