Warrior Girl Unearthed | Angeline Boulley

Pickpick

AaaaaAAAAAAAAAH!!! God, Angeline Boulley is good at weaving tons of threads together into one lush story. Perry had an excellent voice and a great journey, and I had no clue who was behind any of the mysteries. And the links to Firekeeper's Daughter were fun, too! I hope there's more to come. #yalit #yathriller

Has Ally Carter ever gotten darker in a book? So many double-crosses, so much adventure, but also an ending everyone deserves, for good or for bad. I wish Grace had had a little more formal mental health support, but damn, I'm ultimately not complaining. #reread #yalit #yathriller

See How They Run | Ally Carter

Layers and layers of intrigue topped off with an excellent unreliable narrator. I think Grace is Carter's darkest-humored heroine, which is an interesting change from her other books, too. The amateur teenage espionage crew grows, as well! #reread #yalit #yathriller

All Fall Down | Ally Carter

God, Ally Carter writes teenage girls in action situations well. Grace's mental health (or occasional lack thereof) is believable and heightens the tension perfectly, and I just love her motley crew of friends on Embassy Row. This needs to be a TV show stat. #reread #yalit #yaactionnovel #yathriller

This #YAThriller opens with best friends Cam and Blair starting a podcast for their junior year journalism class. Cam latches onto the idea of using the town‘s biggest mystery- the disappearance twenty years ago of recent high school student, Clarissa- as their subject. Fast-paced but with some head-hopping, this makes for an entertaining and exciting debut! I liked the relationships between the characters and the mystery is well-plotted!

The way I didn't see a single one of these plot twists coming, my God. What a tragedy. What beautifully complicated characters. This was good, y'all. #yalit #yathriller

The Lies We Tell | Katie Zhao

Another one where I felt like the story didn't go deep enough. The focus on anti-Asian racism was timely, but there was at least one plot hole that made the mystery not work for me. I did appreciate that this story was set at UMich without being set at UMich, tho. (Thatcher Graduate Library #iykyk 😂) #yalit #yathriller

kissmehardy Okay, upon reflection, I may have just solved the plot hole? But I still don't love it. 1y

Oh, this was good. I loved that it stayed twisty and compelling without leaning into cynicism or despair. Everyone was flawed, yes, but it wasn't a morally gray bacchanal like so many thrillers are now. #yathriller #yalit

A truly excellent thrill ride. Not sure I loved the denouement, but the open ending was fun, and I was fully immersed in the setting. #yathriller #yalit
