Books That Need More Attention Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Books That Need MORE Attention! Giveaway Hop hosted & organized by the amazing Val of Stuck in Books!

This hop is a way to help us share a feature a book we loved so much but we think is not getting enough attention and we feel is deserving of more!

I could have quite a few books as options for this one but I decided to focus on Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas (Abby McDonald). Many fellow bloggers have read and loved it but apparently the sales weren't good enough to ensure that the sequel was bought in the US, so she decided to self publish it in the US. 

So I've decided to giveaway a paperback copy of Dangerous Girls, open INTERNATIONAL!!

Saturday Pages: Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas!!!

Hey guys! I'm starting the weekend with a first entry for this week's Saturday Pages and this one was another fantastic read!

I read this one with Sam from Realm of Fiction and we both enjoyed it to bits. This was another book that is very much worth reading with a buddy, cause you will want to discuss theories and turns and you'll want to gasp about the ending with someone!



Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I had read some really great reviews for this book and fell in love with this amazing cover, so when the chance to buddy read this one with Sam from Realm of Fiction, I jumped at it! We both loved it and ended up devouring it in a shorter time that we originally planned!

I am a bit torn about how to review this book, because I feel like discussing how awesomely we are led and surprised but I also want you guys to be able to read and enjoy it with as little information as possible, as I did!

So if you want to read the book with as little information as possible, let me just tell you that it managed to keep me turning pages like mad, not minding at all the jumping timeline chapters, going from different points in the story forward and backwards. It kept me eager for more and more information and kept me guessing all the time. I was so completely into the story that despite my original thoughts when I started reading, the ending completely took me by surprise and left me open mouthed and seriously creeped out!


Now if you want a little bit of more information, you can continue reading, but be warned that my review will probably be a bit on the rambling side. The story deals with Anna and Elise, their friendship, the trip they took with their friends, and Elise's death and Anna's accusation of murder. We are given bits and pieces of the bigger picture and the more information we get, the more doubts you might get as much as who really Elise and Anna were and the more you wonder about who really did it!

I was quite suspicious as soon as I started reading it, and was in two minds about how the book would play out, but even if I was right about one of those theories, when I reached the end, I was so caught up on the narrative that it totally caught me by surprise! Quite an amazing unreliable narrator for sure, worthy of comparing to Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd!

This is a brilliant story that very cleverly makes you think in circles and leads you around, presenting wrongs and rights, toxic friendships, obsessive relationships, revenge and slander. You might wonder if the end justify the means when the press turns a horrible crime into a witch hunt, and an investigator butchers an murder case with his doggedly resolution to pin the blame on Anna, no matter what methods to use.

I will be recommending this book to everyone and anyone because it is an unfairly overlooked gem of a story! So there you go, grab your own copy NOW! Very much deserved 5 stars for this one!!
