But, there’s a note on the doormat with letters cut out from a magazine. This note is to Sonny and says “Your Heart Will Be Mine” they all think its a sick joke besides Lylah. And while their out they get another note saying “Tick Tock Sonny” Until, Sonny doesn’t come home that night. On the 3rd of February he’s found dead by Lylah and Chace.
They get another note on the 4th but this time it’s for Isaac.. Saying “Your Turn”. But he wasn’t next. There neighbor Nora was and, the roommates don’t understand why she was next when the note said Isaac. But that’s not the end of it.

On the 12th of February, a cop that was sitting outside the house is found dead. They then get another note saying “Met Me Alone Or I Strike Again”. Lylah also gets a text from an unknown number saying to meet them alone and where to meet them. She decides to work with the police and ends up regretting it because, Charlotte goes missing and is found dead the next day. After this Lylah gets fed up with the killer and how they killed Charlotte so she text the number and meets him… She then finds out the killer is her brother Riley. He tells her that he killed Sonny, Isaac, and Charlotte because she didn’t want to go home on valentines day. Which just happened to be the anniversary of their parents death. Also, because they stole his sisters heart. He also tries and set up Lylah so he can kill Chace but ends up stabbing Lylah instead.
How the book ended is they flash forward to a year later Lylah is dating Chace and they are happier. Riley went to a Psychiatric Hospital and, is getting transferred to a different on on valentines day but… Lylah gets a hand delivered note saying “You Will Be Mine Sis”. They end up getting a call from the police saying he has escaped and they are trying to find him.
I overall loved this book because of how real it was and how the author made it seem like you were actually there and, how the book had good visuals with the notes. Also, how at the end of each chapter you were always on the edge of your seat and wanted to read more to find out what happens. However, I didn’t like how over reading the book you thought the killer was “Jake” but it was really Riley but, loved how it was over the course of 15 days and at the beginning of each chapter she said what day it was. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves mystery because, that’s what it’s based on. Also, to people that love to be on the edge of their seats because, after every chapter you want to read on and find out what happens.
