Blurb: Mallory's life is falling apart.
Her boyfriend was
stabbed. He bled to death in her kitchen. Mallory was the one who stabbed him.
But she can't remember what happened that night. She only remembers the fear...
When Mallory's
parents send her away to a boarding school, she thinks she can escape the
gossip and the threats. But someone, or something, has followed her. There's
the hand that touches her shoulder when she's drifting off to sleep. A voice
whispering her name. And everyone knows what happened. So when a pupil is found
dead, Mallory's name is on their lips.
Her past can be
forgotten but it's never gone. Can Mallory live with that?
Hysteria
is the story of Mallory dealing with the consequences of what happened to her
boyfriend as well as moving to a new boarding school. She is forced to move to
her father’s old boarding school because her boyfriend’s mother keeps
terrorising her. Every night she has nightmares of the choice she made and slowly
she remembers the night her boyfriend died.
Things
get worse when she moves to the boarding school; everybody pre judging her;
bruises appearing on her body and her never feeling safe when she is alone. She
also meets the love interest who she used to know back before she killed her
boyfriend.
Spoiler Alert
There’s
also another story mixed in with Mallory’s in which a popular boy is murdered
and the blame is put on Mallory. The boy is a jackass who physically abuses
people and his sister murders him with the help of his ex girlfriend and
current girlfriend. The three girls work together and frame Mallory; they also
try to dispose of Mallory’s friend by dumping her in a ditch (?) after hitting
her with a brick.
The person who’s been stalking her and
breaking into her room is revealed to be her boyfriend’s brother and her ex
friend. Dylan also was with Mallory on the day she killed her boyfriend, Brian.
Dylan was the reason that Brian attacked Mallory forcing her to choose her life
over Brian’s. The entire mystery/suspense that has been built up only to be
revealed that that it was also Dylan’s fault was so pointless. You’re waiting for
the big reveal only to find that Dylan just ran away scared.
