(By Kara Thomas)
A spooky book that I read during the nighttime, thus probably spooking me out more. With plot twists, sketchy characters, and a very unsettling setting, A compelling novel that takes on the story of a murderer and the girls who put him behind bars. The more you read, the more you are pulled into the story, where anyone can be the killer. Anyone.
The ending is more twisted than you can imagine, taking twists to another level. Although the book is a bit slow at first, the suspense keeps mounting as you read. The relationship between Tessa and Callie is very well represented, it's dynamic and you can see the subtle references and hints of how the incident changed them and their relationship. The book is overall pretty dark, but I liked it because it was so intense. The story was very intricate, with even the smallest details being connected to each other and to the characters, and also quite unpredictable, unlike some mysteries.This is a book that one would definitely not like if they weren't into this genre, but for me it was great.
I think I liked this book even more because there aren't a lot of YA psychological thrillers/mysteries (which is a genre I like very much). The book met my expectations (almost exceeding) because I guess I was a bit disappointed by the last thriller I had read. One of the more notable things was that there was no romantic element to the book, which I really liked because I don't really like romantic books or books that have a lot of romance. It tends to take away too much time from the crimes, and the thrilling plot.
