Suspenseful Horror!

Twists and turns throughout this book as it throws you right into the story in the first chapter and keeps you in suspense till the end. College campus life is not all what it seems for one girl as her roommate disappears and no one seems to know what happened to her.

The book takes you on a twisting ride all the way to the end when finally you find out what happened to the girl. Not giving away spoilers, so you will just have to read the book. Four stars on this one. ( )

College is a time for change and a time for exploration. It is a new beginning for those that have been repressed by elders and an ending of childhood. It is the summoning of self-exploration and the closing of confinement. Students live for parties, but often feel drained by both job and school work. No one ever expects to confront death at college. No one believes that their roommate will suddenly disappear and leave a quake of questions left unanswered. This book is about one student named Trisha who finds herself in this predicament. On return for another packed year of learning, she is met with the disappearance of her long term roommate. A girl that has always been known to be level headed and reliable. Looked at as a boy chaser, her roommate Althea is thought to have run off with a boy. However, Trisha feels differently and remains Althea’s voice in a time of doubt. Not sure where to turn, she finds herself uncovering twisted plots within a local frat house. Faced with drugs and kidnapping, Trisha must prove her findings to be true. Will Trisha find her roommate and save her life before it is too late? Are the people she knows really who they say they are? Why are girls disappearing and are they all connected?

I enjoyed this book very much and was captivated by its uniqueness. At first I thought it would be a typical ‘who done it’ with a college girl as the hero, but that is not what happened. To my surprise the author created a damn good story that left me scratching my head. I strongly believe this book is worth the read and it would make a great addition to any library. It has appeal for both the young readers and adult readers. It would also make a great addition to any high school literature class. The story could fall under the suspense category and it would be relatable to those students heading off to college. Teachers could communicate that the book drives home a simple message. This message tells the reader that as a person gains independence, they also gain heavy responsibility. This responsibility often calls for a person to stand alone during a time of crisis. It is better to suffer alone and know that you are doing the right thing, rather than to remain silent and watch a stranger fall. One person can make a difference and sometimes this difference saves a life. I must thank both author and Goodreads for giving this book to me in a giveaway. It was much appreciated and I enjoyed it very much! :) ( )

I received this from Goodreads to read and review. This book held my attention because it had a little bit of everything, romance, mystery, the paranormal, suspense. When her roommate Althea disappears for no solid reason, though the police chief believes she just took off, Trish cannot accept that. As she searches for Ali, Trish delves deeper and deeper into the dark side of campus life. Unfortunately for her, things, long dormant, have awakened and now have Trish in their sights. She will find her safe world being replaced by one she could never have ever believed existed. The plot and execution are this novel’s strong point. Unfortunately, some of the character development and actions just did not ring true to me. However, the plot saved it for me. This is a book for those who enjoy suspense and intrigue. ( )
