Review - Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas (NO SPOILERS)

Title: Dangerous Girls

 

Author: Abigail Haas

About: Anna and her boyfriend Tate, best friend Elise and a group of their close friends set off to Aruba for spring break but paradise turns into a living nightmare when Elise is brutally murdered. Anna finds herself trapped in a foreign country, fighting for her freedom and it becomes clear that everyone is questioning her innocence, they don't just think that's she is guilty but that she is also dangerous. As the court case unfolds, the truth is about to come out, and it's more shocking than you could ever imagine.

My Thoughts: This book is written in a way that takes you back and forth through the past and present making the story very detailed. It's different to anything I've every read before (a good thing!) It's easy to feel like you are the main character, being put through the same emotions and scenes as it is very well described.

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars as when it ended it was a bit too sudden for my liking, it left me wanting and needing a little bit more to just finish it off for me. :) overall and amazing book!

Review: The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd

Title: The Madman's Daughter

Author: Megan Shepherd

About: The story is based in London in 1894 and it's about a girl named Juliet who works as a maid after a family scandal, involving her father, ruined her life. She learns that her father is still alive ad she sets out to find him to learn the truth about the scandal and all it's rumours. She finds the island o which her father is living and it is not the happy ending she was looking for but chaotic and horrific. She tries to escape the island and all that is on it but not before she finds out the true extent of her father's genius and madness that is running through her own blood.

What I loved about it: Overall - EVERYTHING! haha

in particular - the style of the writing. How the genre is kind of mystery mixed with a bit of horror with some romance thrown in for good measure. The book kept me gripped from the very first page right up until the very last page and left me wanting more. The book was unpredictable and had lots of unexpected twists at every page turn.

Rating: I give this book 5 out of 5 stars as the book couldn't have been better.

Extra note: This book is the first in a trilogy, the second book, her dark curiosity, is available now and the third and final book, a cold legacy, is expected to be published on January 27th 2015.
