I was very excited to read this one because I've read other things by this author and those books have been really wonderful. However, I was very disappointed because this book failed to deliver.
The good: Super creepy cover. Interesting characters, especially Neena, whose parents emigrated to the US from India. Two friends who want to go on an adventure together before they go their separate ways for college.
The bad: Just about everything else. The novel is slow to start and the characters are so whiney. The novel isn't realistic at all and no backstory is ever given to the villains (when we do finally get there). The first half of the book is some of the most boring plotting I've ever read.
I was really disappointed in this novel as I really loved There's Someone Inside Your House when I read that a couple of years ago even though I am not a YA fan.
