Thank you so much to Simon Teen for sending me an eARC of The Telling! I’m so happy that this book has been rereleased. This book is perfect for fans of Gone Girl, We Were Liars and I Know What You Did Last Summer. This high stakes murder mystery will get you hooked and leave you questioning everyone. Lana is a 17 year old girl who is trying to recover after witnessing the brutal murder of her stepbrother. Through her grief she makes new friends and during one of their outings they find a dead body. More and more gruesome attacks happen and the group of teens take it upon themselves to prove what’s really happening.
There were so many twists and turns throughout the story, I couldn’t predict what would happen next!
While I really enjoyed this book I do think you need to check potential triggers. This book contains many themes that are scary/disturbing if you are not prepared for them!
