After Jamie's mother covered the Jinx killer they moved to a small town outside of London to escape the threats. Now, years later a copycat has found their town of Little Ivywood and is targeting Jamie's friends and anyone who poses an issue to her. If this new killer, who calls themselves the Curse, follows the same MO as the Jinx then Jamie will be the final girl. Can she or the police find this terror before she and many more lose their lives?
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I love murder mystery books, shows, and movies so this book was enjoyable for me.
While I enjoyed the book I'm so used to American processes that the fact that a serial killer that is obviously mimicking a prior serial killer not resulting in FBI joining the investigation is foreign to me. I don't know if other countries have similar processes, but with as much as the author seemed to like the tv show criminal minds I am sure they are somewhat familiar with the concept. I can't imagine other countries wouldn't have something in place. A contingency plan of sorts. Especially since serial killers aren't isolated to just America.
The characters were fine in the book and while I guessed who was behind the murder's the author did a good job of trying to shuffle blame in other directions. While I'm always happy to be wrong on who I think did it there is a certain degree of satisfaction in getting it right. This book was a mix of young adult and murder mystery. The young adult aspect being the fact that the victims are teenagers. All 17 to 18.
I don't have a favorite character in the book, but if any other books by this author are similar to this one I would be willing to read more. Definitely not an author I didn't enjoy the writings of, which does unfortunately happen from time to time.
This book is available on Amazon for $0.99 by clicking here.
