My Review 5 Frienemy Stars
Alright so of course I don't read what the books are about anymore so when I started reading this one and found out that it was in the POV of both the killer and the main heroin I was freaking out in a good way! Then add in the paranormal element and well my fan girl feels were over flowing!!
This one will knock your socks off. You won't find out who the killer is until the very end then your all like OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because of something that happens. So yep this one will keep you guessing and just when you think you have it all figured out BAM you don't!
The heroine is hit by a car and now she sees everyone death. Which was so new! It was a great contemporary with a hint of the supernatural and it worked out so well! No love triangle in this one (well unless you count the stalker) And no cliffhanger however the author left it open so if she wanted to she could come back and do some more ( so wouldn't mind a book two to this one!!)
I loved how powerful Eva is. She is a no nonsense girl in the best ways. Instead of freaking out that she can see others people's deaths she makes it work for her to save her friends and those she loves. Melissa Marr has brought us a kick butt herione that would make any bad guy run for the kills and hey she's doing this with a broken leg and a cast! So how cool is that?
As for our leading man Nate can I just say SWOON! He has a checked past but, its all good. He really comes to Eva's aid and well they are so cute together.
I also have to say that I LOVED Eva's mom. Their relationship changes and evolves over the course of this book so much that it was just heartwarming and full of cuddly feels.
As for the bad guy I have to say that he is deff a villain I love to hate. He was perfect. It was interesting being in his creepy deranged mind. (someone hold me) It was a wonderful new POV to read from and I hope that this author does it again in the future.
The plot was incredible as was the end. The setting worked out well (set in our time frame so no flying cars etc here) The story flowed so well that you will be on the last page before you know it.
This is deff one book not to miss.

From the Back Cover
When Eva Tilling wakes up in the hospital, she's confused—who in her sleepy little North Carolina town could have hit her with their car? And why?
It seems impossible that anyone would have it out for the town darling. Thanks to her family's distinguished history and her own unassailable reputation in old-money Jessup, Eva is universally liked. But she has little time to consider the question when she finds that she's awoken with a strange new skill: the ability to foresee people's deaths when they touch her.
Eva is struggling to understand just what these visions mean when a slew of murders takes place back home. The victims, all classmates, are discovered alongside eerie messages that tie the incidents to her. There is a killer on the loose, and he is after Eva.
While she is recovering from the hit-and-run, Nate, an old friend, reappears. The two traverse their rocky past as they figure out how to use Eva's power to keep her friends—and themselves—alive. But while Eva and Nate grow closer, the determined killer grows increasingly frantic in his attempt to get to Eva.
