Deadly Little Secret

It's crazy to think that people have stalkers. Legit stalkers; not just fan clubs, or wannabes, but people who may threaten your life.

In Deadly Little Secret, the main character Camilia has an ex-boyfriend who wants to get back together, a goofy jokester best friend, a drama queen best friend, and a mysterious lab partner.  On top of it all, she keeps getting creepy and suspicious messages.  Sounds like a stalker to me.  The intense scenes in the book can be scary with the suspicion that someone is always watching.

From what we know (after reading about 70% of the book), Camilia has a very suspicious lab partner.  I can't tell if the author is trying to blame the stalker on him and surprise us, or if he is the one.  However, the lab partner, and new boy in school, is named Ben and he has a thing for Camilia.  Not only does he want to keep touching her, but he needs to touch her to see the future. He has a thing called psycho.... (a long term for being able to see the future).  With it, he can sense the future and according to him Camilia's future is not pleasant.  Actually, her future is fatal.  This is where the mystery comes in and the intense suspicion among the characters is measured. 

Ben's background isn't the cleanest and most innocent, but would the author really make it so that he is the obvious victim, or could she stir things up and surprise the reader who the stalker/murderer-to-be is?  Thank goodness this story is just fiction because creepy stalkers and a lab partner with psycho-future seeing skills is not a great way to peaceful sleeping--talk about nightmares.
