Reader reviewed by Sara

From book jacket: Pain shoots through my head. Fireworks. Explosions. All inside my brain. The world goes dark and I know whats about to happen. Zara White suspects theres a freaky guy semi-stalking her. Shes also obsessed with phobias. And its true, she hasnt exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane& but Zaras pretty sure her mom just cant deal with her right now.
She couldnt be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zaras overactive imagination. In fact, hes still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. Theres something not right not human in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara.

Favorite characters, quotes/lines: Nick: he was a dynamic character, I wish we had gotten to know him better; Devyn and Issie: I wish they were have had a bigger part in the novel

When I finished this book I felt: This book was good, and Ill probably read the next one (if there is one), but it wasnt something to rave about. Zara was an airhead and not in a cute way. She kept putting herself in stupid situations; she must have taken after her mother who didnt seem that bright either. The supernatural elements of this book were good, but it didnt really seem fully developed. And, while some of the lines were funny, many of them, especially Zaras, were pretty inane.

Other books to read by this author: this is Jones first novel

I would recommend this book to: Im not really sure Young Adult/Supernatural fans but only if they have already read some better books (they should read this one if theyve already read everything else.)
