And unless Haley can figure out what they want...she might be next.

***CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS****

This review is going to be styled a little differently then other reviews I have written for the pure fact that I don't have much to say about this book:

• The idea behind The Fade was interesting but also cliche.
• It is slow until about the 50% mark.
• The story behind the missing girls was interesting and it gets you invested in the story.
• One moments Haley is alive and the next she is dead. I feel like it was very abrupt and didn't fit into where the story was at. 
• The romance wasn't rushed, but I didn't seem based on much. I wish there was more development. 
• The last several chapters of the book moved super quickly and was where the story picked up. 
• We suddenly learn who the murderer is, Haley's dismay at it being her sister's boyfriend, and Coops sudden death. 
• After how Coop behaved through out the entirety of the novel and the fact that his actions caused Haley's death, I think it was extremely stupid for her to save him from the darkness that awaited by letting him look over her family and her going into the light. 

I hate being nit-picky in books that I read, but I am super crossed on how I feel about this book. On one hand it was a quick read that did have a creepiness factor, but that was about it.  I really hoped I was going to like this one since I have really enjoyed Lunetta's other YA titles.
