I love JLA, but wow… this was not great

The romance between Jensen and Ella was strong, but the whole mystery plot was unintriguing and predictable. The climax was rushed and not overly well written.

This is a heartbreaking story with a very shocking plot. There is love, a lot of murder, and a highschool lovestory. It is crazy but amazingly written! You learn more and more about the characters during the story and u just need to know what happens next.

3 reasons why I hated this book:

1. The boring, insta-lovey, underdeveloped romance.

2. The fact that as soon as Deputy Shaw was introduced, I knew he was the killer, and I also predicted Gavin's hand in it.

3. How unbelievably FUCKING LUCKY Ella is. It's complete bullshit. The girl takes a self-defense class-- one in which she spends more time getting horny than learning-- for a damn month or two and manages to singlehandedly fight off both murders. They killed fucking four or five other people and scrawny pathetic Ella is the one who someone managed to off them. Seriously?!
Not only is this fucking ANNOYING AS HELL, but completely, completely farfetched.

How dare this be as good as it was. Thrillers with romance are my kryptonite.

Free book of JLA's available to read on Wattpad. Love JLA!

Well, that was fun! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It's a mystery and a romance book with a few twists I didn't exactly see coming. It's not in print at this point, but you can read it on Wattpad.
