Interesting premise, this book is set up as sort of a Pretty Little Liars/I know what you did last summer mash up, but poorly executed
Pros: The first half of the book is pretty decent, with a nice number of secrets to discover and the mystery is well laid out. There are some surprising twists.
Cons: The plotting in the last quarter of the book is weak. The motive of the killer is pretty lame in comparison to some of the other potential motives. There aren't enough clues (like any) that would allow the reader to figure it out along with the characters. Which may explain why the detective in the story is such a witch. Seriously unprofessional behavior from that guy. Also, the editing is SO sloppy. Names are wrong in places, sentence structure and grammar are horrid, misspellings are many, and main facts are wrong (the main character's age isn't even consistent). Beyond all that, the ending was just awful. Really, really awful. It reveals the true murderer, but nothing else. m
There is only one way for you to save yourself from this horrible book, run.
