Always check the genre!! Just because the library says "suspense" doesn't mean there isn't another genre hiding in there too. Like the surprise m/m action the synopsis failed to mention! But, plot happened and it WAS a murder mystery. Very Law and Order-esq. 3/5 stars. I wasn't ready for the man love and I need to be in the right mindset for erotica. I just wanted a whodunit. Hot though.

Help me!? I have decided that my children need more books and it is impossible for me to shop for books for others. I get distracted and end up with 30 new books for me. What are a couple good series for a 10 and super advanced 6 year old? My friend mentioned Captain Underpants, but the title makes me cringe. I'm thinking more along the lines of Phantom Tollbooth.

BookBabe How about Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys? 7y
BookBabe For the 10 year old, maybe 7y
Megabooks I loved these as an advanced child in secondish grade. 7y

Megabooks Choose Your Own Adventure books may be good for the 10 year old if they still have them, plus my friend's third grader likes Goosebumps 7y
GilbertGrape I forgot to mention they're boys and they love zombies and other fantastical things. Goosebumps is a great suggestion and my 6 year old would gobble those up. I believe he might be a miniature version of me 😍 7y
BookishMarginalia It's okay to cringe at the title "Captain Underpants" but consider getting it anyway (plus the kids will really get a kick out of your discomfort AND learn a valuable lesson about non-censorship) ?? 7y
GilbertGrape @BookishMarginalia I work at the newspaper. I suppose I should encourage them to fight censorship. 7y

I'm pretty new to the thriller/suspense genre and I have to say, this book was a pretty good place to start. It led me on a twisty, fast-paced journey that I could NOT walk away from.

I read the Delirium series after this. It made me feel better. YA fiction is hard-core these days, y'all!
