This is a pretty good story, but a little too gruesome for my taste. It would be a good horror-type movie, as is so popular among a certain demographic. Being beyond high-school (or college)(or professional school) age, it felt a little creepy to me to read the teen sex scenes, although they were written with tenderness. Still, it was a sad story, ultimately disappointing. I can't say precisely why without spoiling the story and its ending, so, if you like creepy killers and young folks in distress, this one is for you. Well written with some really lovely descriptive prose, sometimes a little too descriptive; ex: one boy has "mid-length" black hair, and a few sentences later, his girl runs her hands through his "long black hair." Well, first, which is it, mid-length or long? And second, couldn't "his hair" have done as well for the second reference?  BTW, I made the wrong guess at the killer, but I was close. I'm usually right on; see how close you get.
