Author: Kara A. Kennedy
Rep: LGBQT+
Content Warning: emotional abuse, anxiety, on-page panic attacks, death of a parent (off-page, in the past)
This emotional debut thriller follows a teen girl being haunted by the ghost of her toxic ex-girlfriend, who gives her a chilling ultimatum—help her possess another girl or go down for her murder.
Maya has always belonged to Alana. After four years of dating, and on the precipice of graduating high school, Maya has been too terrified to consider the idea of life outside of their volatile relationship. Until she finds the courage to break up with Alana while they’re hiking in Southern California.
Then Alana goes missing. As the police get involved and the media run wild with the story, everyone seems to think that Maya is lying about Alana’s disappearance. Secretly, Maya knows that if Alana’s dead, she’s the one to blame.
But that’s not Maya’s only secret. Alana isn’t gone, not really—and she isn’t going to let Maya go so easily…
Most of us have had experience with a toxic ex. One that we just couldn’t get away from. I Will Never Leave You took that idea and twisted it into a pretzel, added a dash of horror, and a healthy dose of trauma. I’m so glad to be able to share my excitement by being apart of the TBR and Beyond Book Tour!
