2.0

The last 15% really kills this book. Until then, I was really enjoying myself, figuring it to be a 3, or 3.5 star read, but then I reached the conclusion and it quickly dipped to a 2 star because-

the characters do the dumbest shit, even knowing there's a killer out there, just to give the killer the chance to bump them off

There's only so long I can suspend my disbelief. Also the killer is exactly who you peg it is, almost very immediately in the book.
