Kyle Kirby has planned a cruel and unusual revenge on Cass McBride, the most popular girl in school, for the death of his brother David. He digs a hole. Drugs Cass. Kidnaps her. Puts her in a box-underground. He buries her alive. But Kyle makes a fatal error: Cass knows the power of words. She uses fear as her weapon to keep her nemesis talking - and to keep herself breathing during the most harrowing 48 hours of her life.
A vivid, complex, and insightful work of suspense, this fast-paced psychological thriller is "Gail Giles at her best" says Mary E. Pearson, author of A Room on Lorelei Street.
MYREVIEW
This was an ok book,nothing too exciting, at least not for me. It was a fast paced and easy read,I'm sure most will like it. Kyle's little brother David has comitted suicide and Kyle is looking for someone to blame. He blames it on Cass McBride,the popular girl at school(whom David asked out and was turned down by), and kidnaps her. The police go to all her family and friends to learn about who Cass is and why someone would kidnap her. Meanwhile Kyle has seeked his revenge by burying Cass alive. They soon get to talking and Kyle discovers it's not Cass fault but someone elses the whole time.
