    I loved how you didn't know think things were linked at first and even when you do start to see they may all be related to one another you just can't work out why or who is behind it and then you have the creepy texts that Marlee is getting. Marlee and Ben work well together trying to dig up evidence of what really happened to her brother and the new deaths in town and the attraction they both have fuels the fire in Ben to make sure Marlee is safe even from her father who leaves a lot to be desired as a parental figure. This has action, suspense, attraction as well as laughs and determination and I can not wait to read the next in the series!!
