What I thought

So, I managed to get an advanced copy of Seven Dirty Secrets a few months back. Obviously, I’m a little late with reading and reviewing it. But better late than never right?

so, what exactly made me pick up Seven Dirty Secrets? One reason is because of the cover. I love the way the cover looks and that’s what originally grabbed my attention. That’s not the only reason though. I have always enjoyed reading thrillers and YA thrillers are really no different. Honestly, I don’t care what age group it is for as long as it’s good.

Seven Dirty Secrets has a good concept and seemed very interesting. I mean how would you feel about getting a gift that leads you down a path where you’re pretty much being blackmailed. You thought no one knew other than your friends. So is one of your friends blackmailing you?

Most of this book is pretty good. The only thing is that it doesn’t do a good job deflecting you from what’s going to happen towards the end. I guessed who the “bad guy” was towards the beginning of the book. That’s not a good thing when most of the book is trying to throw you off. It was just so obvious. Otherwise, the story is pretty good. It’s fast-paced and keeps you reading. I do feel like there could have been more to the characters. I’m not sure what it was but I feel like something was missing with them.

Seven Dirty Secrets is the perfect book for those who enjoy murder mysteries.
