Much of the suspense of the novel is Hitchcockian, in the sense of the reader knowing something the characters are ignorant of, and not knowing what their choices are going to be. For example, Kelly Ashton finds herself a single mother relying on her own alcoholic mother to help raise her daughter, stuck in the same place where she grew up, with no prospects. She looks in the mirror, "afraid she has sold herself short," but her prospects are limited to hooking up either with Russell, a loser she has a soft spot for, or taking a chance with the more promising but unpredictable (and, as the reader knows, dangerously unstable) Tristan. Invited to the 123 Club by Tristan, she tries to make the best of her situation, but she has only limited control over it; the suspense here is whether she will choose the more dangerous option and go home with Tristan. This book has got me hooked and I Can't put it down its amazing and i can't wait till Vince reaches the 123 Club to teach Russel a lesson.
All in all this book is very good and compelling to read. It makes me nervous and even at times i had to put it down just because of all that was happening within the book.
