Review for Pretty Wicked by Kelly Charron: ★★★★★

Pretty Wicked by Kelly Charron

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was provided with an ARC of this from NetGalley. I gave it 5 "Pretty Wicked" Stars.

The blurb pulled me in and read like it would be a book that would be right up my street, so I decided to read it on the off chance it would be exactly what I was looking for.
However, what I got was so much more. Kelly Charron is a new author to me but I quickly learnt that she must be some kind of evil genius. The concept was absolutely brilliant and very cleverly constructed. In fact there were a few parts that were so intense, they gave me actual chills as we delved deeper into this story a 15 year old serial killer. The blurb may have pulled me in but the words captivated my attention.

Getting to follow the story from the mind of the killer was an exceptional idea and gives us a better understanding behind the motives of our Main character's actions.
Pretty Wicked is edgy and a little dark in places, with a little twist thrown in to keep things interesting. The author clearly has a natural talent for stories such as this.

I absolutely loved this and can't wait to read more from this author.

Blurb
The daughter of a local police detective, fifteen-year-old Ryann has spent most of her life studying how to pull off the most gruesome murders her small Colorado town has ever seen.

But killing is only part of it. Ryann enjoys being the reason the cops are frenzied. The one who makes the neighbors lock their doors and windows on a hot summer’s day. The one everyone fears but no one suspects.

Carving out her own murderous legacy proves harder than she predicted. Mistakes start adding up. And with the police getting closer, and her own father becoming suspicious, Ryann has to prove once and for all that she’s smarter than anyone else—or she’ll pay the ultimate price.

Written in a mature YA voice. Some graphic content.
