Perfect Little Monsters by Cindy R.X. He
5.0
This is an absolutely riveting ya thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and gasping with each twist and turn!
Dawn Foster just transferred to Sierton High School from Santa Cruz, she's recovering from a horrific car accident that left her father disfigured, her mother paralyzed, and everyone needing to move in with her aunt. In an effort to prove to everyone she's doing okay Dawn tries out for the cheerleading squad where she falls in with the popular crowd. At a party one day the schools queen bee, Ella, is murdered and all eyes are on the popular clique, Dawn included. Someone at the party must have done it, but who? Between bullying, cattiness, backstabbing, and sleeping around, there's more than enough people who would have a good reason for wanting Ella dead, and all of them are willing to implicate Dawn. Dawn is determined to uncover all the secrets, to clear her name, and to keep this from happening again... At all costs.
OH MY GOODNESS.
I was hooked on this one from the very beginning and couldn't believe where I ended up by the end of the book! All im going to say is this- if you think you know what's going on, you don't. This book felt very reminiscent of many YA mystery thriller books at first and as a regular reader of the genre, I was so confident I had this one figured out really early on and boy am I happy to say that instead Cindy R.X. He took me on such a rollercoaster I couldn't be any happier that I didn't guess what was actually happening!
This book was twisty, exciting, engaging, and so smart! If you enjoy phycological thrillers that are fast paced and play out like an excellent movie or mini series in your head, this one is for you!!
Fair warning- it is YA but comes with some pretty hefty content warnings. Bullying, mental illness, eating disorder, and suicide are the most prevalent. I would only recommend this one to upper YA readers and more mature audiences!
