Gay YA thriller/horror…count me in! I think there is a lot here that could have gone really badly. However, I love the way this was written. I was constantly changing who I thought the killer would be and actually guess incorrectly. Darn! I do with there was a little more depth to the reasoning and a better build-up to the reveal. I think a good reveal should have the reader get there right before the characters do. Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention, but it definitely had to be revealed to me. Overall, I really love this story and, with the cliffhanger, I am curious if there will be a sequel.
