What an amazing debut into the ya thriller world from Julie Soto!! I am honestly shocked at how much I enjoyed this. I’m not typically a reader of thrillers, as I get too emotionally invested in my books and genuinely get stressed out. But this was such a treat.

13 Reason’s Why type of energy, but with a hefty dose of mystery and suspense a la Veronica Mars. Jodi, our main character, wasn’t the typical “completely innocent” main character that I feel like I constantly read about when I was in my thriller phase when I was around 14ish. She’s kind, and genuinely is trying to do her best to be a good person, but she’s a 17 year old and is inherently a little bit selfish. Some of those selfish decisions have negative effects on others, and she has to learn how to deal with the consequences. I love a three dimensional character!! I wish some of the other characters were a bit more fleshed out, but it’s a YA thriller & any more of the other characters probably would have distracted from the main storyline lol.

The Thrashers was a roller coaster ride from start to finish. At no point did I know where we would end up. I’m holding onto the hope of us getting a sequel so we can get that. (That ending?!?!? My jaw is still on the floor.)

St. Martin’s Press & Wednesday Books deserve first dibs on my firstborn for giving me an eARC of this one. Thank you!!!
