*Amazon Blurb* 

One by one, the students of Osborne High are dying in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasing and grotesque flair. As the terror grows closer and the hunt intensifies for the killer, the dark secrets among them must finally be confronted.


*Review*

It's nice to have finally found an audio book that I could listen to. You never realize how important a narrator is until you are trying to listen to someone talk for hours.

This was a good book that flowed nicely. It was easy to follow who the characters were and what was going on...a series of murders. The main characters, Makani and Ollie, seemed to have quite a realistic teenage relationship who also harbored secrets. Could one of them be committing these murders, and why? Although there were a couple characters who I thought might be the murderer, at the same time I didn't think it was them because it was too easy. It also seemed there was no connection between the murders. I was surprised about who the killer turned out to be.

*Review*

Another book by this team that I was unable to put down once I started reading. The chapters go back and forth between the two main characters, Jessica and Dr. Shields, in the first person. They are short which is one of the reason is was so easy and fast to read. The other reason was the suspense. 

Jessica is your average girl, living an average life while working an average job. Like many of us, she has a dark secret that she's never shared with anyone, that is, until she meet Dr. Shields.
After sneaking into a study to earn a bit of cash on the side, Jessica eventually realizes that nothing in life is free or easy. What starts off as just a an anonymous survey on morals and ethics turns into a test on her own. Jessica doesn't understand the tests that Dr. Shields asks of her, but she does know that the extra money would really help her parents out.

How many secrets would you share with a stranger? How many tests to you do, that go against your beliefs, for a little extra money? And the biggest questions of all, how do you get out a situation where there seems to be no out in sight?

Undead Girl Gang by Lilly Anderson

Undead Girl Gang

by Lilly Anderson





Rating (1-5) - 📘📘📘
Genre - Teen, Horror, Zombie
Format - Hardcover
Pages - 305

*Amazon Blurb* 

Meet teenage Wiccan Mila Flores, who truly could not care less what you think about her Doc Martens, her attitude, or her weight because she knows that, no matter what, her BFF Riley is right by her side. So when Riley and Fairmont Academy mean girls June Phelan-Park and Dayton Nesseth die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life.
Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders. But they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer...before the killer strikes again.


*Review*

What do you do when you best friend dies and everyone is claiming it was part of some suicide pat she has with two other girls that weren't even her friends? You bring her back from the dead to ask of course. But when you're young and not really sure of how to use magic things don't always go as planned. That's exactly what happened with Mila. Not only did she bring back her best friends, who can't remember any details about her death, but also June and Dayton who aren't even in the same clique.
Not there are three dead girls running around while Mila is trying to help them figure out why they died. Was school so bad that they couldn't take it anymore? Did someone hate them that much? All the questions that Mila has and the girls (especially June and Dayton) seem to care less about getting answers.
I thought this book was cute, but not much more than that. It's not easy to guess right in the beginning if the girls committed suicide or if they were murdered, but it also doesn't take long to figure it all out, thought a little longer to know all the details.
The ending seemed to drag on a bit longer than needed, but overall I still enjoyed it.

*Blurb from Amazon


A night out. A few hours of fun. That’s all it was meant to be. 
They call themselves the May Mothers—a group of new moms whose babies were born in the same month. Twice a week, they get together in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for some much-needed adult time. 
When the women go out for drinks at the hip neighborhood bar,they are looking for a fun break from their daily routine. But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine. Now he is missing. What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, during which secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are destroyed. 

*Review*

New moms find it hard to get a break from their newborns. It seems that the days are just a blur of feeding, diaper changes and not much sleep. So, is it ok to go out for just a couple hours for a change of pace? The May Mothers think it is and everyone seems to be having a good time, except for Winnie who can't stop thinking (and watching via video) about her 6 week old baby Midas. So when Midas is kidnapped it seems that Winnie must have had something to do with it, but did she? If she didn't, then who did? Go on a journey of a mothers nightmare to try and find her child. Can you guess who did it? The ending was far from what I thought.

The book features different characters as the main point of view which I enjoy because it makes the book read faster.
