This is the second book by this author that i’ve read and i throughly enjoyed every minute of reading it. The plot twists, the characters, everything about it was interesting and fun. Having the book set during fall in New England was also a plus for me. YA thrillers are fun, fast paced, and not gory which is why i enjoy them so much. I highly recommend taking the time to read some of this authors work.
