At one point I considered throwing this a la Dorothy Parker. It seemed like it was heading to be way more misogynistic than it eventually turned out to be. It also turned out to be less of a thriller than it first seemed. I suppose if I'm forced to choose, I'd rather a modern woman write an unimpres...
From Goodreads: The panic unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community in a seemingly idyllic suburban community.The Nash family is close-knit.

Quick review for a progressive read. This book took me about the amount of time I'd thought since I listened to the audio version (read by Caitlin Davies, Kirby Heybourne, and Joe Barrett, all of whom did a nice job with the narration). But something about "The Fever" felt much more sluggish and awk...

Life is filled with the usual teen angst; boy drama, girl drama, sex drama, friend drama, all that fun teen stuff that makes high school so miserable. But Deenie has...

The Fever explores the phenomenon of mass hysteria and the mob mentality, for that is exactly what is occurring throughout the novel. Rumors fly, townspeople make assumptions based on those rumors, and panic exponentially builds as more girls fall prey to the contagion. Thanks to the constant connec...
I received a copy of this book for free from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. I liked this book, but I think it's mis-labeled as a horror novel. It's a very tense, suspenseful thriller, but not scary. That being said, it does suspense very well. The characters are each hiding some...
