Nine Lives by Wendy Corsi Staub
3.0
I liked the concept behind this book, but it could have used some editing.
She's alone and scared in a new world and a new phase of her life. I understand, and appreciate that. However, I felt like her paranoia was constantly at odds with comfort with the area. Personally, if I were afraid of a murderer running loose in my town, my child would be glued to my side or within sight. However, Bella seems to be more trusting of the area than she wants to believe. It was frustrating to read Bella's constant back and forth, "I feel safe"/"It's not safe!" and "Could Spirit be real?"/"No, no I'm far too intelligent and logical to believe that."
A mostly enjoyable mystery, just with slightly obnoxious characters.
