Drama

I enjoyed it while reading it but it was a little less mysterious in the conclusion than most of her books. ( )

Good read but did not like how it ended ( )

This one was just ok. I slogged through it to try to reach my goal but I really didn't enjoy it. There were too many characters to keep track of and most of them were extraneous and didn't matter much to the story anyway. For this story to be effectively told the author should have gone into more detail about each character. But then it would have been a 500 page book.The whole thing was just kind of muddy. And I was disappointed because from the reviews it sounded like a great story. ( )

In the opening chapter, we join young Pip as she discovers her older just-turned-13-year-old sister lying unconscious, bloodied, her clothes partially removed in a community park.
The following chapters are events prior to the attack. We meet the community members who have access to the park. The author builds suspicions on several of the characters, bringing in their past transgressions, old rumors, faults, and outside observations... It is definitely a tension-filled read. So I was rather disappointed in the ending. It was a horrible ending, it just wasn't what I was expecting. ( )
