My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

This was a pretty good book, some parts were not very believable though. "I Love Yous" after one date and other little things like that. Colleen the main character seemed a bit childish in some spots, and in others everyone said how strong she was. I personally didn't see anything strong about her.

Everything felt rushed, except for the descriptions of the murders. The story line was written well though, trying to get into the mind of a murderer. Re-reading this it seems like all bad, that's not the case! I did like the book, I read it in 2 days, when I didn't even know if I could squeeze it in my to read list for the month. Being a debut novel it was great! The ending made me mad, in a good way. I can't wait to read more! It can only get better right :-)
