There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie PerkinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am shook.
Thriller novels are difficult to get right. We've heard every case a thousand times before, whether it's other books, shows, movies, the news, etc. I feel like writing a YA thriller could be even more difficult. While there is a murder mystery, YA technically shouldn't have the sex, blood, gore, etc. of adult novels.
Perkins did a great job making the mystery intriguing as well as give us a love story. The couple isn't exactly the power couple we all dream of while reading romance novels, but you can't have everything. (Also, romance is probably pretty difficult when your neighbors are getting brutally murdered.)
The story isn't exactly scary, but it did keep me on the edge of my seat for a while. I actually ended up having nightmares about the types of murders in this book (so good job, Perkins).
