DAMN! When I saw the skirt the first think that strikes me was Cheryl . And the book Death of cheerleader from Riverdale . Man, this book is so good , I get all the vibes of season 2 and season 4 . Must must must must read it . Lovelyyyyyyyy

Although the book is engaging, the pick up of the book is quite slow and the ending of it is tepid. It could've been a lot better.

It was a little bit damaged when I got it, a few marks on the front and back and the side was a bit damaged but that doesn’t matter!! I haven’t read a book properly and finished it since I was about 11, but recently I’ve been having an urge to read so I thought I’d read this, at first it was a little bit boring but by chapter 3 I was pulled in, throughout the book I just got so excited and it got so much better!! I really loved it and read it in just over a day, I kind of guessed the ending though but honestly was so shocked in chapter 21

OMG! this book is soooo good! it ends with THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER and like there is no second book. like it tells u the whole point of the book(btw it doesnt rly tell u everything it just tells u a lot) anyways the book is rly good and has lots of suspense. i loved it and i finished it in a day. i definitely recemend it. it rly draws u in, and i rly liked the characters. the overall story is amazing and realistic. its just a rly good book and if you r not so sure if u wanna buying it or not, u should definitely buy it. oh! i almost forgot to say its kinda a sad story it has to do with 5 girls dying but its also about friendship.i would honestly tell u everything that happens, but lile whats the point of buying it right?!

Spannend, interessante Figuren, überraschende Wendungen, amerikanisch, nicht nur für Jugendliche!

There’s been no cheerleading squad at Sunnybrook High for the past five years, following three separate tragedies involving cheerleaders. Bethany and Colleen were the first to die, killed in a car accident when their car hit a tree. Then, Susan and Juliana were murdered – strangled by Susan’s neighbour (who was stalking her) while the girl’s were home alone – the neighbour then subsequently shot by police. Finally, Jennifer (who was supposed to be at the sleepover the night Susan and Juliana died, but fell ill at the last minute), unable to come to terms with her friend’s deaths, commits suicide.Jennifer’s sister, Monica, living in the shadow of her perfect sister, is trying to move on, even though her life eerily mirrors her sister’s five years ago – she’s popular, has two best friends, and is a member of the dance team (the club that replaced the cheer squad). But the past won’t let her go, and upon discovering an ominous note citing a connection between all the cheerleaders deaths, Monica starts to unwittingly look into her sister’s past. But unravelling the truth, is a dangerous game, one she just might not survive!Back in April, I was so impressed with ‘Little Monsters’ that I promptly pre-ordered ‘The Cheerleaders’, and then waited impatiently for the 31st July to roll around. And I’m pleased to report that this one was just as good – suspenseful, tense, shocking, and emotional. Have to say I was definitely led down the garden path on this one. The author did something different and clever that I totally fell for, that still has me thrilled.Chapters were told in the present, from Monica’s POV, as well flashbacks in Jennifer’s POV. Timelines set five years apart meant there were two sets of students (since Monica was only in middle school when Jen was in high school) so there were quite a few characters to keep straight. But that’s what I love about Kara Thomas’s books, is that her characters don’t live in a bubble – they have parents, family, friends, acquaintances, frenemies, teachers, faculty, friend’s parent’s, parent’s friends – most only get a mention, or a small role, but this high calibre of attention to detail really bring her characters to life. And not just her characters, but the setting and lay-out of the town as well – like how every October the businesses on Main Street compete to display the best dress-up scarecrow, and when two characters walk into a cafe one mentions to the other that it’s just down the road from where her mother works – had me thoroughly engrossed in her fictional world.Kara Thomas is now my top current author in the YA mystery/suspense genre, as well as the queen of the high school setting, and I will be racing to pre-order her next book.

It’s quite eventful and entertaining. If your a lover of murder mysteries then you will love this. It reminds me of the A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series!
