Note: Actual rating is 3.5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I love thrillers. And while Thomas kept me guessing throughout the entire book and did SO WELL with the red herrings I felt a little flat by the end.

There is a lot going on with these characters that you really only get glimpses of. The mix of contemporary YA and mystery I am finding leaves me slightly underwhelmed, because of the focus to build BOTH rather than having a full on mystery thriller. It makes the book enjoyable, sure, but it also leaves me wanting more from both angles.

The characters in this book? Oh boy. They are some doozies. The main three were not likeable characters. I personally loved this in a thriller sense though. And holy crap some of the internal dialogue - SHIVERS. This is the creep factor that I want to see more of in YA mysteries. I really wish I had some of this dialogue (just a wee hint) from riiight at the beginning though.

The ending, as everyone has said you won't see coming. You just won't.

I was a little bummed because I felt there weren't enough clues for the ending.

But maybe I'm just really upset that I never figured it out.
