The Thrashers

pick

'The Thrashers' is a solid YA horror novel. The novel follows the aftermath of a teen's suicide. Some believe the social group known as The Thrashers is responsible. It nicely straddles the boundary between reality and ghostly revenge until the very end of the book. I had an issue with the end, but it wasn't that grave. The narration was great as well.
4 stars. Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC.

LibrarianRyan This book was addicting. It was very easy to keep listening once it got started. For me the final wrap up in the last hour was kind of like that‘s it but at the same time that‘s kind of how life is. I do like the epilogue. There is a bit of a supernatural element wound throughout this book and you‘re constantly wondering if this is supposed to be a sci-fi book or if the kids are just freaking out. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you ar 6d
