This is a book I think lots of teens will enjoy. Mystery, murder, blaming others, new step-parent, etc. The book moves quickly through the plot from introducing Kiana and her friends, to a murder, blaming others, standing up for what is right, finding the real killer and the girl being saved! I enjoyed this book.
