Very interesting idea for a tory but poorly executed. It was fast paced so that kept me reading, but there were a lot of things that just didn’t make sense. Almost contradictory to the characters and story. Ending was really disappointing.

The endings of Natasha Preston’s books is the only thing I don’t like.

A good middle-grade or YA horror/mystery. Reminded me a lot of being a teen and devouring Fear Street books. But plot holes big enough to drive a boat through, and the last page brought the whole thing down a hald star. It was fine but I don’t think I’ll read any other of her books.

It was entertaining for a little bit but started to get boring towards 50%. And the story was already  ridiculous and extremely unrealistic to the point where you're like "yeah this would never happen." Plus I didn't really care for any of the characters.
