This book was listed as a suspense and now I've finished I'm still waiting to find that suspense.
It was the most generic book I have ever come across with everything in the book having been done before elsewhere and much better. The author really wasted an opportunity with the long lost sister storyline and it never went they way it could have, which would have increased the rating for me.
I know this book is about teenagers but it felt very much like it was written by one also; this left me totally uninterested in any of the characters including any of the adults as none if them were in any way likeable whatsoever.
I did increase my rating however due to the last couple of chapters as they were very emotional and I can't even imagine what being in that situation would be like.
