Story
Working at the mall is supposed to be fun. Trish’s job at Muffin-Mania is hardly intellectually challenging and her boss is a piece of work, but it’s worth it to have a job in the same building as her two best friends, the Hanson twins. And the hot guys who hang out there are an added bonus. But something isn’t right about this mall. It’s the oldest mall in the state, remodeled over a dozen times without rhyme or reason, and there are many strange nooks and secret passages behind the bright gleaming storefronts. Someone has been stealing housewares, furniture, and food, and now a mysterious man with ash-gray hair and a whisper-soft voice has started harassing Trish on the phone.

Thunder bellows as Jenny and her father pull up to the gate of Worthington Hall. As they inch onto the grounds of the ancient estate, a disheveled young woman thrusts her head through the open window. "Leave!" she yells. "Before it's too late! He'll kill you. I swear." Jenny is terrified, but her dad laughs it off. The girl is just an actress - part of the medieval fair being held on the castle grounds. But it's not long before Jenny wishes they'd heeded the warning.

Editorial reviews
Bored and dissatisfied with her job at the public library, Kathleen is jolted out of her ennui when five overdue books are returned to the library, slashed and containing a warning to all library employees. Narrator Judith West uses her mature, slightly raspy voice to great effect, shifting her tone to match the gradual buildup of suspense as the people around Kathleen begin to die in suspicious accidents. While West is particularly adept at the older characters' voices, her Kathleen rings charmingly true with a teenager's resentfulness and occasional petulance.

Narrator
I enjoyed the story itself. The villain was definitely a shocker. I didn’t suspect that person up until close to the reveal.
The narrator made the story a bit annoying to hear. You can tell she’s older, so every character sounded way older than they should. There was also barely any difference between the male and female characters. I enjoy when Tara Sands is the narrator. She’s really good at making the characters distinct and sound their age.

I couldn’t only listen to this book in small sections, id even skip over listening and forgot about it for a month or 2 and came back to listen and remembered why I didn’t care to finish it. The narration was so hard to listen to for me. Made everything drag on.

Eh! Just okay in every way.
Kathleen works at a library. She is closing up one night when mysterious things begin to happen. She gets strange phone calls, finds eerie clues, and her friends begin to experience danger.
The plot of this story sounded perfect. I was hoping for something a bit on the supernatural side, but sadly this is just a thriller. The effectiveness of a thriller hangs on "the big reveal", and I just did not buy the villain.
The book maintains suspense, and Ms. Tankersley Cusick is a good writer, but overall this book was not that scary or believable. I also did not care for the wedged-in romance.
