If you’re looking for an easy read and a little intro to YA thriller, definitely give this one a try! Overall, this is a quick, creepy, mystery with such a good ending that I think it’s worth it. Honestly, that’s about all I can say without spoiling things. I NEED MORE ( but totally understand why it ended when it did … just my curiosity!). That’s what made the book for me – without that great twist at the end, it would have been disappointing.
