Like I've said I had a few problems with the story. Even though it's her hometown, Emily doesn't seem to have any friends, just acquaintances. Babs is the closest to a friend she has, but Emily doesn't seem to particularly like her nor does she seem to have much patience with her. And Emily is described as athletic (she was on the school's soccer team), pretty, extrovert and adventurer. She has everything to be popular. How is it possible that she hasn't any friends? Apart from Babs, Emily only seems to trust Will, a man she barely knows and that's not local, and that I can live with cause, since Emily almost imediately starts to suspect everyone in town, trusting a stranger makes sence. But then she doesn't completely trust, she doesn't tell him everything, she seems determined to do everything and discover everything all by herself.
This was a story that didn't hook me. The characters have little (or none) development and that made it impossible for me to relate to any of them, not even with Emily. I don't know if this happens to anyone else but if I can't relate with a character I don't really care what happens to her.
I liked the writting of the author and the premise but, unfortunately I just couldn't relate to it.
