It was slow to get into it, but it picked up a bit. Like some others have commented, there are a lot of different characters and it’s hard to keep up with who’s who. The ending wasn’t super predictable; it was also rather abrupt. I liked the different POVs, but the narrator change got challenging as well, trying to remember which supporting characters fit with each narrator. A lot of different story lines to follow, both in the past and present, but a lot of them wound up coming together.

This was a fast-paced thriller that kept me turning the pages, but I wouldn’t exactly call it memorable. The premise is strong -- teen girls attacked at a Blockbuster on New Year’s Eve -- and I liked the multiple POVs. But the plot got a little too twisty for its own good and by the end I wasn’t totally convinced all the threads tied together.
