My name is THE INVISIBLE MAN. 2. I am secretly in love with THE UNDERWATER ACROBAT. 3. My weapon is a CAMERA because I WILL EXPOSE EACH ONE OF YOU. 4. My greatest secret is I WOULD KILL TO BE POPULAR.” With this seemingly unmissable opportunity they find themselves reunited and trapped in a dangerous game. What fuels their desire to attend is that each of them has their reasons to be there, and each of them has their reasons to want to be anywhere but. My feelings towards this book are mixed. I didn’t like like it, but I found it amusing; the idea even though unoriginal was something I liked but the execution left a lot to be desired. The writing was trying to be poetic which was too much so it ended up being pretentious. I mean who, WHO? starts slow dancing in the middle of a school hall with a guy they see for the first time in their life? There were a few twists in the book, some of them I saw coming and others I didn’t. It was a good mix and I found myself on the edge of my seat, excited to take in the next part of the story. She raced from her room. Down the hallway she went, past her baby sister’s nursery, and the bedroom where her parents slept, their limbs entwined like the branches of neighboring trees. Soon the family would wake, and she wouldn’t be able to scour the mailbox in secret. But if she was very quiet (avoiding this floorboard, and that creaky step), she could slip outside without anyone noticing.

It’s so hard to write a spoiler-free review for this book, because I want to share everything I felt while reading it. Niamh was a character I really liked, and she was very easy to relate to as well. I went in for a YA thriller and I got a supernatural horror that kept me on my toes.The characters have reasons for doing what they did (even though I think they were very stupid) and we get to see how some of them became what they became, what happened and all that… that should’ve make us understand them and get to know them, right? So wrong, the characters are cardboards.

At other times, the voice sounded as though the teenagers themselves were narrating - we followed their thoughts, and there were expletives used as modifiers. An example is the insertion of the phrase 'nope, that wouldn't do' into the narration, which is vastly different in tone from the lyrical, poetic prologue. The writing was very bad. But just the second half, because it was filled with the ugliest, most absurd and incomprehensible metaphors, which I swear made me want to carve my eyes out and smash my Kindle.Everyone believes that Salil Singh killed his girlfriend, Andrea Bell, five years ago—except Pippa Fitz-Amobi.
