I still remember the hair standing up on the back of my neck as I read the pages, not because it was scary but because the writing was so damned brilliant, and in addition, I fell madly in love with Maxie myself. I hope Melissa is writing a follow-up because this is one of the best written books I've ever read by a fairly new writer.
