The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas 

 Five cheerleaders at Sunnybrook High died within a month, coincidence? 
 In this book you follow Monica, sister of Jen one of the cheerleaders who tragically died, on a journey of her own. Monica tries to put together the pieces of the puzzle to find out what really happened to Jen and her friends five years ago. Monica puts herself on the line to try and learn the truth however she may have gotten more than what she had bargained for. 

 Monica is a character that I personally really became fond of. Monica is dealing with struggles of her own, when she then gets asked to help contribute to putting together a memorial for the five cheerleaders. For Monica this is not easy, especially when she feels that the killer may still be out there and the people around her are lying.

 I recently picked this book up from Waterstones, the front cover itself attracted me to it instantly! This book had me gripped from start to finish. I read this book in less than twenty-four hours as I was hooked. If you enjoy a mystery book you will love this read. It is set in High school therefore it sort of aims its audience at young adolescents I think, but none the less anyone who likes this genre would be just as intrigued, I'm sure. I give this book a 4 star rating. I would have given 5 however I found myself wanting a bit more from the ending, I still have some unanswered questions. This is my first time reading a book by this author but it certainly won't be my last. I hope you enjoyed my review, thank you for reading. disappointed!

The Magpie Society, Two For Joy

  Hello 2022  🥂 I thought I’d kick of the year with a book review. Im currently in isolation due to having covid, however not all bad having the time to read without feeling I should be doing something else has been lovely!  I was gifted this book for Christmas as I was desperate to get my hands on it, which I’m sure anyone who had read the last book of The Magpie Society would have been too, after the cliffhanger we were all left on.  I couldn’t turn the pages in this book any quicker. Still trying to get to the bottom of what the magpie society is and how it links with the death of the girl at the school. Every time I thought I had it figured out something else would come along and change my thoughts.  When the mystery was coming together I still didn’t predict the ending. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. However I’m still left with questions and not 100% satisfied with the ending. My hopes are that their will be a third book in the series to ...

The Magpie Society (One For Sorrow)

                                            It has been a while since I posted anything here however I am back with a new book review! This book was right up my street. I was hooked from start to finish. I am however going to pre-warn you guys that it does end in a cliffhanger and book No. 2 is not out yet but will be this year. So if you don't like waiting maybe hang fire until the second book is released. Moving along to the storyline, it is set in a boarding school in England called Illumen Hall. It focuses on two main characters Audrey and Ivy, Audrey comes from America and is looking to leave her past behind her and Ivy has been going to Illumen Hall for years. The two end up being roommates, much to Ivy's disgust,  they eventually end up teaming up as a detective pair to track down the killer of Ivy's past friend, Lola, that the police claims to be a 'misadventure'....
