I'm floundering on a score of 3 or a 4 stars. On one hand, I pretty much got what I expected. On the other, Hannah is so ridiculously annoying I want to jump in the book and smack her. It might not be her fault, every time she has an independent thought another character tells her to stop being hysterical.
What I loved: isolated setting, an escaped inmate from the insane asylum loose in the area, a maniac ex-boyfriend and no utilities. Also, no parents (delayed home because of blizzard).
What was meh: two injured young (and hot, I guess?) boys show up on the first night and immediately begin bossing both girls around (despite the fact the girls saved them and are feeding them.) Both males are very shady about giving personal information. Both males are interested in making out with Hannah whenever they get into a room alone with her. How attractive can she be if she is hysterical all of the time?
The rest I'm hiding. I think it is best to go in not knowing anything ahead of time in this story. Watch for small details that get dropped.
This the story with the teddy bear and the ice pick. LOL Also, I love this bit, from moody, mysterious Lance, "Where I come from, you listen to every sound. You watch every shadow." Hahaha The scene from the cover actually happens in the book. I have a hard time believing that Hannah actually searched the house for batteries for the radio (that would have been my number one priority and it bothered me that it was never revisited). I have to give props to Cusick for explaining why Hannah and Meg are not that self-sufficient, they have only lived in that house for a year and it sounds like Dad does most of the work. At the same time, every conversation in this story was stilted and weird. No one spoke like real teenagers.
