3.5 Stars

ABOUT THE BOOK -
When Bridget finds a dead cheerleader in the janitor’s closet, she becomes the killer’s next target. High school just got worse. It’s bad enough that she can hear the shocking truths that pass through her classmate’s heads. Now she has to worry about staying alive, and all clues point to the one person whose thoughts she can’t read - her boyfriend Terrence. Someone is taunting her, threatening to expose her secret. And when Bridget tries to single out her blackmailer, she’s nearly beaten to death by a mind controlled minion with fiery eyes.

But when Bridget finally comes face-to-face with the killer, suddenly a horde of brainwashed students programmed to destroy her life doesn’t seem so bad.

MY REVIEW - While I did enjoy reading this book, it was fun to read! It was a bit over the edge for me. The first half of the book I enjoyed much more, it seemed more... "normal" to me. I liked the whole being able to read minds theme (I seem to like that in books) but as soon as it started going on about mind control and taking over their bodies, that's where it stopped for me. That's where it went from a high-school girl reading thoughts, to "Invasion of the body snatchers". This actually reminded me very much of a movie my daughter and have seen a few times - "The Faculty" Its one of those movies that is really "out there" kinda dumb, but you watch it over and over anyway, its addictive!

Even though this book was "way out there" for me, I still liked it! Now, of course I am reviewing this as an adult. I do think a teen would enjoy it much better than I did. it has lots of teen appeal. There were no boring pages, great character development, smooth story line, and lots of action, and a few twists to keep nit interesting - everything a teen would like.

So, I am recommending this for teens but if you are an adult - you might still enjoy this as long as you don't plan on taking it too seriously. Just read it for fun.

Thanks to the author - Jacqueline Gardner, for sending me this e-book to read and review.
