Pretty Wanted (Pretty Crooked #3)
Author: Elisa Ludwig
Genre: YA Contemporary
Release Date: March 17, 2015
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Description:
Willa’s string of good-hearted but ill-conceived thefts
at her former high school catapulted her into a life she hardly knows. She
became a cult hero, but soon afterward, her mom disappeared, leaving only a
cryptic message. When Willa hit the California highway to find her, she
discovered a dark family secret: Joanne Fox is not who she says she is-and
neither is Willa. Now, Willa and fellow trouble-maker Aidan must race to St.
Louis, Missouri, Willa’s birthplace. There, they hope to find answers about
Willa’s past. But uncovering the truth requires solving a decades-old murder
case.
Unfortunately, the perps are
still out there . . . and willing to do whatever it takes to keep the case
cold. With Willa’s face on the nightly news and the police hot on her trail, it
might not matter that Aidan and her friend Tre are there to help. Willa’s only
hope is to find the truth before it finds her first.
