Haunted by the past . . .
Penny's trying to forget about her ex, Nash. His father was arrested for the brutal murder of four teenagers on Devil's Night last year. Penny's parents have forbidden her to have anything to do with Nash or his family. It's hard not to think of what happened as spooky season gets underway--but she's trying.
That stops when she goes to the Halloween store with her friends to find a costume. What she finds instead is ripped from a horror movie: a girl from school bleeding out on the floor of a dressing room. Stabbed.
Is a copycat killer on the loose? The adults are saying no. But Penny knows better.
Ok. So. This is a perfect fall/autumn book; a serial killer on the loose, a corn maze, costumes, running around the place. But gah, that ending! I don't know if Natasha is planning a second one or if that's just where it's ending, but either way, it's very irritating.
However! I loved the story and characters; I didn't want to put the book down as I was reading, because I really wanted to find out whodunnit and what was going to happen; I did suspect the actual killer, but as I suspected everyone at one point or another I'm not sure that's much of an accomplishment! If it weren't for that (cliffhanger) ending this would score much higher on my scale.
Read it for the Hallowe'en vibes, just be aware of the ending.
