About Book

Mallory's life is falling apart. Her boyfriend was stabbed. He bled to death in her kitchen. Mallory was the one who stabbed him. But she can't remember what happened that night. She only remembers the fear . . .
When Mallory's parents send her away to a boarding school, she thinks she can escape the gossip and the threats. But someone, or something, has followed her. There's the hand that touches her shoulder when she's drifting off to sleep. A voice whispering her name. And everyone knows what happened. So when a pupil is found dead, Mallory's name is on their lips. Her past can be forgotten but it's never gone. Can Mallory live with that?

My Thoughts

Whilst I had read that this book was a let down i still decided to give it a go. Well.....im very glad i did. I absolutely adored it and couldn't put it down. With a baby its hard to find the time to read but i managed it and read this book in no time. All in all i book i did really enjoy. 9/10 for this book. I will be buying it as soon as i get the chance.

Spoilers ahead so unless you have read it then just take my word for it and read it. it is a fantastic read.

Mallory seemed numb from it all, like you would be after such a scaring and shocking thing happening. Though she might not have loves Brian he was still her boyfriend and she did kill him. Mallory's parents didn't seem to know how to deal, yet really who does. Her mum was cold and distant and unsure of what to make of it all where her dad was taking charge trying to work and keep everything together whilst worrying about both his wife and daughter. As an only child im sure her parents were even more upset because they would have put everything into Mallory and she had the possible chance of going to jail for a very long time. Thankfully that didn't happen because it was self deference. 

So after a few incidents her parents decide it would be best for her to go to boarding school, it was both a great decision and a bad one. It changed Mallory's life in so many way. She left behind her parents and her best friend (whom is fantastic and stuck by her through everything) to go to a school where she had no one. 

Being there she found Reid (OMG I totally love him) she isn't sure what to make of it since the incident at his fathers funeral but in the end its just wrong time wrong place and it ended what could have been a great friendship or possibly relationship for them both, thankfully by the end i think she was getting him.

So the murder.....dead guy found in room with wrist slit, using Mallory's knife she stole and lost and turns out to be the girls he has abused, one being his half sister. 

so with that all sorted out we move onto her finding her best friend....with both legs broken almost dead thanks to those girls. Thankfully she lives and im glad for it. She is the kind of best friend every girl wants, i just happen to be lucky enough to have :) (love you Nikki) so it ends with Mallory deciding to go back to the boarding school, not sure if its a good thing or not but it could be, she needed to be away from her town and she has Reid. Arh I swoon a little hearing his name.
