Book Review
I really enjoyed all the speculation throughout
I really enjoyed reading this book, although at the beginning I felt that it took a while to get going. However, once I got just before half way I could not put it down and finished the rest of the book in two sittings. I really enjoyed all the speculation throughout and was able to guess who it was myself all the way through.
Mia knows someone is watching her, knows they are following her and taking pictures of her. The police cannot take these reports of stalking seriously until she has proper evidence, but things get worse for Mia when her copycat, down to every last detail, turns up dead. This causes Mia even more problems, thinking that the murdered/stalker might have been meaning to kill her. She begins to wonder if she can even trust her friends and if she might soon be the one dead on the beach.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a dark mystery story full of twists and excitement. If you don’t find the start too thrilling, keep reading and I promise it gets a whole lot more exciting.
