MY RATING  STARS


This book was entertaining, it's not my usual kind of read (although it is now).  I've really got into this YA/Mystery genre lately. I don't think it's JLA's usual style to write in either, but she doesn't really stick to one particular genre, either. I like that about her.

I liked how I was constantly trying to figure out who is behind Samantha's and Cassie's disappearance, nobody is ruled out as a suspect. My only real qualm with is I didn't feel as connected with Samantha as I would like to have been. Still, it's quite a stellar read.

UPDATE 9/2020...I really wonder if what I would rate this now that I've read so many more mysteries...I'm not sure it would hold up...but it might.
