After the two of them are released Ryan decides he wants revenge, which ruffles quite a few feathers. Suddenly every crime in town is being laid at their feet.
Ryan and Toni have a target on their backs yet again. Knowing the truth about what happened isn't the same as being able to prove it.
One of the things that really annoyed me was the reaction of the parents. No compassion for Toni at all. Not an inkling of doubt about the fact she has become a vicious killer overnight.
I'm sure there are quite a few readers who have grown up in a situation where the youngest daughter is treated like a 'butter wouldn't melt' princess.
Fact is Toni tried to warn her parents, especially her mother, but she wouldn't listen. It's easier to presume the guilt of the elder daughter than question that of the supposedly innocent younger daughter.
The other issue was the way Toni reacted to them being in her house and her room. Seriously? Come on now. They would have been flying out backwards if it had been me, and the sister would have experienced my wrath. Don't ever mess with the inner sanctum.
The plot is fine, a bit predicable perhaps, but the writing is a bit on the amateur side. Way too she said, he said.
