Can Mandy really protect these boys until someone comes back, or will secrets be buried deeper in darkness if she fails? All Mandy wants is to have Angel back, but she's not coming back like in their games they played. An interesting and short novel to kill some time with if you have nothing else to do. I give this book a 3 words out of 5 for the mystery.
