I chose this rating because it was a good book. Have I read better, yes. But there was good flow and the ending was a good twist.

This book was hard to break from reading. One mystery became another mystery. Young adults, or college kids sometimes have a cruel sense of imagination. They can also be too selfish to consider the feelings of others. These characterizations were well mixed into the mystery with personal emotions on the side. I believe you will enjoy the read.
Excellent mystery!! It was truly captivating and so mysterious. It’s definitely one of those that had me going down the wrong path, then shocked me in the end. This author is new to me, I’m off to find the sequel.
Heavy drinking the night before, awakening and wonder what happened. A lot of suspect being it takes place at the university. Good plot to enjoy.
I enjoyed this novel very much. This is the second in the series and I like the Erica Swift character as well as the other characters. The story was intense and kept me guessing through out. Highly recommend. Into #3.
Read this book in one sitting! The writing kept my attention all the way through. I was not expecting the ending. I was like WOW! My mind was blown away!
The book is good, a little predictable but enjoyable. I was so distracted by the errors, however. (Kindle edition) In a least 2 places the characters’ names were confused. I’ve never seen such blatant goofs. The writing needed editing. It felt like a book that was rushed to the publisher.
I've read several books written by M.K. Farrar; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.
I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
This book had me going back and forth. Who was doing what and when and how. Twists and turns abundant. Enjoyed trying to solve it.
