THE DETAILS❐
❐ SMALL TOWN MYSTERY❐ YA PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER❐ COMPELLING & UNPREDICTABLE❐ THAT FINAL REVEAL IS BANANAS❐ LENGTH OF AUDIO ➯ 9 HOURS, 39 MINUTES❐ I LISTENED ON LIBBY THROUGH MY LIBRARY
MY REVIEW IN ONE SENTENCE ➯ A YA mystery/thriller that doesn't necessarily feel like YA, with intricately plotted revelations throughout and a hella-crazy ending.
Jorjeana Marie is one of the go-to narrators in the YA genre because she does an angsty teenage girl so well. Her timbre is a tad nasally...but not too annoying for me, when you speed it up it's not so bad at all.
Kara Thomas hasn't disappointed me yet...she can really write a YA mystery/thriller story that not only keeps you guessing but also feels believable, which can be difficult in the YA genre. While I felt like they were some plotholes or elements that were not explained or lacked resolution...it's possible it was just me missing it. Honestly, maybe it is a mix of all these things.
