Thriller lovers, this is where it’s at!
Once again @ktcarlisle knocks it out of the park with her new YA thriller, 𝙄 𝙆𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙎𝙖𝙬.
This totally gave me PLL vibes! (IYKYK) - High school awkwardness, first crushes, best friends, and of course the token mean girls. I absolutely loved the main character Eliza - she’s witty, relatable and will even give you a chuckle every now and then with her teenager ‘tude.
As per usual with a Carlisle book, I was up all night trying to solve the whodunnit! Carlisle’s writing is superb and just sucks you in- insert onomatopoeia suction sound here. You just can’t stop until you have all the answers!
100% recommend for all YA readers and anyone who loves a thriller or just needs a quick read!

Finished this one in just two days! It was a real page turner. The mystery at its heart propelled the plot and the drama between the characters made me care about what happened to them. It took a while before I was pretty sure who or what was the guilty party, so the book kept me guessing with plenty of red herrings. Overall, this book was a great, quick read.

Buckle up, y’all, because this one was a treat! 😍
I actually read "I Know What I Saw" for the first time last year, but I had the opportunity to reread it for an indie book club, and I’m so glad I did!
This is quite simply the perfect summer thriller. I had SO much fun with this book! It’s intense, twisty, and basically every chapter ends on a cliffhanger. The mystery kept me hooked, but where Ms. Carlisle really shines is her characters. They feel real, like people you could bump into at the store, and their growth throughout the story is excellent.
Also, I am personally a sucker for the incredible chemistry in this book. 😍
Overall, I definitely recommend this one! It’s a SUPER fun read. Plus, there’s a sequel coming out in October! 👀🎃🧙♀️
Content Notes / Parental Guidance: This would likely be rated R for strong violence, alcohol use, and mature themes. Includes cancer, murder, parental death, sexual abuse, and grooming. Violence includes graphic descriptions of stabbings/dismemberment and intense peril. Sexual content is limited to kissing, but there are references to sexual abuse and a realistically depicted grooming storyline. Underage drinking is included but not glamorized.
