This was a pretty decent YA thriller. The character arcs were done well and they all ended in a different place than they began. The mystery was intriguing and had me second-guessing myself every couple of chapters. The multiple POVs were handled well, in my opinion. This is not a book where I felt that two main characters becoming romantically involved necessary, and at times I was annoyed by that relationship. I enjoyed Addy and Cooper most.
