Thrice Interview: BLIND SPOT

Hi! Today we’re celebrating the release of BLIND SPOT by Laura Ellen.

In this debut teen thriller, Tricia Farni was last seen alive the night she fought with Roswell Hart–a night Roz can’t remember. Can Roz piece together the events of that night, despite the eye disease that robs her of most of her vision, in order to clear her name and find a murderer? 

I had a chance to read this early, and while I don’t want to give too much away because there’s a twisty-turny mystery here, I will say that Roz is an engagingly prickly narrator. She’s angry about the way she’s being treated and rightfully so – but I love the way she eventually becomes open to both new friendship and romance. Also, how pretty and intriguing is the cover?
