A secret lies hidden in the town of Jericho Falls, North Carolina. A naked teenage boy, locked in a cage for eight years.

Lauren, a fifteen year old girl who’s never been to school, never been anywhere, but dreams of traveling the world, discovers Jeremy by accident and befriends the wild boy. After learning that he’s actually incredibly smart, she plans to tame this wild boy. She brings him treats, she teaches him to read, all the while falling deeply in love with him.

But there are more secrets the mountains are hiding. Jeremy’s daddy is an evil, drunken man who locked his son away. His mama is a faith healer who’s known in the mountains as a bit of a witch.

As Lauren makes plans with Jeremy to free him of his cage and run away with him, she must also hide from his evil father, who seems to know that she’s been sneaking into his home and visiting his son.

But, as Jericho falls, Lauren soon learns more of the secrets the mountains are hiding.

A novella about a boy named Mick and his struggles with life. His parent’s divorce and a friend’s suicide make his world unbearable. Each “cut” has a deeper meaning. A cry for help.

“I spin my dad’s Ruger SP101 revolver on the wood floor of my bedroom. Sometimes, just to see what it feels like, I place the tip of the gun against my temple, but I never once pull the trigger. NO!”

“I’m more into the slice of the blade against my skin and the blood running down my arm.”

“It relieves so much pressure.”

“And I can breathe again…”

Webs
By Lily Stuart
Publisher: I. M. Books
Published: September 2014
ISBN: 978-0992996130
ASIN: B00MR86B2E
Genre: YA realistic fiction – crime – mystery
Formats Available For Review: Print (only available to qualified reviewers/bloggers in print), pdf, epub, mobi, kindle

Webs opens with teenager, LILY, facing a gun just before it is fired at her. The story then picks up with her attacker’s account of the events leading on from this and LILY’S diary recounting events leading up to it, starting three months earlier. The two narratives gradually converge.

Alongside her own life and problems – her best friend MELEZZ, and her unreliability, her arch-rival for heartthrob, MATT’S, attentions – JAS, and her bitchery, and school with its academic impossibilities and ridiculous characters, Lily’s irreverent teenager’s diary tells of her mother’s foray into the world of internet dating and how it leads LILY to uncover a murderer. Told in turn by LILY and the anonymous murderer – her attacker from the opening scene, their combined story examines different perceptions of love, obsession and relationships, and between them they tell the story of The Russian roulette murder.

Webs is the first in the Lily Stuart teen detective series.
