This is actually my first Trish Doller book and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. You all know how hard it is for me to get into YA contemporary, and it's even harder for me to really like a thriller/suspense, but Trish did a great job with this one. Sure, I totally saw everything coming, but I tend to do that regardless. Trish still wrote an engaging and entertaining story that kept me glued to the pages. 
 I've read quite a few books where the protagonist is from a small town, trying to get out, and they're basically on the cusp of adulthood. They're usually just okay for me, but something about this one stood out for me. I really liked Arcadia. She's basically had to manage her dad's grocery store and take care of her younger brother ever since he mentally checked out after her mother died. Ever the responsible teen, it's understandable she wanted a night out to be carefree and reckless. Sure, the thought of traveling with strangers on a whim was insane, but it fit with her wanting to "live" and I've seen people do worse. I think she should've been a little more smart about it (i.e. her cell phone and paying attention to her friend), but people do crazy things when they're desperate and she was desperate for an adventure. 
 The thriller aspect was pretty good. It's very subtle, but not at all boring, despite the answers being RIGHT THERE. The bad things happen sporatically throughout the book, but at key points that help you easily figure out who the killer is, but it could also have you second guessing yourself. I liked the little twists and turns Trish placed in as the story progressed. I also liked how she wove romance into the book. It's pretty heavy, but in a believable way. I was totally rooting for Noah and Cadie the whole time and it was fun watching them stop and go and develop as the book progressed. 
 I can't put my finger on exactly what it was about this book that had me flipping the pages, but I guess it was more of an overall thing. All the pieces worked well together and blended into a great story with intriguing characters. I'll definitely be trying out more of Trish's books in the future.
