I believe that you are right - her moralistic thinking was a fit for her background - maybe it was just a hair too explicit for me, thus making me feel more like I was being "talked to" rather than just listening in on her inner dialogue. That said, I have no doubt that this book will be in great demand in my library both with my horror fans and my girls who like to read about the "horror of teenage-ness." Did Bliss remind you at all of Cap in Schooled?

The voice worked for me, but I was so enraptured by the good horror story plot that the voice would have had to been REALLY off for me to even notice;) See, I thought Bliss was portrayed as a total innocent, whose voice was moralistic and somewhat simple because she had been so sheltered.
