The main characters has experienced
something very traumatic and keeps having flashes or things that could
have, or did happen...we aren't sure. She's paranoid, has anxiety and
has a hard time trusting anybody. The
story jumps back and forth from current day into her memories of the
day she killed her boyfriend. So we slowly get snippets of that day
throughout the story that will eventually lead up to piecing
everything together.
I
love horror stories and this book was so much fun to read, I read it
in one day and loved how we are just given the tiniest of a hint to
what could have happened that night. Also mixed in with a whole new
mystery of what is happening with this group at school. Highly
enjoyed this thrill ride and it was dark, freaky and lots of blood.
