This book is about a girl named Jenna Blake who is an autopsey assistent who is pulled into the thrill of finding out how people died and why. In this book similar deaths keep appearing and Jenna needs to figure it out before someone else dies and adds to the mystery. Yet all her medling wasn't a good thing this time and she has to undercover who is the murder before she's getting killed.
This book was super!! Everyone would love it, its your classic thriller and it always provides a good twist at the end. its really exciting and you will have to stay up at night to finish this, because once its started the mystery pulls you in and your glued to the book untill you can finish it and discover who is the killer.
