Plot Twist!

Don't you just love a good plot twist?  As Reggie was helping take care of her mother after she was found, Neptune struck again.  He hadn't taken anyone or committed one of the repeated crimes in 25 years.  And this time, he struck Reggie's childhood friend Tara.  Tara's hand appeared at the police station, just as the others had 25 years prior.  Now, Reggie has five days to try to save her friend.  The plot continues to thicken when Reggie discovers a newspaper article in her mom's bedroom about Tara's hand.  It had been cut from the newspaper and included a few words written by hand: "Regina is next."  I found an interesting website on plot twists.  If you go to this site, there are various types of plot twists you see in literature and film along with clever nicknames for them.  I would call this plot twist a "Didn't see that coming."  I thought the novel was going to be about her mother's recovery and how their relationship rebuilds, but instead it is turning into more of a crime thriller!  I can't wait to see what happens next!

  1. Everyone loves a good plot twist in a book. I recently read one that had the same kind of twist.
