Copycat by Hannah Jayne

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. Most of the thrillers I read are for an adult audience, so I was quite interested to see how a thriller written with a teen audience in mind would differ. I also thought the premise, which involved fan fiction,…

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp  

When I read the premise of this novel, it sounded like a mystery/thriller to me. After reading it, I have to say that it definitely doesn’t fit that category – at least, not in the conventional way. Synopsis (Goodreads): Best friends Corey and Kyra were inseparable in their snow-covered town of Lost Creek, Alaska. When Corey…

A Good Idea by Cristina Moracho

I’ve read many adult thrillers but not too many that are in the realm of teen fiction. I thought it would be interesting to see how the author takes this genre and makes it appropriate for this age group. Here is my review: Fin and Betty have been best friends for longer than they can…

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

I’m a sucker for murder mysteries of all kind. But this one had a unique premise. It’s been called a mashup of The Breakfast Club and Clue. After reading this book, I couldn’t agree more. Here is my review: On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. There’s Bronwyn, an intelligent and…

Feel Me Fall by James Morris

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I promise that even though I’ve been super inactive on my blog, I’m still reading books! I’m on vacation right now and I really don’t get good wifi so having the connection necessary to write and post has been…

As Red As Blood by Salla Simukka

I read the premise of this novel months ago, but it was not available anywhere in Canada for a while. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this novel, which has been hailed as a YA version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which is one of my favorite series! Lumikki Andersson is a loner and she likes…

Pretty Fierce by Kieran Scott

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love my badass heroines. So when I read the premise and saw that this novel was about a girl whose parents are assassins, and that she is on the run, I fell in love. As the daughter of…

The Perfect Girl by Gilly Macmillan

December is my favorite month when it comes to reading. Because I know that the new year (and new books!) will be upon me shortly, I become frantic and try to get through my ever-growing pile of books to read and review. December gives me the motivation I need to sit and read book after…

A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

I love Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Ever since I first read The Hound of the Baskervilles, I have been their fan. I love watching movies and TV shows based off of the books and I am absolutely in love with Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal of Sherlock. I was so excited when I heard about this book,…
