Jasmine, also known as Jazz, is harboring a secret as to why she chose to attend Sutton College.  Leaving behind her boyfriend of three years, she decides to enroll at a college, which is actually beneath her academically. Once she arrives as Sutton, she immediately becomes friends with her roommate Audrey.Jazz is by far a no holds barred kind of girl.  She is not one who likes to party and most definitely has no problem getting in someone’s face.  When she finally gives in to attend a party, she meets a hot guy named Brennan. At the time, she still has her boyfriend Graham, so she keeps it platonic with Brennan. As things progress, Jazz discovers that maybe long-distance relationships aren’t as easy as she first thought. This is the part of the book where I began rooting for a turn of events between Brennan and Jazz.Later, when Audrey’s reputation is questioned through someone’s stalker-like activities, Jazz comes to the rescue. She even solicits the help of the mysterious “private investigator” Sean, a junior at Sutton.  This is also when the mystery deepens. Sean’s involvement in the storyline becomes more defined and not only does the reader want to know what’s going on with Audrey, but also what’s going on with Jazz.Her Dark Places is a fast-paced novel with the perfect amount of wit, suspense, and angst. It’s so much more than a novel centering on a stalker, a long-distance relationship, or even college experiences for that matter. It’s a novel with a plot that is intricately woven, causing the reader to question continuously until the truth is revealed. With an ending that makes me want the second book, like yesterday, I am anxiously awaiting to read what happens with these characters. Fabulous job, Ms. Killarney!Review posted for Hooked on Books
