Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson is a book that I had high expectations for, since it seemed like exactly my kind of book: boarding school thriller.

This book contains two connected mysteries and many peculiar characters. I enjoyed the use of flashbacks, which is not a common occurrence, and the shocking plot twists.

Ringer by Lauren Oliver, the second instalment in the Replica series will not disappoint fans of the series. Ringer is just as eerie, and the original layout of the book is the same as the first. My favourite story was Gemma’s, but Lyra’s is still gripping. If you have yet to pick these books up, I definitely recommend that you do so this fall. Continue reading
