I don't what my daughter thought of this book, or if she ever even actually read it. Now that I've read it myself I realize it's not a Young Adult book, and she was only 13 at the time I received it for her. I think she'd read A Separate Peace in school, so I think I just assumed this author's books were written for teens.

Anyway, that aside, I just finished reading this myself today. In the beginning it was ok. Brendan Lucas has rented a villa while on vacation, and is to be joined there by his sister, her fiance who is also his best friend, his mother, and the fiance's sister. Neville, the cook, came with the house, and is a very odd duck.

The book read smoothly but the story pretty much slid right out of my mind when I put the book down. Neville's behaviour becomes more and more erratic, and the last third of the book was pretty gripping.

I've signed up for an ABC book box (Already Been BookCrossed), so I'll probably put this in the box when it gets to me.
