The Gist
Camelia’s life was completely normal. Her family was weird, and a bit dysfunctional, but harmless and utterly normal. Everything – her friends Kimmie and Wes, her passion for pottery, her grades – is normal. Until Ben comes along. A handsome, mysterious bad boy accused of murdering his girlfriend manages to sweep Camelia off her feet, though she has no idea how. Her friends warn her of his sketchy past, the entire student body thinks she’s insane to even be talking to him, the teachers advise against her having anything to do with him. But she can’t seem to stay away. No matter what he does, what he did, or what he refuses to tell, she can’t turn her back and ignore him. But when Camelia starts getting creepy messages and photos from an anonymous stalker, she begins to wonder if she should go with her gut and trust Ben, or do what everyone else says, and avoid him at all costs. As Ben and her get closer, she begins to find out things about his past, leaving it up to her to decide whether or not the rumors of him are true.

I read this book because I love the author. I’d read the entire Blue is for Nightmares series by her, and absolutely adored it. So when I saw she had written something new, I instantly picked it up and started reading. It draws you in right at the beginning, getting you into the story. The characters are really well-developed, but if you’ve read Blue is for Nightmares, you’ve seen it all. The characters are nearly identical. PJ and Amber are mirror images (almost…) of Wes and Kimmie. Stacy and Camelia could be long-lost sisters. It kind of freaked me out at first. I had a weird feeling of deja vu. But I got used to it as I continued to read. The plot is also similar, to my dismay. There’s a stalker, the main character gets weird messages. *creepy music plays* I was disappointed. I wished she could think of another idea. I mean, the stories do have their differences, but when you get right down to it, they’re virtually the same. Still, this didn’t keep me from enjoying the book. I couldn’t put it down in fact. It was a very good read, despite the lack of a new idea. For those of you who love suspense, stalkers, and romance, this is the book for you! As for me, I couldn’t wait for the sequel.
