Break My Heart 1,000 Times<\/i> <\/a>by Daniel Waters
\nHyperion 2012
\nISBN: 978-1-4231-2198-5
\nAvailable: Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle<\/p>\n

The sight of ghosts has become commonplace to Veronica and her friends since the “Event”. Ghosts are everywhere–walking about in classrooms, standing on street corners, going to the mailbox, and even reading books in the local library. Veronica also sees the ghost of her father sitting at the table reading the newspaper every morning, while the ghost of a teenage boy named Brian hangs out in her bathroom. These days though, it seems the ghosts are gaining power.<\/p>\n

It’s not long before Veronica realizes maybe it’s not the ghosts she should be quick to step around, but the living instead, as Mr. Bittner, one of her teachers at Montcreif High, begins to stalk her in the creepiest of ways, like popping up at the coffee shop when she stops in for a quick cup of tea, and staring at her a little too long in class. Why is he following her?\u00a0 What does he want?\u00a0 And why does the ghost of Mary Greer appear on his front steps every morning?<\/p>\n

Fans of author Daniel Waters, who also wrote the Generation Dead<\/i> series, will likely sink their teeth into this stand-alone supernatural story filled with paranormal suspense, ghostly chills and fast-paced action.<\/p>\n

Recommended: YA Ages 12 to 18<\/p>\n

Contains: Minor Violence<\/p>\n
