I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Part of me regrets not getting more when these were free - and part of me knows that I wouldn't be interested. I mean, I only got this for the sexy, sexy motorcycle. I suspected the main mystery, the main horror, would be rather straightforward and it was once the twist was revealed. (Although that was a surprise to me: I kept guessing wrong, so Hoh had a really good red herring set up there.)
I didn't expect much from these, but there are some pretty complex things going on, like the blackmail of the main character, Echo. More than that, it delves into how vulnerable a young woman can be at college and how men can prey on her. It explores some dark, serious, and important issues, and this gets acknowledged at the end.
It was deeper than I thought it would be and well written enough that I found myself compulsively reading. One star down for not really doing it for me as far as horror, because the scariest part is I can believe the police wouldn't believe her, and dismiss her the way she did, especially in certain parts of the country.
