Goodreads Summary:
“Find Me.”
These are the words written on Tessa Waye’s diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa’s just been found . . . dead.
Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target.
Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick. Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick’s deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step?
Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.
But she’s going to find this killer no matter what.
Because it just got personal

My
Thoughts:
I was really looking forward to reading Find
Me, it sounded mysterious and
creepy, definitely something that was up my
alley. But, for me this one was just ok. I never completely connected with
Wicket or Wick, the main character. I also expected a bit more action
throughout the story and the intensity and twists didn't really happen till
towards the end which finally got me excited about the story and on the edge of
my seat.
Wicket and Lily are finally starting their lives over, they are finally
away from their criminal daughter and in their new foster home. Tessa is a
hacker and she has been dropped into the middle of a creepy game that has
already claimed the life of her former best friend Tessa Waye. For some reason
Tessa's diary lands in the hands of Wick, she finds out that her sister Lily is the next target of the man
who has already claimed Tessa.
Wicket was definitely a tough
girl, she had so many walls put up to keep everyone out and she and her sister
really had a hard road to walk in their lives and it was the only way that she
knew how to cope. She wasn't ready for her new life, her foster parents wanted
to adopt her and her sister, she wanted to let them in and she knew that her
sister was really happy with them and wanted Wick to feel the same way. I don't
know why but, maybe the walls that Wick put up made it hard for me as a reader
to connect with her as well. At times she felt like she wasn't feeling anything
with everything that was going around her, she just took it in stride and kept
on going.
The romance between Wick and
her love interest Griff really didn't add anything to the story for me. Griff
was obviously intrigued by Wick and he was willing to help her no matter what
and he had secrets of his own that made him mysterious but, I never really felt
the chemistry or the connection between the two of them.
Overall, most of Find Me was
just ok for me, once the action began I was sucked into the story and it
redeemed itself a bit for me in the end but, I wanted more action throughout
the story to make me excited and invested more in the story.

Oh that's too bad it didn't really do anything for you. I've been seeing some good and not-so reviews for this one though. :)
