ela000 's review for:

The Thrashers by Julie Soto
3.5
dark mysterious tense fast-paced

This was my first Julie Soto book, and I  liked it! It gave me Pretty Little Liars vibes, mysterious with just the right amount of drama. I was a bit thrown off by the genre shift halfway through (it goes from YA thriller to something more parasocial), but once I adjusted, I was into it.
The plot twist actually surprised me, which doesn’t happen often. Some characters annoyed me a bit, but nothing major—just eye-roll and move on. It’s a quick read (I finished in two sittings), and the pacing felt just right.
Not the most original story ever, but it kept me hooked and entertained. I’ll definitely check out more from this author!
