review 1: This book is impossible to put down because the initial premise is so intriguing (12-yr-old girl goes missing and 15 years later, a series if strange events start happening) and the mystery just deepens and deepens. The question of whether there is a supernatural element adds to the intrigue. My main complaint is that the author threw in so many mysteries and questions and twists and turns that the ending felt like a manic attempt to find an explanation for everything, kind of like she was digging her way out of a hole she'd created. So although I enjoyed reading most of the book, the ending was a bit of a disappointment.
review 2: I really liked how this book kept me guessing the whole time. I felt like the prologue was oddly narrated and didn't really set the... more stage or tone for the rest of the book. If the whole book was like the prologue, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot less. The whole mysterious childhood summer that Sam, Lisa, and Evie shared was really compelling, and I never knew which way it was going to go; if it was a fantasy or just an abduction. I would have liked to get to know Phoebe's and even Sam's characters a little more, but I liked how the story developed. The ending left me unsettled, but not exactly in a bad way! Really, really intriguing and mysterious! less
