The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas

The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas-384 pages

I had read both The Darkest Corners and Little Monsters by Kara Thomas (I also met her back in April along with Veronica Roth), so I wanted to read her latest book. I was not disappointed. She is good at keeping the suspense going and keeping it interesting. I was eager to find out what really happened to the cheerleaders of Sunnybrook High School throughout the book and was not disappointed in the reveal/ending. Kara Thomas is a good teen true crime mystery writer.

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas-336 pages

I read The Darkest Corners, also by Kara Thomas, so I wanted to read her other recent novel (also, it counts for this month's mystery challenge). I think I like The Darkest Corners a little more, but this is not a bad read, though. It is suspenseful and gives some insight into teenage friendships and how a killer can be someone unexpected, especially if he or she is manipulated and provoked. It, also, explores our (most of us anyway) basic need to be and feel loved by someone. Overall, it is a good, suspenseful read.
