Shift by Em Bailey

Genre - Paranormal

"Olive Corbett is definitely not crazy. Not anymore. These days she takes her best friend Ami, and stays the hell away from the toxic girls she used to be friends with.

She doesn’t need a boyfriend. Especially not a lifesaver-type with a nice smile. And she doesn’t need the drama of that creepy new girl Miranda, who has somehow latched on to Olive's ex-best friend.

Yet from a distance, Olive can see there's something sinister about the new friendship. Something almost … parasitic. Maybe the wild rumours are true. Maybe Miranda is a Killer.

But who would believe Olive? She does have a habit of letting her imagination run away with her …."

A tightly plotted thriller, Shift is one of those books you can't put down, and will leave you pondering well after the last page is finished!

If you need further proof it is worth reading - It just won the Gold Inky in The State Library's Inky Awards, which are "international awards for teen literature, voted for online by the readers of insideadog.com.au, and named after the site's wonder-dog, Inky" (Inside a dog 2012, http://www.insideadog.com.au/page/inkys).
