Mallory killed her boyfriend, Brian. She can't remember the details of that night but everyone knows it was self-defense, so she isn't charged. But Mallory still feels Brian's presence in her life. Is it all in her head? Or is it something more? In desperate need of a fresh start, Mallory is sent to Monroe, a fancy prep school where no one knows her . . . or anything about her past.But the feeling follows her, as do her secrets. Then, one of her new classmates turns up dead. As suspicion falls on Mallory, she must find a way to remember the details of both deadly nights so she can prove her innocence-to herself and others. 

In another riveting tale of life and death, Megan Miranda's masterful storytelling brings readers along for a ride to the edge of sanity and back again




Hi Megan! Welcome to Mundie Moms! I'm looking forward to reading Hysteria. Which did you have the most fun creating, the  story's suspense,  the characters or the settings?
Thanks so much for having me on your blog! I had the most fun creating the characters, which is always my favorite aspect of writing. More specifically, creating the relationships between them—and how their lives have woven together (or, if they’re meeting for the first time, how these chance encounters affect their futures).


How would you classify Hysteria, as a psychological thriller or realistic fiction?
Full disclosure: I’m horrible at classifying books, especially when I write them! But my gut instinct would be to classify it primarily as a psychological thriller. I think that’s the feeling that dominates, in this case.


What is one thing you came to admire about your character Mallory?
That even though she’s had horrible things happen to her (and has been involved in them as well), she doesn’t let that ruin her faith in other people. She still sees the good. Maybe not in herself, but she wants to see it in others.


What is one book you've read as an adult that you wish you had read as a teen?
Looking for Alaska. It’s probably my favorite YA book that I’ve read as an adult (if I had to pick). I went to a boarding school (though I lived close enough to commute from home), and so much of that book resonated with me, even now. But I think it would’ve had even more of an impact back then.


What are some of your writing must haves?
Silence is my biggest must-have. I’m easily distracted by any noise, and sometimes have to break out the white-noise machine. I’m also highly dependent on caffeine.


Thank you Megan for stopping by and joining us today!
