Flight 171

3.48 AVERAGE


What a wild ride this book was! FLIGHT 171 is the ultimate page turner about a four hour flight that very quickly turns into a nightmare.
I really enjoyed the paranormal use in this book along with the horrible atrocities humans are willing to commit as well. Nearly everyone seemed like the big bad monster of the story and I loved it! I think the writing of this book is very well done. I’ll be sure to check out the rest of the books written by this author. FLIGHT 171 is one of the best YA thriller books I’ve read in a while! Be sure to add this book to your ‘to read’ list! You won’t want to miss out!
Thank you NetGalley for an ebook arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I think this book was really good for a thriller and spooky adventure. Solving a murder mystery while also trying to survive is no easy task.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

3 stars.

Spoilers ahead. I will not reveal anything big - most of the review vaguely alludes to plot, structure, and characters.

I found this book very difficult to get into. The reader is immediately bogged down with so many names to keep track of - and as someone who struggles with names on a good day, I wasn't thrilled. The way mom behaved and her being overbearing made me a bit uncomfortable, and I feel that more exploration of her reaction to the loss would have eased that. The story dragged for me until it kicked off - and once things kicked off, it snowballed so quickly I just had to keep reading. It took a lot of work for me to suspend disbelief, since things get SO crazy. I also wanted to see more involvement and exploration from Emily and not just have her as a deus ex machina of sorts. It was very interesting to me that the dead girl was the most reasonable character. Overall, a fun read for someone looking for a spooky, claustrophobic read.

Why, in the year 2022, an author would make an *already dead* character the token gay, I don't know.
