Story4.5 out of 5 stars 552
Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn't feel bad about it. Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best - the language of violence. While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can't be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna's body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.

Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.

His older brother, Bosten, is always there to defend Stick. But the boys can’t defend each other from their abusive parents. When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,811
Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets; well-tended lawns; and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths.

Alice Garrett was "the girl most likely to"...well, not date her little brother’s baggage-burdened best friend, for starters. For Tim, it wouldn’t be smart to fall for Alice. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if the “smart” choice is always the right one. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard.

Publisher's summary
Fifteen-year-old Lynn Marie Sugrue is doing her best to make it through a difficult summer. Her mother works long hours as a nurse, and Lynn suspects that her mother's pill-popping boyfriend has enlisted her in his petty criminal enterprises. Lynn finds refuge in online flirtations, eventually meeting up with a troubled young soldier, Logan Loy, and inviting him home.
When he's forced to stay over in a storage space accessible through her closet, and the Army subsequently lists him as AWOL, she realizes that he's the one thing in her life that she can control. Meanwhile, her mother's boyfriend is on the receiving end of a series of increasingly violent threats, which places Lynn squarely in the cross-hairs.

Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

Panic is a legendary game played by graduating seniors in the middle-of-nowhere town of Carp, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher: After a series of challenges ranging from sleeping in a haunted house to running across a highway blindfolded, one winner takes home a cash prize in the tens of thousands at the end of the summer. Participating players are sworn to secrecy, which means little is known of Panic’s history. Until now.

Fourteen-year-old Stark McClellan (nicknamed Stick because he’s tall and thin) is bullied for being "deformed" - he was born with only one ear. His older brother, Bosten, is always there to defend Stick. But the boys can’t defend each other from their abusive parents. When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again. In his search, he will encounter good people, bad people, and people who are simply indifferent to kids from the wrong side of the tracks. But he never loses hope of finding love - and his brother.

Sprout Bradford has a secret. It's not what you think he'll tell you he's gay. He'll tell you about his dads drinking and his mother's death. The green fingerprints everywhere tell you when he last dyed his hair. But neither the reader nor Sprout are prepared for what happens when Sprout suddenly finds he's had a more profound effect on the lives around him than he ever thought possible. Sprout is both hilarious and gripping; a story of one boy at odds with the expected.

PRETTY DARN GOOD
I ALWAYS HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING GOOD FICTION BOOKS AND I DIDN’T KNOW
IF THIS WAS ONE I WOULD WANT TO GET INTO. BASED ON THE REVIEWS I READ
ON GOOREADS AND THE PUBLISHERS SUMMARY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS
GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE HORROR STORIES PARENTS HAVE NIGHTMARES
ABOUT.ITS ABOUT A 15-YEAR OLD GIRL THAT MEET A 25-YEAR OLD SOLDIER IN A
CHAT ROOM. NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY MEET; SHE HIDES HIM IN HER ATIC, HE
GOES AWOL AND THE WHOLE TIME THEY’RE TOGETHER YOU THINK ABOUT HIS
MENTAL STABILITY. SOME HOW THE LITTLE GIRL STARTS TO KEEP HIM AGAINST
HIS WILL. WHILE ALL THAT IS GOING ON THE MOM IS DATING A PRETTY SHADY
GUY THAT IS INVOLVED WITH DRUG DEALERS. AND TO MY SURPRISE THE WHOLE
SITUATION WASN’T AS BAD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I EXPECTED WORSE.
DAVID ZIMMERMAN DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS BOOK. THE STORY FLOWS
FROM CHAPTER TO CHAPTER WITH EASE. THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING AND
THE ONLY DOWN FALL I HAD WITH THIS BOOK IS THE NARRATOR. I PERSONALLY
FEEL SHE COULD HAVE READ FASTER BUT AT WAS AN EASY FIX. I GIVE THIS
BOOK 5 stars. AND I WILL BE LISTENING TO IT AGAIN.

This book was a nice surprise!
I was expecting Caring is Creepy to be rather lightweight. Ok... it's not heavyweight, but it was certainly a nice surprise.
Well written, good characters and a story that kept you glued to the book... or rather the earphones.
There were a few inconsistencies, but not enough to seriously detract.
Also, I loved the narration. Took me a little bit to get into her rendering, but she really brought the characters to life and I loved how she differentiated so well between them.

Good story, would like more insight into narrator.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Probably. I think it's an interesting book. There are some really intriguing and exciting parts...it's a worthwhile read.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would have liked a little more insight into the narrators reasons for what she did. I found the two sides of her personality - the public and the private -- to be too far from one another, and i couldn't understand her reasons for what she did with Logan.
What does Amanda Dolan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed Amanda Dolan's narration. She did a really good job of embodying all the characters.
Was Caring Is Creepy worth the listening time?
Yes, definitely. I think I would describe it more as a Young Adult novel...so I would caution listeners/readers to go into the book with that in mind. There is a little bit of savvy missing in the writing, and I think with all the new novels out now with this type of story (Gone Girl, Dare Me), I have a little higher expectation.
That being said, the graphic parts of this novel are very graphic...and they definitely won't forget them anytime soon.
