Gah. Well. That was a pretty creepy book (the secret wasn't deadly, though). There were freaky stalker people, exes with handcuffs, and boys who sense things through touch...?Okay, fine. It was still good. In the book, there are chapters told from two different viewpoints, although the narrator of one of them is never revealed (though by the end, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who it is). As the story goes on, the author leads you to figure out exactly what's going on, and then bam! Sudden big plot twist, and you had no inkling whatsoever that it's going to happen. Very crafty. Laurie Faria Stolarz also pulls off alternating between a best friend's hilarious one-liners and scenes that give you a chill up your spine.
Camelia's normal high-school world is turned upside down upon the arrival of the mysterious new kid, Ben. Gossip has it that he murdered his girlfriend. Everyone seems to be shunning Ben. Everyone except Camelia. A while back, the same Ben saved her life right before she was hit by a van (Twilight, no?). Her friends repeatedly warn Camelia to stay away from him, but she simply shakes off their worrying. Then Camelia starts getting packages, her room is vandalized, and she's sure someone is stalking her. Could her friends be right about Ben's past and Camelia's future?
