The Creeping
by Alexandra Sirowy
DID NOT FINISH
This book contains two major plot arcs, which seem to be equally important as far as the main character, Stella, is concerned.
1) Whoever murdered her childhood best friend is back, killing again, and Stella's probably next on the list.
2) So, like, she's dating this hot guy she doesn't like much because he's dumb, but he's super hot, and her bestie insists that she has to date a hottie because popular girls date hot jocks. But her ex from her tween years is so dreamy, and her tummy gets all fluttery when he's nearby! Will her bestie forgive her for dating an unpopular guy? zOMG, the pressure!
Not only is Plot 2 dumb, and predicating on the utterly abusive relationship Stella has with her best friend (that's totally ok, because really, her friend only insults her and controls every aspect of her life because she cares so deeply!), but it causes Stella The Straight-A Student to do some spectacularly stupid things. Like ditch the cops who are making sure she doesn't get murdered to go hang out with her Dreamboy in the woods where people get murdered. Because boys!
The mood whiplash caused by snapping back and forth between the dead-kids-and-Stella-is-next plot and the OMG-he's-so-dreamy plot defuses any tension the first manages to build, over and over until i just wanted to reach into the pages of this book and slap Stella until she stopped being a suicidal idiot.
