It was just overly spelled out and no real excitement of the book. Plus it was sort of petty non-reality high schooly. I was just unimpressed and her reaction to Ben's secret is moronic. The author did a decent job making you guess who it was but did not really succeed since it was clear they didn't want you to know until the very end! Meh.

I actually managed to finish this book in one sitting. It was short, but the suspense was beautifully written. I felt the fear the main character was feeling.
I have to say though, the ending was a little bit anticlimatic, and I had already guessed who the stalker was at the beginning of the book. But the way the suspense was written still made me shiver.
I don't know if I'll pick up the other books. It's not a priority at the moment.

This book was great. I loved Laurie Faria Stolarz after I read Project 17 and I was very excited to read this book. At first I was slightly annoyed that she had this many suitors, but that was the point. It kept you on your toes. You always change your opinion on who was Camelia's stalker. All of the characters were well written and enjoyable. Ben was mysterious without being cheesy. Camelia is her own person without being unapproachable. All of the plot twists were very well written and unexpected. The fight sequences were very good. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

I had a lot of fun reading this. It's much better than her other book I read, Blue is for Nightmares. It's nothing ground breaking but it did lead me to believe the stalker was someone other than who it really was. Didn't see it coming as I was so convinced I was right.
