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!!

Tell Me Tuesdays #6!!

Tell Me Tuesdays is a meme/feature created by the awesome ladies of Please Feed The Bookworm and La La In The Library where we can share how we choose the book we are currently reading from our TBR pile!

I'm always curious about that, cause as much as I tend to make myself a rough schedule for books to read and the like, I'm quite a mood reader and sometimes I just HAVE to ignore my schedule and read something else!

 Dangerous Girls by Abigail Hass

"It's Spring Break of senior year. Anna, her boyfriend Tate, her best friend Elise, and a few other close friends are off to a debaucherous trip to Aruba that promises to be the time of their lives. But when Elise is found brutally murdered, Anna finds herself trapped in a country not her own, fighting against vile and contemptuous accusations.

As Anna sets out to find her friend's killer; she discovers hard truths about her friendships, the slippery nature of truth, and the ache of young love.

As she awaits the judge's decree, it becomes clear that everyone around her thinks she is not just guilty, but dangerous. When the truth comes out, it is more shocking than one could ever imagine..."

 Free To Fall by Lauren Miller

"What if there was an app that told you what song to listen to, what coffee to order, who to date, even what to do with your life—an app that could ensure your complete and utter happiness? What if you never had to fail or make a wrong choice?

What if you never had to fall?

Fast-forward to a time when Apple and Google have been replaced by Gnosis, a monolith corporation that has developed the most life-changing technology to ever hit the market: Lux, an app that flawlessly optimizes decision making for the best personal results. Just like everyone else, sixteen-year-old Rory Vaughn knows the key to a happy, healthy life is following what Lux recommends. When she’s accepted to the elite boarding school Theden Academy, her future happiness seems all the more assured. But once on campus, something feels wrong beneath the polished surface of her prestigious dream school. Then she meets North, a handsome townie who doesn’t use Lux, and begins to fall for him and his outsider way of life. Soon, Rory is going against Lux’s recommendations, listening instead to the inner voice that everyone has been taught to ignore — a choice that leads her to uncover a truth neither she nor the world ever saw coming."


I'm doing a buddy read with Sam of Realm of Fiction for Dangerous Girls and I'm absolutely loving it! Free To Fall I'm reading as August's book for the Bookbusters Book Club on Goodreads!
