HauntedShelfScavengerHunt

Good Girl's Guide to Murder | Holly Jackson

pick

Five years ago a high school senior disappeared. Although her body was never found, police decided that she was murdered by her boyfriend, who committed suicide a few days later. However, Pip - who is now a high school senior herself - has never believed that the boyfriend was the murderer. With the help of the boyfriend's younger brother, she sets out to reexamine the evidence. I really liked the format of this book, with parts of it Pip's notes⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) some in the form of transcripts of people she was interviewing, and other sections just regular third-person narration. It did drag a little in the middle, but I really did want to find out what happened and I liked the way the different pieces of evidence kept shifting the pointing finger. While the ending did make sense on the whole, I was actually convinced that it fit the personalities of the characters. There were also a few things ⬇ 1mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I found kind of unbelievable/a big stretch. But on the whole, an enjoyable YA thriller, and I'll probably pick up the sequel soon.

This was a #TrappedinaHauntedHouse pick (thanks @Charityann !!) and also my list to read for the #AcquiredViaLitsy challenge @MatchlessMarie - it was gifted to me as part of the #Bestof2021Swap by @kellyann28 back in - you guessed it - January 2022!

OriginalCyn620 Me and my youngest love this series, but I agree that some things are a big stretch! 1mo

MatchlessMarie Awesome! It seems to have a similar vibe to One of Us Is Lying series by Karen M McManus which I really enjoyed. 1mo

Silver in the Bone | Alexandra Bracken

pick

First off, how gorgeous is this OwlCrate edition?? I LOVE hardcovers with pretty (not-jacket) covers. I ended up enjoying this one more than I anticipated. The pacing was a little off for me, and the MC was a little too prickly for too long, but on the whole it was an engaging story with some twists I wasn't expecting, and I'm looking forward to picking up the sequel.

This was one of my #CasttheDie picks @PuddleJumper !!
