I'm still reeling from this one. It was chilling, creepy, and disturbing. If you are a fan of suspense/mystery/thrillers and you don't mind completely dark, sinister stories, I recommend it.
A reporter, Camille Preaker, returns to her small hometown to write about the unsolved murders of two young girls. She has some pretty major issues of her own and coming home brings painful memories to the surface. Even though she has serious lapses in judgement (i.e. partying with her 13 year old sister) she's not unlikable, and it's easy to see why she is troubled. You may even think you have it all figured out. I thought I did. I was wrong.
This book doesn't have quick, scary moments like you'd find in a low budget horror movie. Rather, it's dark intensity increases well after you have finished. So if you are brave, or this is your genre of choice, read it. But don't say I didn't warn you.
The End.
NO THANK YOU. But thank you for the warning : )
