3.5

I participated in an adopt an author event and I was given this author to review.  Looking back, I wish I would have chosen the second book to start with.  The combo YA horror romance is not the type of book I usually go for.  The writing was interesting when it was the secret admirer's perspective.  I wish there was more focus on the murders themselves versus the does he love me back and forth.  The timeline and time passing was also a bit clunky and the large passages of time skipped made it hard to follow at times.  Be prepared for a pretty explicit book!

However, that being said, I am willing to give the second book a try.  I am interested to see where the murders go and the author herself did state that the beginning novella was just to give some backstory.
