Review
Whoa….I was not expecting the path the book leads us down. It may be YA, but it is creepy and suspenseful all at the same time. I could not put this book down because I had to know how it was going to turn out.
At first, I thought Sonora was going to be an amateur sleuth like the cozies that I read. While she is trying to figure out what happened to her friend Magnolia, the truth will blow you away.
At times I felt for Sonora and what she was going through, but at other times she was rather tiresome. But that is what really plays up the storyline, her actions with her friends and trying to unravel the mystery. Of course, she has a good incentive, Magnolia’s ghost is haunting her and it isn’t pretty.
Sonora’s parents, especially her mom, hover a bit over her. We find out she has seen a therapist in the recent past but really don’t know why. Her mom gives her a vitamin – but I wonder if it isn’t some sort of prescribed drug. I won’t say more because you will understand as the story unfolds especially at the end.
If you like YA, suspense, paranormal, and thrillers, you might want to check this book out!
