When Jude, fourteen, disappears from school, for some reason
it Abbie, the school loner, whom she texts for support. But when Jude doesn’t return during the
city-wide candlelight vigil, it all comes out that Jude and Abbie planned the
whole thing as payback to Jude’s former best friend, Andrea, who dumped Jude
just days earlier. Now Abbie looks like
an idiot and now everyone trusts her less than before. Even worse - someone is out to actively make
Abbie’s life miserable, whether it’s veiled threats. or making her look more
like a fool, or even framing her for something bad that happened to another
student. Abbie needs to figure out who
this UNKNOWN is, or her life may really be in danger.
I have read a couple of MacPhail’s earlier works; she writes
a very taut, nerve-wracking thriller. I
avoid horror movies like the plague, so even reading well-crafted horror books
gives me the willies. And MacPhail can
do that in spades.
MS - ADVISABLE.
