The Vanishing Season by Jodi Lynn Anderson
What I knew about it at the beggining:
- One of characters is a ghost, who narrates a few chapters (and who is more lost than us about what's happening)
- The plot happens in a small town where there are girls going missing.
That was it and honestly I think that's the best way. Little by little you dive into the book without knowing what's going to happen until the very last page.
Is a story that from the beginning feels different, because even though we start with a familiar premise of a teenager moving into a small town, it doesn't follow the regular pattern since form the start she is home-schooled and the friends she makes aren't so conventional.
THE GOOD STUFF
THE GOOD STUFF- The setting of the town. You can feel the story. is like you are there feeling the cold, the old and the fear. Jodi Lynn Anderson knows how to enter you in the place of the story in such an impressive way.
- Pauline and Liam. They are so impredictible and interesting that you just feel attracted to them just like the protagonist. Although I also ended up hating them as they were quite selfish.
- Maggie's parents. Specially her dad is so funny.
¡Beware Spoilers!
THE BAD STUFF- I don't understand why she didn't followed a bit more the story about the serial killer at the end. I think she could have gotten more of it and make it more exciting. I get the author wanted to take us to an unexpected part but the ending feels kind of short after all the tension she had been building up.
- And speaking about the ending, what kind of ending is that? I was so angry when I realize who the ghost was. They don't really reconcile for what happened at the end so I can't believe that her death is a way of forgiving them. Just no. They treated her so badly so I can't accept it. It feels unfinnished because of that.
