This book just does not let up on the suspense.  From the first line, it draws the reader into a web of suspicions, lies, and revelations.  The main character receives an e-mail threat with a ticking time bomb.  Likely it is a prank, or spam mail or a virus.  Her friends tell her to forget about it.  But when Chelsea runs into a man at a bar whose brother had died, and who had also received the e-mail, she believes her life is in danger.  The story twists and turns unexpectedly.  Chelsea starts to mistrust her instincts as she uncovers lies and evasions from her very closest friends.  Suspicions are cast at a slew of characters, as Chelsea does not know who to trust.  Is it the handsome man who believes his brother was murdered?  Or the jealous ex-boyfriend?  Or perhaps even one of her girlfriends?  Who to believe?  Who to trust?  Or perhaps it was all a hoax, a practical joke?  As the deadline draws near, Chelsea teeters on the edge of a major decision, afraid of the dire consequences if she should be wrong.And the ending fight scene, not to give it away, was super cinematic. I could picture the camera panning from one face to the other, and then zooming in on the hand grasping for the knife, then turning to the bundle of bags, and back to the guy with the crowbar. I hope they make a movie out of this.  Honestly, the entire book is suited for a movie from the pole dancing to the writing on the wall to curb hopping driving to the ditzy aunt.  And the romance was the added sweet touch.  :)
