The concept of this book was really interesting (it was why I wanted to read it) but the story itself was just... Not that great. I couldn't really get into the story, or care for the main character. For most of the book, Sabrina is always thinking about writing her story for the newspaper even though she researches about missing girls. I know she's only 14 but a case of missing girls should be more important than the story it can be written about it after.
And the whole thing doesn't really make sense. I mean, how wasn't the police investigating more? Even when Sabrina talked with her uncle, a cop, it just "oh well, thank you for telling me, nothing I can do about it". And when the menace around her gets very real, she doesn't tell anybody?? I didn't understand her. At all.
The end felt rushed and it was kind of disappointing.
But the thing I really liked in this book was Sabrina's relationship with her mom and sister. They're not the closest ever, but they're loving, and it shows.
