Deadly Little Secret *Review*

Deadly Little Secret
By: Laura Faria Stolarz

Product Description:

Some secrets shouldn't be kept...
Up until three months ago, everything in sixteen-year-old Camelia's life had been fairly ordinary: decent grades; an okay relationship with her parents; and a pretty cool part-time job at the art studio downtown. But when Ben, the mysterious new guy, starts junior year at her high school, Camelia's life becomes anything but ordinary.

Rumored to be somehow responsible for his ex-girlfriend's accidental death, Ben is immediately ostracized by everyone on campus. Except for Camelia. She's reluctant to believe the rumors, even when her friends try to convince her otherwise. She's inexplicably drawn to Ben...and to his touch. But soon, Camelia is receiving eerie phone calls and strange packages with threatening notes. Ben insists she is in danger, and that he can help--but can he be trusted? She knows he's hiding something... but he's not the only one with a secret.

From the best-selling author of Blue is for Nightmares comes a story of paranormal romance that's sure to be a thrilling and chilling teen favorite.

Laura Faria Stolarz has done it again. I'm really interested in seeing how this series is going to be a trilogy considering the ending of this book. The first chapter caught my attention right away and out of the three books I bought at the book store that day this was the first one I read.

Throughout the whole book I was trying to figure out the mystery (and failed) and was kept on my toes the whole time. Stolarz's character were very good and interesting though I could definitely see some traits between Blue is For Nightmare's Amber and Kimmie. The characters kept me interested and it was really nice how we got to read little notes from the clearly crazy stalker.

I read this book in one night and my only complaint is that it really was too short. About 250 pages, it's really not worth the price. It is a good book though, but I've hold out until it comes out in paperback if you want to buy it. I'm definitely buying the next book though!

Overrall Rating: 7.5/10
 Good read, good mystery, kinda disappointing ending and too costly. Definitely borrow it from a friend or library or buy it when it's comes out in paperback though.
