"Dark academia meets teen slasher [with] a series of gruesome deaths written by a nurse-turned-author. Have You Seen Me? has all the hair-raising suspense of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer with the dark secrets of Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and the twisty crimes of Sager's Home Before Dark. This is a slasher worth dying for." ~Suspense Magazine   Lindsey Gillett is missing.   And she's not the first girl at Waverly Prep to vanish without a trace.   To help cope with the tragedy, new history teacher Aubrey LaRoux organizes a small student investigation team. But when the members start turning up dead across campus, Aubrey suspects there's more going on than anyone is willing to admit.   The murdered students all had something in common with Lindsey. They shared a secret. And what they uncovered could threaten the future of the historic school.   At Waverly Prep, someone wants to keep the past buried—along with anyone who gets in their way.   ____________________________________________________________________________________  "An intriguing and atmospheric tale of murder and mayhem that will keep readers wondering what could possibly happen next." ~Booklist "Alexandrea Weis's novels are destined to stand along with authors such as Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and Jeffrey Deaver." ~The Strand Magazine   "A deliciously disturbing whodunnit. Weis is fast becoming the new queen of the Southern murder mystery." ~Best Thrillers   "Reminiscent of Lois Duncan, avid readers of suspense will find a thrill in Have You Seen Me?

Reviews

"Riveting, fast paced thriller wrapped up in a mystery. Is history repeating itself or is it a coincidence? Alexandrea Weis slowly peels away layer after layer to reveal the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it even if you don't usually read thrillers." —Erin E. Forys, Barnes and Noble, Williamsburg, VA

"Weis addresses cultural issues such as class systems, race, and bullying all the while providing chilling and spooky imagery that is sure to have all readers begging the question: "Who will be next?" A thrilling spine-tingling novel, Have You Seen Me? had my heart racing on every page." —Tanya Roberts, CER at Indigo Books, Québec Canada  

"With atmosphere, mercurial threats, and intrigue, Weis excels in probing the psychological undertones of a prep school and a new teacher's return to her past. She also does a fine job of evolving the plot that connects students and teachers to an unpredictable truth. As school and local history are revealed by the determined team, readers receive an eerie feel of inevitable disaster much in the manner of the classic film 'Picnic at Hanging Rock'. The buildup that leads to the truth about the killer's identity makes for a fine story that will reach from young adult to adult audiences with a winning exploration of prep school pressures, politics, and the special interests that lead to murder. Very nicely done." —Midwest Book Review  

"A fast-paced thriller that will engage readers with great characters and a chilling mystery! I was sucked in and fully invested in finding the killer!!" —Gretchen Hall, Barnes and Noble, Houston, TX  

".… the type of cautionary tale that keeps you alive by reminding you that sometimes the biggest horrors aren't the monsters hiding under the bed but the ones hiding in plain sight." —The Nerd Daily    

"... the drama of Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars mixed with American Psycho." —The Book Curmudgeon    

"... a chilling horror tale, not for the squeamish ... darkly, painfully engaging." —IndieReader    

"... gripping mystery. Death by the River sends a reminder not only of Ted Bundy, but also the reality that psychopaths still exist." —Feathered Quill Book Award Judges
