Something black is inside me, lurking just out of reach. There is definitely a holistic exploration of characters in Risk which made everything well-rounded and compulsively readable. What got a big tick from me in this case is that they were present, and though Sierra missing did have an impact on her friends, especially Taylor, the adults also had an important stance in the storyline. In some books the adults are barely even mentioned, let alone play a major role in any of the developments. There is a crescendo when the adults become involved, which was an essential aspect.

The didactic nature of this novel just adds a whole other dimension and makes it a memorable one. Not only is there that 'shock' factor, but one which makes you take a step back and evaluate how you act online. There was an unexpected turn quite early on which caught me off guard, and the story took on a different path than I had anticipated. However, this almost cloying beginning soon gives way to the more sinister underlying danger which lurks behind the screen. Though many of us readers will sit there and say 'how could they be so stupid?', the truth is that some girls will fall into these traps, and at just fourteen years old - they're more vulnerable than ever. Crushes, boyfriends and school are covered.until Sierra and Taylor start talking to guys on Myster圜hat online.

This book has quite a smart construction, as from the start it seems that there's some typical teenage drama happening - two best friends, one bright and popular while the other can't take her seriously.
