Vesper

7.8/10 stars

Vesper is quite the interesting novel. At first I was not grabbed by the story, but as it progressed, I became intrigued. The story centers around a girl named Emily Webb, a girl who has never done anything bad in her entire life; yet, the first night she acts out of character, another girl is killed, a girl who is also named Emily. The Emily who is still alive begins to wonder what is happening, as do the readers. Why is she suddenly different? Why are more people ending up dead? Most of all: is she even human anymore?

Though I did enjoy this novel, it was not my absolute favorite. The mystery is kept going quite well though, with a few unexpected turns. Amidst all of the predictable teen mysteries nowadays, this was a nice relief.

So, though this book was not my favorite, it is worth picking up if you want semi-sci-fi mystery love story.
