This was skilfully done as the author would have had to walk a very thin line to keep the plot focused on recovery rather than making the storyline all about the villain of the piece. The holidays are here and we're celebrating with this list of brilliant books that are perfect summer reading. Before that we lived in various places, including a hospital in York where my dad was a psychiatrist.

Fast forward one year and Skye’s mother is packing her off for a summer getaway at Morley Hill Activity and Adventure Centre for six days and five nights of back-to-back activities all fully-funded by a charity for bereaved kids. All of the kids at the summer camp have lost someone close, but is bringing them together such a good idea? Although they are covered sensitively, if any of these things are likely to trigger a negative reaction, then it may be a good idea to skip this book. Its approach to death is all the more delicate as it explores the matter from a teenager’s perspective.This YA thriller really kept me going to the bitter end, and I found the second half to be fast-paced and simply impossible to put down where Skye becomes more paranoid of everyone around her at the activity camp, and comes to wonder if they're responsible in some way. To see what really happened to Luisa was chilling, it seemed kind of too extreme for the book, which is a crazy thing to say, but when you think of Skye's life, and they're idyllic little house, it's hard to see it all going wrong, not helped by the fact Skye starts receiving text messages from Luisa, or so it seems?

Tym samym powieść nie ma przygnębiającego wydźwięku, ale w zamian poczucie narastającego zagrożenia i rosnącej tajemnicy, zagadki, na której rozwiązanie czeka się z prawdziwą niecierpliwością.

Anyways, Skye is a character I can relate to, kind yet she keeps her emotions in, little soppy and over the top at some points but she's someone you could imagine as your best friend.At the heart of this novel is a heartbreaking event and Skye's journey throughout, and her coming to terms which what happened, was portrayed in a haunting and realistic way. Não sei bem se poderemos atribuir a categoria de Thriller a este livro, tem um pouco de suspense mas nada de muito intenso sendo um Young adult. Many of these themes are reasonably hard-hitting, but they are handled in an accessible way that is ideal for a young adult audience. Now any one who knows me knows I am a huge fan of the old Point Horror books from the 90's and initially upon reading the blurb I was excited as it had that feel of a Point Horror title, but in a modern day setting.

The pace was great, creating a suspicious mind-set was successful, and there was something about the writing that was so unassuming but detailed that I was just eating up. We have several characters who are going through this and each character is going through it or is coping with it differently. Kłamstwo minionego lata” to pasjonujący, emocjonujący kryminał dla młodszej i starszej młodzieży, dzieciaków, którzy szukają dreszczu emocji, ale wciąż jeszcze nie są gotowi na brutalne, bezlitosne powieści detektywistyczne dla dorosłych. As you guys are aware, this is my Murder Month where I read books that have a crime/thriller/mystery element to them.Não achei que fosse bem um thriller mas sim um livro que nos mostra como a dor de uma morte pode ser ultrapassada e os caminhos que são percorridos para que esta seja ultrapassada. However, before too long she starts receiving messages from her dead sister through a password protected messaging app they always used to chat away from the prying eyes of their parents. The main character skye was a lovely character who i found reacted well to everything that happened to her within the book. I had Joe pegged as the bad guy, he riled me up something chronic, and there was just something about him that I didn't trust or believe, you know when you just get a feeling about someone? In a narrative which doesn’t ever get close to being preachy the teenager cast speak in the believable lazy text-speak of today and the novel can be read and throughly enjoyed as a simple thriller without any of the deeper concepts getting in the way of a character driven story.

Having read and enjoyed Sue Wallman’s other two YA novels earlier in the year, I always expected to like this one. Faye who was one of skyes room mates was a nice character but was one of those characters who seeked boys attention but i did end up feeling sorry for her at the end. Guilt stemming from her belief that she did not do anything when she could have saved her sister Luisa, if only she had not remained frozen on the spot and unable to move watching the events unfolding in front of her. Alternatively, if it’s the beautiful writing and characterisation that appeals, you must read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.One year later she is sent to a week-long 'bereavement camp' for teens who have lost someone close to them.
