You're Next

Review: You're Next - Kylie Schachte - July 2020

This book was one that I asked our library to buy and imagine my surprise seeing the release date as the 7th July which is my birthday, that's pretty cool. When I saw that this was a James Patterson presents and that the main girl was a teen detective, that captured my attention. I love books that have teen detectives like modern-day Nancy Drew and Veronica Mars. In this book, we meet Flora Calhoun who seems to have a habit of finding dead bodies and stumbling upon mysteries. She also is a bisexual character, I was a little worried about this as I am not normally one for reading books where the characters are in an F/F or M/M relationship but I did like how her sexual orientation was touched on but not to be made the main issue of the novel. In this book, it starts with Flora's ex-girlfriend Ava calling her to say she needs her - Flora arrives just in time to see Ava get shot three times and hold her before she died. Ava's last words were Wes Grays and this leads Flora onto a new investigation as she plans to solve who killed Ava and why as the police are writing it off as a mugging gone wrong. As Flora continues to dig, did she ever know Ava, and what about her school classmates? Has Flora been selfish and focused on herself as she has been blind to what has been around her all this time? As well as the mystery aspect, You're Next by Kylie Schachte also has a strong focus on Flora's family life and friends/relationships and of course trying to survive her year at high school. If you love Teen thrillers/mysteries, then check out You're Next by Kylie Schachte today.
