This is the prequel for Sarah's series; JackRabbit 7. The prequel gives you a sample of Sarah's style in writing and lets you decide if you want to read more.Amelia Hamilton has good friends, a job and a boyfriend. What more could she want? Ok, she lives in a part of the town known for drug dealers, shootings and fights. Yes, her boyfriend got some "issues", but it could be worse, right? And now Connor asked her to move in with him. Should she do it? To add more trouble into the equation, Mia's got a phone stalker calling her every night.There is more than meets the eye when it comes to Mia. Sarah hints at her past (without divulging too much info), and I can sense deep hurt, tragedy and loneliness. At least she got some good friends now. Jenae and her brother, Donovan is the closest friends Mia's got, but even they don't know everything. And yes, she does have Connor (her boyfriend), but seriously? She needs to dump his ass- he's such a douchebag. And I'm putting it lightly here!The ending is... uhmm, well, not for everybody. It is a bit gory, but I like it. Then again, I'm studying to become a vet - it takes a lot to faze me when it comes to gory things :-)I really liked the feeling I got from this prequel. It is gritty, a bit dark and sinister and VERY mysterious.Sarah's writing grabbed me for the all too short pages, made me turn them faster and faster. In the end, I wanted to know more about Amelia (Mia) and her troubles -and boy is she in some kind of trouble! Not to forget, I want to know if there's going to happen more between Donovan and Mia - there's something going on, the question is; will it evolve? I want to know who her phone stalker is, and if she will leave Connor (she deserves better!).This is a great short read that left me wanting to know more, and what do you do when you want to know more? I just bought  Revealing Hamilton (JackRabbitt7 novel #1).  :-) Put Sarah Jayne Carr on your "Keep an eye on" list, because - damn! Great read, great author!
