Una prota de 16 o 17 años escribe para clase una historia a dos manos sobre asesinato muy particular. Se desarrolla en un bosque, en el que encuentran a la víctima asesinada con un trofeo y un mensaje, “Help me”. De hecho, parece demasiado rebuscado y nunca sabemos qué otra cosa pasa, por lo que la constante referencia me pareció más aburrida que un aporte real. La situación es que, uno de sus compañeros de clase, Hugh Van Boren, es encontrado asesinado de la misma forma que ella narró en su tarea. Además de eso, una serie de mensajes de agradecimiento y amenazas llegan a su teléfono, lo que la hace querer investigar quién pudo haber matado a su compañero valiéndose de su “creatividad”. Jess has enough on her plate. She is a scholarship student at a prestigious boarding school. She already feels like she does not belong and has to work so much harder to prove herself.
Just because things are easy for you, doesn’t mean they’re easy. Just because people are good to you, doesn’t mean they’re good. You can’t close your eyes and then claim ignorance – people who let bad stuff happen are just as bad as the people who do bad stuff.” It’s been a while since I read a Marie Lu book and… I’m sad to admit it, because I always have a fantastic time with them. Stars and Smoke was no exception. I had so much fun reading this, from beginning to end. I really enjoyed the characters and both of their POV, was so intrigued by the whole mystery and entertained by this wild ride of a book, as a whole.

Home > Jess together with a couple other students will investigate and try to figure out who killed Hugh and why before anyone else gets hurt.I'll make it clear from the start: I did not kill Hugh Henry Van Boren. I didn't even help. Well, not intentionally. When Hugh Henry Van Boren, one of the most popular and richest kids in Jess Choudhary's school, is found dead, the student body is left reeling and wondering who the murderer could be...
Elite boarding school, a secret society and a murder mystery all in one book? YES PLEASE, THANK YOU. The writing in this one is absolutely incredible, the plot was easy to follow, the murderer is easy enough to guess but not too easy that it ruins the fun, the characters were well developed and relatable and overall this book is a really great read. Overall, a strong entry into the YA thriller scene, and I'm definitely excited to see what this author writes in the future! And then Jess receives an anonymous text thanking her for the inspiration. With time running out, Jess knows if she doesn't solve this mystery she'll finally have something in common with Hugh Henry. She'll be dead too. About This Edition ISBN: It's been a longgg while since I was ever interested in a YA mystery book. I mostly read thrillers and mystery novels that deal with more adult themes, so the way this YA mystery was able to intrigue me from the synopsis alone was definitely a welcomed surprise. I enjoyed a lot of the aspects in this book– the mystery, the plot twists, the characters, the writing and the pacing. I genuinely did not expect a lot of the plot twists in this book. Even though I guessed the identity of the murderer before the big reveal, I was still fairly surprised by a lot of the revelations.

What I really liked about Jess was her relentless and curious nature. I loved how she wasn´t ashamed of where she came from; growing up poor; even though many people bullied her for it. I feel like she made loads of smart decisions in this book (with a few dumb ones sprinkled in there obviously) and I overall really enjoyed her character.
Great Deal
