So absobing! Im obsessed!
A brilliant page-turner. I just couldn't put it down. Again, the perfect balance between Mystery, Thriller and Romance. I keep recommending it to all the pupils and Teachers.
A perfect mystery! I liked the way the main character was a role model for teens (intended audience), the book was suspenseful. Would recommend it to older secondary school pupils and above as it refers to sexual assault, drugs and suicide (no descriptions though).
A pleasing twisty, suspenseful crime novel. Marvellous.
Excellent take on the murder mystery genre. Pitched just right to not fall into the predictable category and I like the perspective shifts.
