I loved this book SO MUCH! I cried, I screamed, I squealed, and almost threw up. I also squeaked really loudly in the middle of the night when I read the part about

Ben Hooper's death

. I have suggested it to all of my friends, it was so good and I loved the twist at the end!!!

It's a good book if you like murder mysteries but if you can't do any/some violence this book is not for you. (I read the audiobook)

This was marketed as a ‘young adult’ thriller, but it felt just as readable for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers. 

I found this to be a very quick read, which was exactly what I was looking for. The story was full of suspense and perhaps I’m an idiot, but I didn’t see the twist at the end coming. I was shocked reading those 3 words from Drew. 

The only character I didn’t like was the Sheriff, I was disappointed he didn’t get a well deserved kick up the a**. I’ve probably watched too many True Crime documentaries with corrupt or negligent police. 

A good book for a reading slump but possibly the wrong book for any paranoid parents.
