The thing I love about Jennifer McMahon's books is that they scare the crap out of me. LOL. I'm not really a person who likes scary things. I skip the scary and gruesome movies, avoid horror books and generally stay away from anything that is going to keep me up at night. I like Jennifer's books because they scare me just enough that I'm freaked out a bit, but not so much that I can't fall asleep.
This is the second book of this author's I've read. I really enjoy her writing and I'll probably pick up the rest of her books. While the storyline in this one could be called generic and overdone, I think that Jennifer writes it in a way that makes it new and fresh. Her attention to detail and her knack for throwing in little twists here and there really can keep you guessing until the end.
What I particularly enjoyed about this book was that I thought I had it figured out about halfway through...but then I didn't. And then I thought I did again a few chapters later....but I didn't. It actually turned out that I did have it figured out, but there were enough little dead end clues to keep me second guessing myself. It was very entertaining.

I never really cared about the characters and a lot of the plot seemed contrived. I was expecting better.

his book was in a word . . haunting. It was a whodunnit, but it was unlike anything I had ever read before. I never thought a book could give me the chills. I loved it.
