You will be hooked and one could easily say that, this series will be seriously addictive. The stories of friendship and love run deep and you won't be able to guess the outcome until it starts to unravel itself near the end. Well developed characters and a well throughout storyline. Abby (the main, character) will draw you in and haunt you. Verday, brings, Abby to "life" on the pages on this book.
