A review by sheramelton
The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude

4.0

I have no idea why everyone seems to have such an issue with this book. It was great! Even in the parts where nothing scary was happening at the moment, there was a sense of dread and fear built up that kept you edgy. Maybe being from a small rural southern town I can just relate a lot more than most people. But things in the book were done in the way they actually happen. Teens hide their sexuality for fear of being persecuted for it. People lie, and even kill, to protect their friends and families pasts and cover things up. That is just how it is. The ending was great. At first I thought she was going in the direction I didn't want her to go. The easy predictable way out. Then there was surpise after surprise after surprise.
