I'm disappointed because this was a book with an interesting premise and great small-town horror atmosphere with a main character that I actively wanted to die. I absolutely cannot stand stupid main characters who lack basic common sense and decision making skills. Lola's thoughts are incredibly childish and repetitive, she actively alienates herself from those who want to befriend and help her, her relationship with her father is strange yet underdeveloped, and she constantly puts herself in danger against her better judgement. 

I also love a good ambiguous, smart ending, but this one was a little too hasty and unexplained for it to be considered clever. Between Mary Ann, what actually happened to the missing girls, the real explanation of Mister Jitters...it's all too open. Which is a bummer, because the idea of Mister Jitters is really creepy and intriguing, despite the kinda dumb name. All in all, this book took a good idea and good beginning and drove it into the ground.
