Scream Site by Justina Ireland

2.0

I found Scream Site to be very lackluster. In the synopsis, it tells you Sabrina's sister gets kidnapped, but that doesn't happen until the story is almost finished. So that automatically makes it a spoiler. Faith didn't even go missing until after 200 pages. That's at like 80%. There is nothing more annoying in a mystery/thriller when the synopsis says this person goes missing or is kidnapped, and that doesn't even happen until you are almost done.
Don't even get me started on the resolution. I want to say I skimmed at least 50% of it because, at this point, I'm over the entire story. The person who was behind everything was so predictable. The book tried to push you towards another character, and from the jump, you know it isn't them.

Spoiler

There is only one factor in common with every element, and that is Funland. That leaves the owner. I was so sure because halfway through, there was no mention of him.

I've been told I have an analytical mind, so I could've come across this conclusion more than others might have. But I feel if you read a lot of YA thrillers, then you'll be able to figure it out yourself.
I feel like the book tried to introduce topics of grieving a father and building a stronger relationship with a sibling, but those weren't fulfilled at all. The book would be stronger if it had more time to develop those themes.
I decided to give this book a two-star because I was just left with feelings of disappointment rather than hatred over the things happening.
