review 1: Chloe moved to California a year before college to live with her childhood friend and mother’s best-friend so she can get residency before she starts her dream and transfers into film school. Everyone knows the best film schools are in California so Chloe is on cloud 9 when she lands from her long plane ride into LAX. That is until she realizes the jetlag from her flight might have fast-forwarded her into a horror film before she even got to 12th grade.Chloe is the new girl around the city and doesn’t know anybody when she went to a school party by the beach with Jake and his girlfriend, Kate. When she found Lora dead on the beach she only knew it was Lora because of her blue scarf and a minor introduction from Jake a couple of minutes beforehand. Unfortunately, her la... moreck of knowledge left the cops confused and hopeless but there was someone else that was paying really close attention to Chloe and wouldn’t let her off the hook so easily. Needless to say she didn’t make the best first impression in school and pretty much California since the dramatic death was plastered all over the news the next day.Chloe had a sense that she was being watched after she found Lora and she also had inkling that the murderer could very well be some of the people she just recently met. Instinctively she knew Jake couldn’t do it even is she hadn’t seen him or talked to him since the 6th grade. He was still the sweetheart she remembered him to be but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t in danger. After another girl is found murdered and slugged in the school locker nobody seems to have an alibi. Therefore everybody is a suspect and Chloe knows that the murderer is defiantly after her next due to the elaborate messages being left for her that cannot be classified as just a high school prank.Could it be Jake because she really doesn’t know him anymore, she doesn’t know what he’s capable of? Was it Grey the guy who seems a bit too nice to be as sneaky as he is? Was it Emma the outcast in the school? Was it Kate because she is a jealous and a bit two faced? How is it that Chloe landed in California and on her first steps on the beloved beach tripped over the most popular girl in school blank eyed and cold fleshed? Was she somehow connected to these people that she learned the names of after she stared into those dead eyes?This story is allover the place in the best way ever. I didn’t know who did it the entire time and even when the blurry story was starting to clear up there were still a few questions that left me feeling haunted. If you are ready to stretch your mind this thriller is definitely worth the ride.Rating: 8.5/10Source: NetGalley
review 2: I love a good mystery and although this was a very easy and fun read, I felt that it was missing something. Two murders of students at the local high school and Chloe receives threats indicating that she will be the third. Despite knowing that someone close to Chloe was the killer, the story didn't creep me out as much as it should have. A bit more drama and scary scenes would have been welcome. I liked Grey but wasn't too fond of Jake because he was too jock-like! He acted like he was oh so lovely, the perfect best friend and all, but really he had no idea his girlfriend was semi-psycho! less
