It's the perfect step up from when you feel a little older than John Bellairs and a little too young for Christopher Pike, who is straight-up crazy. Y'all, I feel like I've been waiting for this book to come along for a long old time. It's crime! It's paranormal! It's YA! It's mean girls in high school and family dating woes! Where's the little half-star button? I need a half-star button so this thing gets bumped up to 4.5. However, I did read this quickly and I was invested in the story. Her dumb brain kept thinking it was someone else. I’d rather read a 600+ page book that has all its parts together. This is probably the most frustrating thing ever. And I don’t like novelas that feel like pieces of a book. Her memory was affected and would come back in shattered pieces. She couldn’t or wouldn’t remember anything. Also extremely frustrating was her unreliable narration. Is it all serial killers or just this one? Will she become a private investigator? Can she talk to ghost? She is an “in-betweener,” who coined that name? If it has name there are more like her? Right? Soooooooooo many questions. I still don’t understand her connection to the serial killer. A once star, almost Olympic, soccer player can’t even run without falling. She also has very bad mental retention and physical coordination.

She can’t see color but can see light around people that show different emotions. She was pronounced dead for 44 minutes then miraculously came back. Going back to school was actually harder than dying.
