Sinossi
Cinque ragazze hanno mentito. Cinque ragazze sono morte. Non è rimasta neanche una cheerleader a Sunnybrook. Prima c'è stato l'incidente stradale in cui sono morte due ragazze. Poco dopo, altre due sono state brutalmente uccise dal vicino di casa, ma la polizia ha ucciso il killer e nessuno saprà mai il movente. La sorella di Monica è stata l'ultima a morire, e dopo il suo suicidio la Sunnybrook High ha sciolto la squadra. È successo cinque anni fa, ma Monica non riesce a dimenticare: ci sono le lettere trovate nella scrivania del patrigno, un vecchio cellulare riapparso, uno strano personaggio che si aggira per la scuola... Qualsiasi cosa sia accaduta cinque anni fa, non è finita e adesso torna a bussare alla porta. Un thriller ingannevole, un puzzle i cui pezzi si ricompongono alla perfezione. Un'autrice di spicco nel panorama dei thriller YA, conosciuta in tutto il mondo ma mai pubblicata in Italia.

Recensioni
An okay young adult mystery. Honestly, not my favorite, but still enjoyable. The Cheerleaders CW: suicide, murder, death, statutory rape, sexual assault, substance abuse, abortion One of the things I really like about the story was it’s attention to controversial topics that aren’t often approached in Leggi tutto
"I am a victim, whether or not I feel like one." ^ I wanted to include more of this quote, but it contains spoilers, so I'll let you experience the rest of what Monica has to say there when you read the book for yourself. ;) I know some readers like to write off any type of YA novel as cheap and unwor Leggi tutto
Page-turning mystery!5 cheerleaders in a small town die, in 3 separate incidents, within a month’s time. Is it a coincidence or is there something sinister going on in the town of Sunnybrook?“Some people say a curse fell over our town five years ago.” The Cheerleaders is a compulsively readable Leggi tutto
Hmm.... I get it. YA is a genre that caters to everyone. But YA Thrillers, in general, are the outcasts lot of the bunch because.....they just suck in general. Sure there are a few hidden gems but these are far too few and too rare to count. I just....when it comes down to it....kids in thrillers are Leggi tutto
This YA mystery really surprised me! It was a bit dark with some mature themes and it proved to be one heck of a twisty, captivating page-turner. Five years ago 5 cheerleaders wound up dead in the span of a few months. One of them was Jenn, Monica's older sister. Monica has never believed that her s Leggi tutto
More like 2,75* - the ending kind of ruined everything for me. It was so... anticlimactic? I don't know, I thought it would be smarter than that. I'm pretty sure though, that most people who like dark young adult temporary thriller type of books will enjoy this. It was written very well and it deals Leggi tutto
3.5 ⭐️ I enjoyed this YA thriller - though the reveals weren’t massively shocking or anything, I found it entertaining to see it all unravel. First there was the car accident, where two cheerleaders were killed. Then the horrific murders in the house of another. Finally the suicide of Monica’s sister Leggi tutto
So… I went into The Cheerleaders with an expectation to get a story similar to I Know What You Did Last Summer or The Scream, but instead I got… something different. I don’t know why I thought there will be a a killer chasing characters who’d fear for their lives, because that was not even promissed Leggi tutto
