Jessa has been raised to be the "perfect girl." She is unfailingly polite, never rocks the boat, and always follows the rules—no matter what. Her friends love to give her a hard time for being such a goody two-shoes, but Jessa likes it this way. She knows what's expected of her, and she's happy to be the person her parents (and society) want.
When a freak storm takes out the power during a sleepover at Jessa's creepy, old house, things go south before the pizza gets cold. Her friends are at each other's throats, unexpected guests keep showing up (some more welcome than others), and it's not just her brother serving up jump scares. A killer looking for the perfect girl has targeted Jessa, and she'll have to reject everything she's been taught if she wants to keep herself—and her friends—alive until sunrise.
Who knew perfection could be so dangerous?
My Review:
I had such a fantastic time reading this book! The synopsis sounded thrilling, and I couldn't put this book down, it was so engaging and I had to know what's going to happen next! Especially as things kept getting creepier and creepier, and tended to be going downhill.
Things are set up pretty quickly, and then things quickly started to escalate! With Jessa and her friends in her home, with the power out and no phone service, each moment just got more and more tense! There's a neighbourhood boy who seems to be lurking, her brother and his friend (who she has a crush on) shows up, and oh, yeah, it all kept growing!
Jessa tries her best to be perfect, she was scolded for being messy, and that's a pretty crippling weight for her to carry, those expectations. Especially when things her brother does gets carried over to her. But it's also something that she struggles with in every situation, to make everybody happy.
We did get brief times in another perspective, of a friend or a girl who went missing, and I had to know what was going on and how it was all connected! I had a suspicion that the book laid out, and I just had to know how it was all going to play out! That ending was epic to read!
This was such a terrific read and I can't wait to read more by Tracy Banghart!
