T. R. Stoddard has written another excellent thriller that everyone should be picking up and reading, not just for Y/A's....You will learn a very important lesson or two about the evil "Dark Hearts" lurking in chat rooms of all kinds, the proper bait and  psychological games played by predators...This is absolutely the real "frightening reality" of our times due to all social networking....You just never know who..This story starts off with slow momentum and the terror intensifies all the way to the shocking, yet ironic ending..Perfect depiction of how people or our teens hook up, meet and vanish without a trace..The predators know how to cover their  trail and they become "cold cases"...This will leave Detectives' utterly bewildered and frustrated for years, even when they do start to detect a pattern..It's way too late...Great detailed depiction of extremely dysfunctional families and teens suffering from low self esteem that resort to anorexia, "self mutilation or cutters", depression  and eventually they become so broken that sometimes it leads to suicide..We have all seen this on news channels more and more lately because of bullying on the cyber network.....All I will say about the book is that Adam, Kara, Brie, Lucy, Sammy, and Cherry all end up intertwined in the deadly games people play..You need to figure out who will be the survivor.....I loved the shout out to "Catchfish" an excellent independent film that was shocking not only to my husband and I, but to the young man that this terrible event occurred..Every one who has never seen it, should rent from one of those companies and be freaked out...I also applaud Ms. Stoddard for even being responsible with her book at the end and a providing "hotline numbers" so our teens know they are safe people or counselors to talk to.....Just excellent....
