Dark and gritty and full of twists and turns.
I absolutely love the characters of the twins and Beth Lee. They are well created and like-able. This story also introduces us to Port Gamble a town that has some tumultuous history. We meet some of the towns resident and these characters are also really well done. ( please not this next part of my review is in both reviews as it’s relevant to both books in this series) The story itself was suspenseful and eerie. Standing alone ( if I did not read this authors other works) the two books in this series are pretty good, albeit they seemed maybe targeted for a slightly younger audience as the main characters are high school aged. I know this author for some brutal, gory shocking works so my initial expectations were slightly skewered. I did decide to lay that aside and read these books with an open mind and found them quite enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the twins unique gifts, it gave the books a slightly supernatural undertone at times. Overall a good read.
I was disappointed that In the course of both books there was no answer to what really happened with the bus accident. The book leads you down that path and then just seems to forget about it. Perhaps there will be another works that answers these
