Bad Girl Gone by Temple Mathews: Review


Hello! Today I will be doing my first review of the year, in which I will be giving you my thoughts on Bad Girl Gone by Temple Mathews! So without any further ado, let's jump right into it!




Bad Girl Gone
By: Temple Mathews
Rating: 4/5 stars





Synopsis: A girl wakes up in a mysterious place. She remembers nothing about her life except her name, Echo Stone. She is at Middle House, an orphanage for troubled kids. The only problem is that Echo isn't orphan...her parents are very much alive. Wandering Middle House in search of answers, no one will tell her why she is there. Finally, Echo realizes that her parents are indeed alive, but she isn't. Echo has recently become a ghost. And the only way she can leave Middle House is if she solves her own murder and brings her murderer to justice. 


What I liked: Well obviously I liked a lot if I gave it 4/5 stars! But here's the list! 

-Echo~ I found Echo to be a great narrator for our story and an overall likable character! I enjoyed reading her story and trying to solve her murder along with her. 

-The cover~ Well, just look at it! It's gorgeous!! 

-The relationship between Echo and Cole~ Echo and another orphan at Middle House, Cole, form a strong bond as the two attempt to help one and other solve their murders. I really enjoyed watching their relationship form and grow deeper as the novel went on. I also enjoyed that their relationship wasn't the main focus of the book because it would have made the story less enjoyable in my opinion. 

-The plot~ This story has an extremely unique plot and I haven't read anything like it before! The story kept me interested the whole time and I simply couldn't put this book down!

-The mysterious nature of it~ I had an awesome time contemplating who Echo's murderer could be, and I never saw it coming! This book did a great job making you keep guessing and guessing until the end. 

-The ending~ Well, I can't say too much without spoiling it. But it is perfectly set up for another book. And I'm definitely hoping we get one!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall this book was a super quick and fun read! I don't usually gravitate towards too many YA mystery/horror novels, but I'm so glad I gave this one a try!

Let me know your thoughts on this book if you've read it in the comments below!

Hey everyone, Victoria here! Today I wanted to do a haul of the books I got from a book sale that my library had. All of these books were super cheap (paperbacks were $1.00 and hardcovers were $1.50), so I went a bit crazy! Let's just get right into the haul! Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn I just realized that this is being adapted into a TV mini-series (I think), but when I picked this up, I thought it would be a creepy and mysterious read to explore during October! All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr Y'ALL! I FOUND THIS IN HARDCOVER FOR ONLY $1.50! WHAT A STEAL!! I've been wanting to read this book for such a long time and I've heard nothing but great things about it. So glad I was able to pick it up for such a good price! The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern I know so many Booktubers that love this book and constantly hype it up, and I want to see how I'll like it. I think this would be a good one to read in spooky month (aka October...

Hi everyone, Victoria here! Sorry, I didn't have a post go up last week but today I'm going to be doing the finally fall book tag!!  I'm so happy that its finally fall, as fall is my favorite season! Anyways, let's jump right into the questions!  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a book with a vivid setting!  For this one, I'm gonna have to go with Sea Witch by Sarah Henning! The seaside town setting was just so eerie and enhanced the story and made it such an enjoyable read!  Nature is beautiful...but also dying: name a book that is beautifully written but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief  Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Henning Blake. This book talks about the main character's brother raping her best friend. Our main character, Mara, has to deal with a lot of grief and feelings surrounding the whole situation.   Fall is bac...
