DID NOT FINISH: 14%

I really wanted to like this book, but both voices sounded very similar and there were just too many characters to keep up with. Alas, this book did not keep my attention for long.

   I feel largely indifferent toward this book. It was easy to figure out the mysteries. I only really found the side characters loveable or even likable. The main characters I mostly disliked. Though the book was still somewhat enjoyable, I think only because of the final twist, which I didn't see coming.

Narrators' Rating: 3.75 stars
  The narrators were pretty good, but one of them I think Valerie Rose had kind of a grating voice.

Another wild ride, slasher horror/thriller from Danielle Valentine.

Valentine's How to Survive Your Murder was a well-done, slasher-inspired YA horror. Two Sides to Every Murder was equally as impressive. There are twists and turns and shocking reveals. 

Camp Lost Lake is scheduled to reopen after the brutal murders there over 16 years ago. Two teens are returning to the scene for different reasons, and each is hoping to uncover a truth. 

Tactfully written with classic slasher themes, Two Sides to Every Murder is bound to be a top-recommended YA horror for me.
