I really tried to like this novel. The cover got me all curious. Yet it wasn’t what I thought it was. I thought there was going to be more of a paranormal feel to it, but it’s limited to mostly the twins having their telepathic abilities. I rather liked the history behind the two girls that was actu...

Wow. Just wow. I mean, that’s honestly the only word that can describe Envy by Gregg Olsen. From the moment I looked at the cover, I was already fascinated. When they say not to judge a book by its cover, I know that I did just that with Envy. The cover is creepy and at the same time had me wonder...

I didn't really like this book. for me it was really boring and I had to push my way through it. I didn't really connect with the twins, Hailey and Taylor. They were immature and said stupid things that I have never heard a real teenager say. And what was up with the way they texted, emailed and Im'...

Chilling. That's the first word that pops into my head when I think about my reading of Envy. Even before I realized that this was based on a true crime, my heart beat faster just reliving the events of this book. Imagine a book that mixes a bit of horror with the paranormal we all know and love. Ar...

The small town of Port Gamble, Washington is rocked by the death of one of their own. Katelyn, found dead by an apparent suicide, was a teenager like many others – having friend trouble, boy trouble, family trouble, but would she kill herself? Twins Hayley and Taylor don’t think so and decide to get...

“Envy” was such a fascinating read that I read it in almost a day. The plot was very well developed and only bits and pieces of the mystery were revealed so it really felt like I was figuring out this mystery right along with the two heroines Hayley and Taylor. It wasn’t only just one mystery either...

Billed as a true crime mystery, Envy definitely has a “ripped from the headlines” feel with a slightly supernatural element. Unfortunately, for such a tragic story with very tangible motives and actions, the twins’ telepathy is seemingly out of place. It is almost as if Olsen was trying to attract r...

Slow and Boring. Not a big fan of the characters. Predictable. HATE when authors use "text speak" or try to incorporate products that they think teenagers will relate to (uggs, smashbox etc). Ending was tacked on and awkward. Author had no idea how girls think/feel/speak. If you don't understan...
