Customer Reviews

I Loved It

I went on to another site to read all the reviews on this novel after I had finished it. I read all the reviews as to why I shouldn't like this book and how it was a poor imitation of a great story: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, which, yes, I have read and thoroughly enjoyed. Okay, this is geared to teens/YA, so naturally there is going to be a lot of teen angst and possibly ill thought out decisions, but I still found it to be a good read. I could hardly put it down and believe me, I have read lots of books from all different genres because I usually read in excess of 100 books a year. I will still give this a 5 star rating because when a book keeps me reading late into the night, I feel as if I have gotten my money's worth. If you are not into YA novels with teen level maturity, then I would not recommend this novel to you because you are expecting something geared toward a more mature audience. I have read a lot of YA books and found them good, solid reads with a great deal to offer. Some are full of teen angst while others have great life lessons. I find I enjoy a large range of reading material To each his own. All of us have different tastes in books and authors and that is okay because that's what makes us all unique. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and I would recommend it.

Enticing

A good mystery novel, it will leave you wondering throughout the whole book who did it. Everytime you think you know who the killer is something happens to change your whole idea. I liked the twists and turns in this story. You don't get to know many of the characters or get the story much behind them, but at the end the truth finally comes out and everything starts to make sense.

Amazing!

I loved this book so much..you may not think that it would be that scary since its a young adult but oh my god, I was almost shaking! It's SO good.

I absolutely loved this book. It kept me guessing the whole time.
