Press release from Farmingdale Library Teens: December 03, 2021 One tradition that I always follow is that I pick a nice thriller or two to enjoy at the time, especially during my days off from teaching around Thanksgiving. There's something about this time of year that makes me want to enjoy a good book filled with twists and turns that will keep me on the edge as I quickly flip the pages. I adore those stories that weave a little mystery with their character development and keep us wondering what happens next. It's usually what I am in the mood for, and I wanted to give all of you some ideas of what you could read as well so you can join me in this tradition. I am a huge advocate of young adult books, so I've compiled eight that I've read or I am really looking forward to reading this season. So read on and get that bookshelf ready, and let your TBR get even bigger! The book will keep you up with its nail-biting twists and turns and moments filled with life lessons. It's definitely a great one to dig into this season. Newbie journalist Michael Jensen never thought he'd experience murders so close to home. They've also affected his father, the town sheriff. Intrigued, and hoping this will boost his future journalism career, Michael dives in to interview the quiet and elusive Marie Catherine Hale. Hale was found at the scene of the crime where the Carlson family was killed in Michael's town, covered in blood, making her an immediate suspect. Now, Michael must dig into what really happened that night and try to figure out if this haunting 15-year-old was a part of the murders. This novel is one that I devoured quickly, and it truly had me hooked from the start. But while the home seems perfect, suddenly eerie happenings start, such as mysteriously shut doors, lights creepily turning off, and random shadowy figures parading around the house. What is the secret that this home hides? What will Marigold discover? Will it lead to her demise? This one is sure to give you the creeps and keep you up late into the night. Filled with a whodunit feel, and with an edge of mystery and academic drama, this book will keep you interested and wanting to know what happens. Once an anonymous social media platform begins incriminating them, it's up to Jamie and her friends to try to find out who is behind it all. This book has it all, from well-fleshed out characters to surprises that will keep you guessing at all times. One of Us is Lying. Ivy, Mateo and Cal must now come to terms with what made them drift apart, and also fess up to the fact that they all have a connection to the now dead student. But what are they hiding from themselves and each other? I cannot wait to pick this one up and enjoy it this Fall. Filled with strong feminist characters and a great fast-paced story, this one promises a really fun ride. One day a mysterious club calls her attention and recruits her to join. But, this club celebrates elaborate pranks, pranks meant to instill fear and that are based on horror movies. Rachel is thrilled to be a part of it at first, until the group grows sinister and the Fear Tests become a little too much to handle. Exciting and enjoyable, this one is perfect for fans of stories filled with characters that are not always what they seem. This press release was produced by Farmingdale Library Teens.
