I was up late last night finishing this book. It was like reading Goosebumps with my kids. Every chapter (which most were only a few pages long), left me hanging to turn the page and see what was going to happen next. Not my usual genre, I had to read it for Book Club, I'd classify it as "Creepy". I stopped trying to figure anything out, because every time tried, it definitely was not what I expected. I told my husband I would make a terrible detective! And I am going to make him read this one!

This is my first book I have read by Ms McFadden and was thoroughly intrigued by all the twists and turns which made for a really engrossing read. If you like a book that keeps you guessing, try this one. I don't think you will be diappointed.

What fun! This is the 5th of McFadden's books that I have read and she has not disappointed me yet. This kept me turning pages (as all her books have). I love being inside the heads of her characters! This is a tale of suspense and surprises where everything may not be as it seems.

Not my genre, as we frequently hear. But oh, I couldn't stop reading until finished. Short, snappy chapters, twists and turns I never saw coming. I really loved this book and have already ordered the sequel.

PLUSES: A definite page turner. You can't help but get engrossed in the plot from the beginning. The characters are definitely unique, and you can almost hear the way certain characters are speaking.

MINUSES: A bit implausible at times. I sometimes felt certain situations could have been avoided if different actions had been taken. And then there was, what I would call, a huge "coincidence" , that was a bit too much. 3 1/2 stars.
