"An instant page-turner" (Lisa Gardner) that straddles the line between thriller and horror..."sure to appeal to a wide range of readers, including Stephen King fans" (Booklist, starred review). A young woman's mysterious gift forces her into the middle of a dangerous investigation of a little girl's disappearance.
Twenty-year-old Finley Montgomery is rarely alone. Visited by people whom others can't see and haunted by prophetic dreams she has never been able to control or understand, Finley is terrified by the things that happen to her. When Finley's abilities start to become too strong for her to handle--and even the roar of her motorcycle or another dazzling tattoo can't drown out the voices--she turns to the only person she knows who can help her: her grandmother Eloise Montgomery, a renowned psychic living in The Hollows, New York.
Merri Gleason is a woman at the end of her tether after a ten-month-long search for her missing daughter, Abbey. With almost every hope exhausted, she resorts to hiring Jones Cooper, a detective who sometimes works with psychic Eloise Montgomery. Merri's not a believer, but she's just desperate enough to go down that road, praying that she's not too late. Time, she knows, is running out.
As a harsh white winter moves into The Hollows, Finley and Eloise are drawn into the investigation, which proves to have much more at stake than even the fate of a missing girl. As Finley digs deeper into the town and its endless layers, she is forced to examine the past, even as she tries to look into the future. Only one thing is clear: The Hollows gets what it wants, no matter what.

Praise for Crazy Love You:
"Sharply drawn characters and occasional rest breaks of humor . . .
Unger is adept at evoking the eerie, but she's also capable of
droll sociological commentary on the urban scene. . . . After
reading Unger's sinister thriller, anyone cavalier enough to think
they can easily put the past to rest (and even live companionably
with the dead) will think again." --Maureen Corrigan, The
Washington Post
Praise for In the Blood: "In the Blood is an absolute corker of a
thriller that cements Lisa Unger's status as one of the brightest
stars in the game." --Dennis Lehane
"Ink and Bone is like The Sixth Sense on steroids--a dark, dazzling
tale in which the light manages to shine through on things that
really do go bump in the night." --The Providence Journal "Lisa
Unger is building a sense of place for The Hollows that rivals
Stephen King's Castle Rock for continuity and creepiness." --The
News & Observer "I experienced something pleasantly heartbreaking
while reading Ink and Bone, Lisa Unger's latest mystery-thriller.
This horrific, fast-paced novel succeeded in drawing me in by
taking possession of my senses and controlling the emotions I
thought were mine. Literally... a true nail-biter." --Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette "Unger makes the spectral realistic because anything
can happen in The Hollows, and does. In her storytelling, the
supernatural jump starts a story about fragile families seeking
peace and fulfillment.... Without over violence, Unger delivers a
frighteningly real villain who is able to hide in plain sight. Ink
and Bone is a welcomed return to the haunting The Hollows." --Sun
Sentinel "A gut-wrenching tale of horror and mystery.... Strong
characters and stellar writing make this a wonderful mix of
small-town life with the supernatural." --Associated Press "Unger
builds the tension to high intensity.... Little by little, the
truth is revealed to Finley and to the reader--a dark side that
winds through the Hollows like the long-abandoned mines that snake
beneath its surface.... Ink and Bone takes the reader into dire
places, but into the light as well. And Finley? My psychic vibes
predict she'll be back." --Tampa Bay Times "Those voices appear on
the page, and without much prompting become the interesting,
dimensional characters that make her books so thrilling."
--Sarasota Herald-Tribune "For those who like intense psychological
mystery at its best. Unger provides." --The Florida Times-Union
"Lisa Unger has written the sort of novel that fans of Stephen King
and Peter Straub used to eagerly anticipate. Many of her previous
books have been dark, but this one is a full-fledged dive into the
deep end of the horror pool. The result is an effective and
unsettling supernatural tale that will leave you reeling."
--Bookreporter.com "Lisa Unger takes you to dark places then shows
you the light. The universe she has created in The Hollows--the
dead and the living, the haunted and the haunting, the lost and
missing--resonates so deeply, it's a world I want to go back to
again and again and am always a little heartbroken to leave. In Ink
and Bone, we return to The Hollows once more, and Unger weaves a
story that casts a captivating spell, and will leave you feeling
haunted long after you turn the last page." --Jennifer McMahon,
author of The Night Sister "Engrossing, atmospheric, and
fast-paced, for fans of dark and twisty psychological suspense,

ghosts aren't just in her past." --Lisa Gardner, New York Times
bestselling author of Find Her "This is as chilling a tale as any
the ingenious Lisa Unger has ever come up with. I've still got
shivers!" --Robert Masello, #1 Amazon bestselling author of The
Einstein Prophecy. "Engrossing. . . the tension is palpable. Unger
straddles the fine line between thriller and horror, making this a
very exciting and riveting read, sure to appeal to a wide range of
readers, including Kay Hooper or Stephen King fans." --Booklist

balanced story that's supernatural without a creepy aftertaste."

supernatural elements to remind us of Stephen King territory."

haunting, with a deadly twist that you won't see coming 'til you're

relationship that has taken a dark turn. It is a novel of
obsession, unrequited love, loneliness and the rage that comes from
not fitting in."--BookReporter
"A thrilling story that affects complicated and nuanced people. But
it's also a sensitive meditation on the very nature of family and
community and the ties that bind us to one another." --Laura
Lippman
"An extraordinary psychological thriller . . . Manages to do an
incredible amount of things, all of them well, including a truly
unique romantic triangle and the blurred lines between
unconditional friendship and romantic infatuation. . . . A
simmering tale of romantic obsession and angst in the tradition of
Body Heat or Fatal Attraction, laced with the noirish spirit of
James M. Cain. Wonderfully crafted and beautifully executed." --The
Providence Journal

story with great characters while also manipulating the reader. . .
. It's crazy good." --Associated Press

story entertaining." --Library Journal

full of endless surprises. I promise you're in for a wild ride."
--John Searles, author of Help for the Haunted and Strange But
True
"With Crazy Love You, Lisa Unger has outdone herself. I've been a
fan of hers for years but this is hands-down my favorite book she's
written. It has all the twists and turns we've come to expect from
her, along with a delightfully unreliable narrator, and a
psychological depth that is as poignant as it is shocking. People
like to exaggerate claims of reading a book in a single sitting. I
did--cover to cover without once rising from my chair. It's that
good." --Gregg Hurwitz, author of Don't Look Back
