This book is quite creepy in a very interesting way, and I really like it. The book is about a man stalking the five Herbert sisters as they hang out and have fun with each other. In the book there were some shorter chapters and the perspectives switched around sometimes between the man and the sisters which was slightly confusing at first but I started enjoying them since I was able to learn about the characters. After one of the Herbert sisters ended up being kidnaped, and in the end there was a twist to it. The man who kidnaped her seemed really sad and lonely, and I couldn't help but feeling a bit sad for him even though he's so twisted. Overall it was a thrilling book to read.

He could be any man, any respectable, ordinary man.
But he's not.
This man watches the five Herbert girls—Beauty, Mim, Stevie, Fancy, and Autumn—with disturbing fascination.
Unaware of his scrutiny and his increasingly agitated and forbidden thoughts about them, the sisters go on with their ordinary everyday lives—planning, arguing, laughing, and crying—as if nothing bad could ever breach the safety of their family.
In alternating points of view, Norma Fox Mazer manages to interweave the lives of predator and prey in this unforgettable psychological thriller.
