I'm not sure what I expected from this book.  This was one of my first kindle downloads.  Honestly, it was on the top 100 free books at the so I snagged it despite the lack luster reviews.  As I said, thankfully it's short.So what's it about?  Well I suppose it's a supernatural thriller.  Megan had a stalker named Damon at one time..apparently Damon, or whoever he really is, can take the faces off of people after killing them.  Damon was run off months ago by two of Megan's friends but she's been receiving phone calls and her apartment seems to have been disturbed recently.  She thinks it could be him but the friends who originally ran him off say it can't possibly be.Enter, Graham..the handsome stranger...he seems to be admiring her where she works and her friend Laurel sets up a chance meeting.  The attraction is instant and Megan, Graham and two of her friends, Laurel and Craig end up all going to a cabin Graham has in the woods...then things go horribly awry.I do admit that the twist was one I didn't see coming.  Thus the 2 star review.  The writing was on the wall though so it wasn't as if the rug was pulled out from me by the author, so that much was good.  It was the execution of the story that I didn't much care for..the characters in particular...I felt them to be mostly boorish and flat.  I also mention another pet peeve: the overuse of the exclamation point..when every piece of dialogue ends in! It sort of dilutes the effect of when they're really supposed to be shocked! Or surprised! Or angry! Know what I mean?!In addition, I didn't find the book to be very thrilling or scary.  While I love writing favorable reviews, I usually don't like to write bad ones..but I'm just being honest.  I don't mean to bash the author at all.  It just wasn't to my liking.
