Fast-paced YA mystery centered around a murder that occurred 5 years ago.  Lots of twists that had me revising my theory repeatedly.  It was frustrating to read a few of the typical mistakes seen in mystery/horror novels/movies, such as a girl taking her dog for a walk alone in the woods at night after receiving threatening messages.  However, there were a lot of unique elements in the plot and the characters were interesting.  The epilogue, 2 months later, seemed a little anticlimactic and I had a couple of unanswered questions, but I'll definitely be reading the other books in the series.

Check the trigger warnings before reading this.

This whole book was a really good time and I couldn't stop reading, I was completely hooked! 

And then the ending happened and I was bored lol. But overall, it was a damn good story with great characters, just with an ending that leaves you just a bit bothered. Still, overall the plot was good enough for me to want to read the next one.
