I started this series with the prequel. I don't usually do that, because there isn't always enough information in a prequel to let me get to know the characters and feel for them. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I connected with Kaylee immediately.

Kaylee and her family think she is crazy. She gets these "panic attacks" for seemingly no reason. But there is something fishy going on. If she is able to get away from the area, she can usually calm back down. But one day she can't get away and she starts screaming her head off. Wailing. In a mall. And she is institutionalized.

I was panicking right along with her. And you meet another person, Lydia, who I think will show up again later on. There is something funny about that girl ...

I don't want to say too much more, as it is a short novella. But it is a great lead into the first book ...
