The more secrets uncovered, the more danger for them all. A very intense thriller that will keep you glued to the pages.
Cleo’s last year has been a hard one. When she receives a mysterious birthday scavenger hunt, she decides it is just what she needs. At first, she thinks her best friend or brother might have done it to cheer her up, but the more she looks into it things start to get freaky. Each new clue uncovered leads to her dead boyfriend who drowned a year ago on a trip with her and her friends. His death was shrouded in mystery and Cleo now thinks someone is coming after her because of it.
This book had all the right thrills and chills to keep me glued to the page. I especially loved the ending and the way it played out as the mystery unfolded. Cleo had a tough time and having to relive what she went through was written with all the right tension and moments of suspense. I particularly loved the way her brother and best friend were by her side to help her, and those relationships were used against her in the evil plot. I thought this was a very fast paced and well written book. I don’t know that I would agree with it being written for teenagers as it had a lot of mature themes, but for the more mature audience it would be a perfect read to keep them on the edge of their seats.
