I received a free pre-read copy of the Dutch translation for a group read on www.crimezone.nl. Thank you! Nederlandse versie onderaan! This is the first part in the new YA-series Project PERSEFoNE. The story is incredibly fast, which makes it very hard to put down, but also left me almost exha...
HOLY COW, YOU GUYS. This book was SUCH A RUSH. Looking for YA that would be perfect for fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? HERE IT IS. Lately I’ve been on a mystery/thriller binge and Don’t Turn Around satisfied my craving for a good thriller. The main character, Noa, is dark but not overly ...
A great book with a strong female character that reminded me a lot of Stieg Larsson's character Lisbeth Salander! I loved the storyline and the way it ended unfinished, making me excited to read the next book in the series. I am just sorry I have to wait so long until its release.
I've had Don't Turn Around for just under a year now, and I probably wouldn't have picked it up if I wasn't writing a recap for Recaptains. I don't know, it just never really appealed to me to the extent of having to pick it up RIGHT NOW. Some books do that to me, you know? It turns out that my intu...
Noa is a hacker. She's hacked a fake family, an apartment, and a life for herself, on her own at age sixteen. But she wakes up on an operating table and has to go on the run. This is the first book by Michelle Gagnon, and that shows around the edges a bit. The teenage characters have too much agen...
Don't Turn Around is a beautiful book. Seriously, I think I've been waiting my whole life for this. It's got everything a truly terrific young adult book needs to have: A strong female character (Noa) who doesn't get progressively weaker as they male character (Peter) appears. The beginnings of a...
Terrible cover, but the book was fun with two plucky kids escaping and hacking the Man (or at least a big evil medical experiment conspiracy) It takes place in Boston/Cambridge/Brookline and the author knows the locations. I'd read another one if she keeps going...
This is said to be a book that feels similar to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but for teens, and I’d have to agree. It has a similar flow and style, and the two main characters have a slightly similar aesthetic as Lisbeth and Mikael. That being said if you have read Tattoo then don’t expect a carb...
Initial thoughts: I really wanted to like this novel more than I did, but for the sparse worldbuilding and lack of connectivity as far as the characterization and events goes, this didn't deliver. I'm hoping I can explain more in my full review.Full review:Thriller/suspense/technological stories ar...
This started off OK, got weird and then I decided I didn't like this very much at all. Too many contradictions, too unbelievable in places and I didn't connect with any of the characters. This book reads like various books and movies I've read/seen and I was more impressed by those than this novel. ...
