Thelma and Louise like story, build up drama as things go from worse to even more worse is he drive of this story plot.  I liked the book on a personal level and would consider it more for adult then young adult.  I would not add this to a high school library.  It is filled with crime, theft and murder. Public library would be better.

Girls Like Us by Cristina Alger

It's a good read.  Because I do read a lot, I already figured out who the murderer was but I didn't know why.  But that's me.  It's a deep dark world of corruption.  I liked this book very much and I would recommend the book to others.  I would say more for adults not for teen libraries.  Teens could read the book, I just wouldn't add it to a high school library.  I happen to like "Who Done It" mysteries and this was successfully written.  Audio book also very good.  Enjoy.

I’m Not Dying With You Tonight by Jones and Segal

It's a good read and I am getting for my high school library.  Could such an event happen.  Sadly there was in the news a mob event that did take place.  On a more personal note, my own library was on lock down because some a mob of boys were trying to fight a small group of boys from a different cultural background.  What is going on in the world? 

Alex Stern Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

I don't think I would put this one in the school library.  There is some mature content (sex and drugs).  It's part occult, part magic and lots of murder.  I enjoy Leigh Bardugo books but this one is a departure from her past books.  It is a good read just for older readers.

This was a pleasant surprise.  I am looking forward to reading the first one.  You don't need to read the first one, the book recaps a bit of what happened before.  I like Evan Green.  She's a girl who's figuring out high school but with more of a challenge because she was born with out arms.  There's a mean boy who does hurtful things and there are horses, lamas and elderly.  Also looking for her father's family, since she's adopted.  Perfect for any school library.  worth it!  Audio book also good.
