Are there spoilers?

Some.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one of the books I read after the passing of Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. With no water, electricity or internet I took to reading my books.

I decided to not do this for the books I've read on 2018. But it has been 4 months since Hurricane Maria. And I'm happy to announce that now we have water, and electricity.

Makani Young thought she'd left her dark past behind her in Hawaii, settling in with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska. She's found new friends and has even started to fall for mysterious outsider Ollie Larsson. But her past isn't far behind.

Then, one by one, the students of Osborne Hugh begin to die in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasingly grotesque flair. As the terror grows closer and her feelings for Ollie intensify, Makani is forced to confront her own dark secrets.

The Rating:

My Review:

Started this book on January 2, 2018.
I finished reading this book on January 22, 2018.

The Cover:

Although they say never judge a book by it's cover I believe the cover should represent what the book is going to be like or at least some aspect of it.

This cover is everything. I mean just look at it. It's awesome because of the neon punk projection of the title, but creepy with the staircase.

The Story:
Teen murder mystery. Where a YA contemporary romance mixes with a horror murder mystery.

Overall:
I had been in a mystery thriller ride. Where I was reading all my tnt books that went along with that genre.
But something that this book had that was different was the horror genre.

On account of the horror in this I just didn't like it. It wasnt that good. The only scary part was the stranger in the house trope. But that was it.

With the whole YA side of the story. I also didn't completely like it. The relation ship the main characters had felt too rushed and boring. The teen situations were good though.
