    About this ebook

    MIRA KENT IS nearing her 16th birthday and wants to know more about a father she doesn't remember. Her mother tells her she has all his good qualities, but isn't specific. With nothing but a photo of her father, Mira wants more. She writes him imaginary notes:

    Daddy, darling, where are you? I need you in my life. Aren't you curious about me? About school? I have a boyfriend named Dylan. Mom says you both made the decision during the divorce that you wouldn't be part of my life. It was easier, she says. It hasn't been easier for me. Look for me, dearest Daddy, and I'll look for you. I'll look until I find you.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Mira Kent seems to have it all, a loving mother, a grandmother who makes killer waffles, two best friends, Sarah and Dylan, and a budding romance with Dylan. What more could she want? Finding her daddy. She has not seen him since she was three, and her mother and grandmother evade her questions about him. She discovers a photo album containing pictures of her with her father. She also finds her parents’ marriage certificate and is shocked to learn her father’s real name and that her mother and grandmother have been lying to her all these years. It doesn’t dawn on her that they may have been avoiding the questions for very good reasons. After she, Sarah, and Dylan track down information about her dad, her friends urge her to be cautious after she emails him and they plan to meet. Mira does not make the connection when frightening and bizarre events occur: her dog is cruelly murdered and their neighbor sees a strange man with a ski mask skulking around the house at night. Even after her mother and grandmother are viciously attacked, Mira refuses to see the coincidence and insists on keeping the appointment with her father at the airport. This flaw strains credulity in the book. The character development is good and the climax keeps the pages turning. Give this book to readers who love scary thrillers and they will probably overlook Mira’s naïveté about finding her daddy.
