The Thrashers by Julie Soto

dark mysterious fast-paced

5.0

The Thrashers are the "it" group at their high school - rich, super popular, and the kids everyone wants to be friends with. All of that starts changing when the journal of Emily Mills, a girl who desperately wanted to be a Thrasher, emerges depicting them as bullies. Suddenly, the group finds themselves under the scrutiny of their peers and the police, with their futures in jeopardy. Jodi, the misfit of the group, starts unraveling the mystery...and creepy things start happening that lead the Thrashers to think they are being haunted by Emily. 

I don't typically read thrillers or mysteries, but this book had me hooked from the very beginning. It was dark and full of perfectly timed plot twists and so much drama. The cast of characters was fascinating. They were flawed and morally grey. I loved that each character had their own distinct personality with layers of complexity and secrets that were revealed throughout the book. I also adored the romantic subplot and was rooting for those characters so hard. This book was intriguing, thought provoking, and immersive.

I listened to the audio and loved the narrator who did a fantastic job portraying the FMC's emotions throughout the book.
