The Thrashers by Julie Soto
4.0
"The night I died was supposed to be my prom night."
It's the night of the junior/senior prom when Emily dies and eyes are immediately turned to the cliquey popular friend group - the Thrashers. As the blame for Emily's death is cast to them, tragedy seems to follow the group around and soon the police are also out to get them. Will they get themselves out of trouble or will somebody else get "thrashed"?
THE THRASHERS is my first read from Julie Soto and it should be no surprise that it's her first thriller as well!
This story was 👏binge👏worth👏y👏
When I say the tea is piping and that it's giving Pretty Little Liars and the messiest of high school drama and a toxic friend group (that you also feel on the outs of *oooh drama*) I SAY IT WITH MY CHEST.
The mystery was intriguing and had some fun paranormal elements, and there were several instances throughout the story that had me crying (in public, mind you) because Soto's character work was done so well.
There were some points that had me ~annoyed~ hence the 4 stars, but dang I hope there's a sequel!
Definitely recommend this one if you're new to the thriller genre and still want some of that romance sprinkled in 🤭
Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Wednesday Books for the early copy for review - out May 6!
