Don't Look Behind You

Her ability to build suspense in a YA setting is impressive. I wonder what motivated her to explore themes of trust and danger for young readers.

The tension seemed to dip before the climax, which made me curious if that was a deliberate choice to deepen character development or just a pacing hiccup.

The isolated house and rural backdrop add to the feeling of vulnerability. I wonder how much of that was planned versus evolving during the writing process.
