YA - Mystery / Thriller

Samantha is a stranger in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend, Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all - popularity, wealth, and a dream boyfriend.

Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it's one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took "mean girl" to a whole new level, and it's clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She's getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she's falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash.

But Cassie is still missing, and the truth about what happened to her that night isn't just buried deep inside of Sam's memory - someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive?

So Jennifer just posted on her blog a little more information about the books.
Here's what she said.

"I have something super exciting to share today! A little more information about my first ever Young Adult contemporary mystery/thriller that will be coming out with Disney Hyperion Fall of 2013.

All I've been able to say is that it's like Black Swan meet's Pretty Little Liars, so I'm really glad to give you guys a little more of a background on Don't Look Back. Writing a contemporary was something way, WAY out of my league. I'm so used to dealing with supernatural or paranormal creatures, that working within the real world with very real problems and issues was very different for me. I like to keep things diverse, so it was a lot of fun.

So let me introduce you to our main character!

Samantha's popular, rich, and dating one of the most sought after boys in school, and even though she's more frenemy with her best friend Cassie, she had it all… until the night she and Cassie disappeared and then Sammy resurfaced with no recollection of who she is or what happened.

Sammy's a stranger in her own life--a life where she took 'mean girl' to a whole new level. But now she gets a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, all around better person, and that includes falling in love. And you guys know me. I'm heavy on the romance! But something did happen to Cassie and everyone's a suspect: her family, friends, and even the boy she's falling for... and even our dear Sammy, because the old Samantha... well, she was capable of anything.


I can't wait to share more, but that's it for right now, I'm glad to let you guys see a little more of the story."

I'll post more as she posts it
