I love a good mystery, a book that keeps me in suspense and guessing about what is going to happen. Unfortunately I couldn't connect with this one. The characters, while I know I was supposed to empathize with the babysitter Amy, I didn't find engaging. I found myself wanting to finish this book quickly so I could move on to another.
Amy is anxious. That is literally it to her - all you need to know. She and her boyfriend have issues. Her boyfriends family has issues. Amy isn't like other girls, she is obsessed with old slasher films - she sees what others don't. Do you get the picture I'm painting? I just couldn't get into it.
The 2 kids were more entertaining, but I still found them boring. Mira was the older sister who was moody but could be nice to her younger brother. She acted older than she was. Ben was the young little puppy dog kind of little brother, with a weird affection for Amy. They had their moments though, when Mira stood up to their deadbeat dad and hit the bad girl with a bat. I was impressed.
But, like I said in the beginning, this book unfortunately didn't do it for me. I have read other thrillers that have kept me nervous while reading.
