"a refreshing take on paranormal romance. "I have to give Kimberly Derting the highest praise for writing a story that never, ever patronizes its intended readers.her story is scary, sexy, emotional, and downright riveting at all times she never 'writes down' to the teen or young adult who will pick up the book." Older readers will quickly find themselves pulled into Derting's neighborhood." "The explicit and unsettlingly candid tone of the killer reminds one of Robert Cormier's Tenderness (Delacorte, 1997), while several twists and turns keep the pages flipping. "This creative mystery has it all.the heart of a romance novel wrapped up in pages that almost crackle with the electricity of suspense." A real page-turner, this will have readers checking behind themselves and refusing to go anywhere alone." "First-time novelist Derting has written a suspenseful mystery and sensual love story that will captivate readers who enjoy authentic high-school setting, snappy dialogue, sweet romance, and heart-stopping drama. sections from the perspective of the killer add a creepy, page-turning quality. "Derting's first novel demonstrates unusual skill in weaving together contemporary teenage preoccupations with its paranormal plot twist.
