**This review, and more like these, can be found on The Enchanted Book (http://theenchantedbook.wordpress.com I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough—I was rushing through this book like my life depended on it. It’s a great thriller and I loved this book a lot, but there are also some things I’d like to get a clearer sense of. A lot of things weren’t explained very well, and that can sometimes cause a hindrance when a reader is trying to like the book. I love the fact that are multiple POV’s in this book. The story is told from Eva’s, her best friend’s, and the killer’s perspective, and I find that to be very interesting. You get a feel for the villain and know why he is doing something, and what’s his/her motivation. The characters in this book are less developed than those in any other novel, but this is a fast-paced, suspense novel, so that is understandable. Each and everyone is a suspect, and that makes the chase even harder, and better. I liked Eva, but wasn’t particularly fond of her as she did whine a few times. Her love interest, Nate, was awesome, but again, it wasn’t explained why he stopped talking to her. One thing I didn’t get about this book is Eva’s brand new death-prediction powers. They did go very well with the whole concept of finding the stalker-killer, but there was no light on how she got them, or why. Although this sort of insta-power thing is sort of common in books, I think there should be an actual explanation of it. Otherwise, it’s basically a prop to help the author get to the end of the story. There isn’t much I can say without spoiling the book, so I will end this here. This is quite possibly my favourite psychological thriller book so far, and I really loved this book. I can’t find any reasons for not liking this book, except maybe some people will have trouble bonding with the characters. Nevertheless, I think once you get into it, this book can be a great read. Book Theme Song Take Me to Church by Hozier I believe this song really depicts the killer’s relationship and feelings towards Eva. You’ll understand after reading this book why I chose this specific song to portray the novel. No spoilers. My Rating: ★★★★ 4 stars
