This book felt like a roller coaster....

There's a reason why I never reviewed the AGGGTM series, or wrote a long review of Five Survive. Holly Jackson has a way of writing the best plot twists, weaving complicated mysteries that I could never predict. Her books always leave me shocked and exhilarated, and The Reappearance of Rachel Price was no outlier.

This one features Bel, an 18-year old whose mother Rachel disappeared when she was young. A documentary is being filmed of her family, which she is not overly happy about, when suddenly Rachel Price returns...

Sharing my opinions of the plot twists or the very complicated members of Bel's family would spoil a lot, so I'll just describe this book by comparing it to a roller coaster. The start was slow, but I could feel it preparing for a drop. Then came the speedy dashes around, down, side to side, more and more information and twists thrown at me. Then the ending, when it slowed down and sweetly steered back to starting position. The ending to this book (the last 2/3 chapters after the climax) felt out of place for me.

I'm rating this book 4 stars, because I didn't like Bel's treatment of Ash (the clumsy camera assistant) at the beginning and because the ending felt wrong. But I hope that doesn't discourage mystery fans from picking up this YA mystery thriller.
