I was more or less impressed by this author’s previous novel, In a Perfect World, but I am all about giving authors second chances – especially when the premise is intriguing and the cover eye-catching. I had the chance to flip through this one a little yesterday and I felt I could maybe enjoy it, so there it goes on my wishlist! 🙂

The Raising by Laura Kasischke

Summary from Goodreads :

Last year Godwin Honors Hall was draped in black. The university was mourning the loss of one of its own: Nicole Werner, a blond, beautiful, straight-A sorority sister tragically killed in a car accident that left her boyfriend, who was driving, remarkably—some say suspiciously—unscathed.

Although a year has passed, as winter begins and the nights darken, obsession with Nicole and her death reignites: She was so pretty. So sweet-tempered. So innocent. Too young to die.

Unless she didn’t.

Because rumor has it that she’s back
