For fans of Pretty Little Liars, Little Monstersis a new psychological thriller, from the author of The Darkest Corners, about appearances versus reality and the power of manipulation amongst teenage girls. Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey s new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls she s even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them. Which is why it s so odd when they start acting distant. And when they don t invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn't exactly feel like an accident. But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn t seem so welcoming after all especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers. Kacey is about to learn some very important lessons: Sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes when you re the new girl, you shouldn t trust anyone.

Book 98🎧
I love a thrilling YA😌My guilty pleasure.
I had my suspicions on the killer but the author definitely takes you for a few turns first!

Is there such a thing as “best friends”? It is everyone just looking to protect themselves…🔪

This book was twisty and dark. I loved it. The characters felt fleshed out and the ending left me satisfied.

This book was definitely hard to put down. The mystery built through the book to lead up to a really unforgettable ending. I didn‘t figure it out right away and the clues and pieces of the story that built up to the revelation of what happened, really worked well and I really enjoyed everything about it. Definitely a great twisty story!

I was hooked to this story from the first page.

Usually I can figure out the twist early in but this one actually had me guessing until I got a few chapters towards the end.

Great YA Mystery/thriller read!

@PagesByTheWater thank you so much for my package! I love everything and these books have been on my wishlist forever! I can‘t wait to read them. I‘ve never had chocolate covered popcorn but they are two things I love to snack on and can‘t wait to try it. I loved your messages on each gift and they made me smile. Thank you again!

3.8/5 🌟

Manipulation, jealousy, gossip, betrayal, obsession & 3 teenage girls with social/emotional issues, what could possible go wrong??

A thrilling & suspenseful page-turner that will keep you guessing. I really enjoyed it but the ending felt a bit rushed & bland.

This YA thriller had me on the edge of my seat until the very last page. Just when I thought I may have figured everything out, another twist was thrown in. Can't wait to see what this author writes next!

I spent the first 26 years of my life living in #Wisconsin and this quote is 100% accurate.

There is a small part of me that will always miss Wisconsin, but I‘ll take Virginia winters over Wisconsin‘s any day.

A great YA mystery/thriller involving the disappearance of a high school girl. Little Monsters keeps you on your toes and is a thrilling read. I stayed up pretty late reading it last night and couldn't fall asleep because the book was all I was thinking about. This book did not disappoint!

Seriously what is our with me picking books with endings that make me want to scream WTF. The rest of the book was well done then you get to the conclusion and it's a complete cluster of information with no order.

Once again, work derails my reading. I have the day off. I want to read. I have ALL of these books that sound awesome plus a bunch of ebooks and yet I don't feel like reading any of them. At least they look pretty sitting there on the shelf.

Chachic So many library books! I'd say I was jealous but I've gotten used to not having access to a good public library. 7y
Zelma This how I've been feeling lately too. I can't settle on a book and have been in more of a tv mood. Ugh! I hate that. 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Zelma I've watched a lot of HGTV home flipping shows today. I've also spent a bunch of my birthday money one-clicking books I may never read since I can't seem to find the right one. It is very frustrating! 7y
See All 8 Comments
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic I am extremely lucky! You are the master of Kindle deals, though! I "bought" that freebie you mentioned yesterday (or was it two days ago...I can't keep track of time.) 7y
Zelma @MarriedtoMrT I'm an HGTV addict too! That's my plan for evening if I can't find a book to settle on. Plus Mr. Z and I have been obsessed with The Walking Dead and binge watching lately. 7y
Chachic @MarriedtoMrT I'm always on the lookout for Kindle deals! I think most Filipino readers are like me.😂 7y
Chachic Oh and I watch k-drama when I'm not in the mood to read. 7y

After WTSN, I'm having another book slump (I lost my YA fantasy binge momentum 😭) so kfine, will dive back into contemporary, and change it up a bit with #LittleMonsters. Here's to hoping I beat the slump!
