 Fast and shallow read August 24, 2010
Berkley Bug
To "test drive" my new Kindle, I downloaded several free books... this being one of them. Nothing on the site advised this book was written for teenagers or that it has "soft" Christian overtones. Be that as it may, there are better choices for teenagers... this book is poorly written and is lame. The main characters (mother and daughter) are not developed and are quite shallow. Some of the language is ridiculously descriptive to the point of being distracting. I forced myself to keep reading, believing that it would get better. Wrong. Same sloppy writing to the last page. To find out the end, one must purchase the next in the series to follow the remainder of the story. I won't be one of those persons.
Great beginning for a new mystery series... August 18, 2010

I was actually impressed. This one took me by surprise from the beginning with immediately seeing into the killers eyes. Then, we switch to Shaley and her rock star mom Rayne. The length of the plot is three days, but by the end I feel like Shaley and that it was more like a few months, but in a good way. We follow through the lives of Shaley and her mom as they deal with the murder of a close friend. From there, everything begins to be not what they thought and people not who they thought. Even up until the end, I was shocked to figure out who the killer was. The writers did a great job of keeping you guessing and turning pages as fast as you could to get to the next one. I literally didn't want to put it down. I just had to know what the killer was going to do next and try to get some clue as to who it might be. The writing only switched between Shaley's perspective and the killers - a fact to which I was very grateful. The transitions were smooth and easy to get. I liked how it ended and from the preview I got of the next in line, it literally picks up where this one leaves off. I think this is a great beginning of a great mystery series. The Christian influence is actually barely there, which is a nice backdrop for Christian fiction. It's not in your face, or shoved down any characters throat, it's just simple reminders that someone is watching out for you - someone good.

I just finished reading this book last night and I loved it. I can't wait to read the next one is the series.
 Cut off in the middle. August 9, 2010
deb from maine Loved the story, but disappointed to be hooked into a free book that will now cost me to get to the end. It should have been labeled Part 1 . I have read many a series, but each book had its own unique story line.

This book has 47 chapters that switch between the girl (Shaley) and the murderer. It was a nice change from reading Sherlock Holmes (where I knew who the killer was immediately). The book would have gotten more stars, but since it is part of a series I feel it was too short and the author is holding out the juicy stuff for the next book.
