Review: Don't Forget To Breathe

Don't Forget To Breathe by Cathrina Constantine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Leocadia (Leo) discovers her mother's mutilated corpse in the master bedroom one day after school, Leo's world and her dad's collapses. Neither can scarcely function, but sometimes life is just a matter of survival, of placing one foot in front of the other and staying upright. Dad dissolves into weepiness and paranoia about Leo's whereabouts, while Leo resorts to controlled substances, and the friendship of a strange new neighbor named Henry, whom no one else really likes. After a year, a slight glimmer of light might be coming into Leo's life, till she discovers suddenly that she's not in control of deciding between reality and fantasy, she doesn't know what is illusion, Henry is acting really strangely; and suddenly, more corpses are turning up, too close to home. Something is going on and since her mother's murderer was never discovered, Leo and her father are terrified that that killer has returned. For whom?
