I liked the setup and I enjoyed the intrigue that was building up throughout the beginning and middle. Once we find out the "twist" or the actual climax, it lost a little bit for me because it's been done before. This book did it in a way I appreciated, however, it felt a little stale. I was hoping for something a little different. Not a bad YA thriller! If you like tense mother-daughter relationships or creepy mansions, this would be a fun one.
