I wish there would’ve been a good twist at the end. Pretty predictable from front to back.

This book, Adrenaline High is about a kid and her mom gets murdered! The protagonist, Zania is highly humiliated about that. Zania's mom has a drugdealing boyfriend and he does lots of bad things and can infer he gets in jail for drugs. Zania thinks hs boyfriend is behind this all because a issue they had. Does Zania find the truth and gets her mother back or its not the boyfriend is another person.

In my own opinion the book was so boring because the whole was mostly about saving her mother from the drug dealing boyfriend. After reading the book, I wanted to know why they mostly focus on the mother and the dauther. Ideas like this made me less interested in reading.
