I just...this book frustrated me. I never really connected with any of the characters. Kady was annoying from the beginning. Lauren was okayyyy but just tried to fit in and didn't have her own identity. Jude freaked me out. A lot. I did NOT like the romance plot between him and Lauren at all. I'm sorry, but Lauren has ZERO self respect to be with a guy who stalked her, gave her food poisoning intentionally, and was all around really creepy and angry. That just really annoyed me. I'm usually all about having a little romance in a book, but I was actually rooting for them to NOT get together. And then there's Mason. I actually liked Mason. And then? He turns out to be a psycho murderer. I mean, sure. Your girlfriend was faking liking you and faked her abduction to get back at you for kissing her best friend, but murder? Geez. I mean he did it flawlessly and didn't get caught (peanuts? Genius.) but it was still something I didn't expect from him.

The whole book moved a lot slower than I expected it to, especially since it's relatively short. I feel like it spent too much time in Jude's head and getting to know him, than trying to follow the plot of finding Kady. I'll give it two stars because the one thing I did enjoy is that I didn't figure out what was going to happen until about 4 chapters before it did and even then, there was still that last twist. I did kind of feel like the murder was a cop out, and I would have liked seeing how Kady had to pay for what she did though. Definitely not a favorite, which is a bummer because I was really excited about reading this one.
