Review: Final Girls by Riley Sager

Final Girls by Riley Sager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Final Girls has been one of my favorite books so far this year. The pacing was so well done that I literally couldn't put the book down. There is a lot of red herrings thrown in and I liked how the author kept me guessing. The ending was so unexpected! I liked how the flashbacks built up gradually to what happened that fateful night and how it shaped the person Quincey has become. If you love thrillers that keep you guessing, this book is a must read!

Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this novel for review!

Review: The Killing Jar by Jennifer Bosworth

The Killing Jar by Jennifer Bosworth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn't read the synopsis before picking up this book, so I went into the read with no clue about what was going to happen. The characters were really great in The Killing Jar, especially the main character Kenna. The author really took the time to make Kenna relatable and sympathetic. The writing in the book was very beautiful, it almost had a lyrical quality despite the sometimes dark subject matter. The tension builds gradually and the climax really had me gripped. I was satisfied with the conclusion and thought the author did a good job tying everything together. Overall, a great YA standalone.

Review: These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker

These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun book! I've had a hard time coming across a YA book that grabs me and I was so happy to finally pick up These Vicious Masks. I found the main character Evelyn endearing from the get go and I enjoyed her inner monologue. I loved her strong will, especially since the book takes place in the Victorian era. The book had more action than romance, which I normally don't like, but I found myself completely drawn into the plot. There is a touch of romance, but things are moving too fast to have it move to the forefront of the novel. The book does end with a cliffhanger so be prepared to want to read the next book ASAP. Highly recommend.
