Nothing better than a psychotic thriller with the 'who done it moment' completely not what you expect! I was not prepared to fall into a trap of mystery and suspense and come out a bit shaken and a whole lot in love with the players!Avery Patterson...or Breslin...as she once was, is trying to move on. She wants to be away from her old life and the notoriety or her father's serial killer label. She has had one constant in her life and that is the older, somewhat damaged, but uncharacteristically sweet/dark Luke. He has not only been a rock thru her traumatic ordeal but she has no desire to reconnect with that past. Its too bad for her that he is now a presence in her collegiate life a local cop and off hours rock god.Together they are odd, connected yet withdrawn. This whole book has a sense of darkness and mistrust. There are many subplots all around the story of Avery and Luke reconnecting and discerning whether or not her life has been ruined by a lie. Odd roommates, impulsive friends, and aggressive exchange students all make the story a bit complex, so there are so many questions...Is Avery's dad really a killer? is Luke who he says he is? is Avery's lone family link, Uncle Brandon a bad guy? is Noah just a college bad boy or something else?I for one was desperate to find out what was happening, how everyone was connected and who was evil. Throughout the story, I was drawn to Luke's mysteriousness and his secrecy...I wanted to crack his code, lol!  But, more than Luke, I was so impressed with how well written Avery's character was done. This girl was young, yet showed a maturity and strength that was so refreshing. She sought comfort when offered, she asked for what she needed, yet at the same time she ran when expectedYES, there is a bit of a CLIFFHANGER, such a dirty word! But honestly, I recommend this little suspenseful tale as it was fabulously entertaining!
