In this exciting new read by Nancy Bush we meet Jamie Whelon, a young girl in her sophomore year of high school. Jamie has been asked by a boy she has a crush on if she will be showing up at a party one Friday night. Excited at the prospect of spending time with said crush Jamie asks her older sister to takeover the babysitting job she has that night. Her sister Emma agrees and even though she shows up late Jamie is still excited for what is to come. Things don't end up like she planned though, she never sees her crush that night and her sister ends up being attacked and left for dead. Jamie soon learns that not only is Emma physically scarred but mentally as well, she'll need someone to care for her for the rest of her life. This prospect is to much for Jamie and she leaves home as soon as it's possible, not wanting the responsibility off Emma thrust upon her from her mom. Now it's twenty years later and Jamie has a teenage daughter of her own. She soon learns of her mother's passing and packs them up heading home to care for her sister. When a girl is attacked in a similar fashion to her sister Jamie wonders if it could be connected to what happened all those years ago. She worries about her own daughter especially since she is friends with the girl who was attacked and was actually suppose to be there that night along with her. Meanwhile her sister Emma starts talking about the night she was attacked, the problem is making sense of what she is saying. Jamie knows she must dig into the past to see if it is relevant to what is happening now. Can she put the puzzle pieces together before someone else ends up hurt or even dead? This was such an exciting read that will definitely take you back to the eighties when horror films with teens were must see. I loved the nostalgia it brought out in me, I've always gotten a kick out of horror books and movies and this book left me wanting more, in a.good way!
