Lyla is caught between two worlds. The isolated Community that she grew up in and the outside world that she’s navigating for the very first time. The outsiders call the Community a cult, but Pioneer miraculously survived a shooting that should have killed him. Are the faithful members right to stay true to his message? Is this just a test of faith? One thing is for sure: the Community will do anything to bring Lyla back to the fold. Trapped in a spider’s web of deception, will Lyla detect the sticky threads tightening around her before it’s too late? She’ll have to unravel the mystery of what Pioneer and the Community are truly up to if she wants to survive.

Suspenseful and chilling, Astray is Amy Christine Parker’s nerve-fraying sequel to Gated. This fast-paced psychological thriller is masterfully plotted and sure to leave goose bumps. Perfect for fans of creepy YA thrillers and contemporary fiction alike.

What are you waiting on?

This sounds intriguing! I have Gated on my Kindle, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Thanks for sharing :) Here's my WOW at Shut Up & Read!
It's the sequel to Gated, right? It reminds of that Katie Brian's Shadowland series (I think that's what it's called, can't remember) but it looks like them. Gorgeous cover though! :)

I enjoyed Gated, but it ended in a pretty good place, if I'm remembering correctly. Although I do remember wondering how things were going to work out in the future. So many series to read!!! I'm sure I'll be reading this one…great pick!

Ooh, this looks awesome, although I didn't realise until the end that it was a sequel. Oops. I totally need to read Gated and I've been wanting to anyway! LOVE that cover, as well. XD
