The June Boys by Courtney C Stevens is a YA thriller that has such a fantastic concept and I can’t wait to read it. This synopsis sends shivers up my spine. I really love a great thriller and this one sets up an intriguing plot. I look forward to finding out what really happened to these boys.

The Gemini Thief could be anyone. Your father, your mother, your best friend’s crazy uncle. Some country music star’s deranged sister. Anyone.
The Gemini Thief is a serial kidnapper, who takes three boys and holds them captive from June 1st to June 30th of the following year. The June Boys endure thirteen months of being stolen, hidden, observed, and fed before they are released, unharmed, by their masked captor. The Thief is a pro, having eluded authorities for nearly a decade and taken at least twelve boys.
Now Thea Delacroix has reason to believe the Gemini Thief took a thirteenth victim: her cousin, Aulus McClaghen.
But the game changes when one of the kidnapped boys turns up dead. Together with her boyfriend Nick and her best friends, Thea is determined to find the Gemini Thief and the remaining boys before it’s too late. Only she’s beginning to wonder something sinister, something repulsive, something unbelievable, and yet, not impossible:
What if her father is the Gemini Thief?

Whoaaa! This sounds super intriguing and I gotta get my hands on it. I just requested it on Edelweis but I’ll probably not get it. Still… *fingers crossed*

Yay!! I hope that we both love it. 🙂
I had no idea Stevens had a new book coming out. I am not sure if this is a great fit for me, but I adored all her other books, and will probably give it a look anyhow.
It seems like a different genre than her usual contemporaries. Shall be interesting! 🙂
This does sound like a great thriller, and that premise is pretty freaky!
It sure is! 🙂
New author for me. This sounds amazing. Adding it to my list right now.
