Ten years ago, Jess's mother was murdered by the Magpie Man. She was the first of his victims but not the last.
Now Jess is the star of a YouTube reality series and she's using it to catch the killer once and for all.
The whole world is watching her every move.
And so is the Magpie Man.
A bit slow to start, but once I got properly into it, I couldn't put it down. Definitely a page-turner, and thanks to the very short chapters (which annoys me sometimes, but it worked okay here), it was really easy to just keep reading.
The plot was not at all believable, but it stayed true to its own universe, so I can accept it as just being AU. There were some twists and turns I had NOT seen ahead of time - and also some twists and turns I was certain would come, but never did. It kept me guessing to the very end, which - even if it did come a bit quickly all of a sudden - made sure to tie everything up nicely.
Kinda on the more graphic / scary side for a YA, but not too bad.
