I ADORE Kiersten White's writing in this one. I love how she builds up suspense and fear without giving too much - that is until she gave too much in the end, which was a shame. I really liked the parts where it is insinuated that something isn't right; that something bad happened, but it's described in ways that still leaves something to the imagination, which makes it scarier. The characters were two dimensional but had enough substance in that slasher film kind of way. Substance enough to make me interested, but flat enough that they were type cast.
The flow of the book is smooth and fast. I think it had a good balance of giving us character stories and backgrounds without sacrificing the pace of the horror elements.
