kylek 's review for:
Every Breath
by Ellie Marney
I'm a sucker for anything to do with Sherlock so this was an obvious read. I'm happy I did manage to eventually read it. I have read better, more engaging Sherlock retellings (but damn authors that dont finish series!), but this one still holds up.
I don't think the synopsis does this any favors. Makes it sound like your everyday blah YA romance, but the romance is just hinted at throughout the book and it only actually fully comes into at like 60%+, and its also not a Carly Rae romance. They are friends before they get into the romance, and its not just about the murder mystery. Mycroft and Watts have a lot of heavy familial issues to deal with as well and I liked that about this book. It doesn't dismiss the family nor the issues that come with living in this world. The crappy parts about life aren't brushed aside just cause they are teenagers and this is a fiction book.
So even though I knew who the killer was as soon as he was introduced, it was still a very solid read.
