I loved The Shining Girls, so when I came to this book, I had high expectations. I was disappointed. So disappointed that it makes me angry.

 Firstly, when I'm reading a book where I already know who the perpetrator is from the very beginning, the story better be freaking amazing with the quality of psychological thrillers that suck you in. That doesn't happen here. 
 The plot was interesting in the beginning, when a body is found, half boy, half deer, and it might be work of a potential serial killer. This interesting plot was the reason I was drawn to the book. I wanted to read something horrifying, scary, thrilling. And this book promised all of that and delivered nothing. 
 The characters are unmemorable, boring, with problems and subplots that doesn't have anything to do with the story I was promised. A whiny teenager creating drama of her own - which was to show the horrors of cyberspace? This has nothing to do with the main story and could have been a book by itself, for anyone who wanted to read that. The only character I might remember from this book, for future reference, is Jonno, that's because I wanted to strangle him throughout the book. I fucking hate the character, I fucking hate the name, I fucking hate the words written about him. 
 The book is a tedious journey, when you know you'll get nothing from the end. Even then, I wanted it to surprise me, to redeem itself. Instead, I was shocked at how ludicrous the ending was. I could understand if it was mental illness, but NO. You are suddenly facing paranormal. Why? (hide spoiler)] 
 Horrible. It makes me angry that I lost so much time looking for something that wasn't even there. I see so many positive reviews and I wonder what I missed. I would like to be enlightened.
