In The Trap

3.5
To sum up this book in a few words, we see Hazel(an introvert, who has just started college) who encounters some drunk guys who acted rashly and a few days letter one of the guys end up dead. And Hazel is brought in for questioning. And while all this is going on throughout the whole book we got inserts from online diary entries from an account called dead_papers who basically confesses to killing that guy. And the police suspect that Hazel is the one behind this account(dead_papers).And we also see how Hazel works with 2 other students to try and clear her name

So I enjoyed this one! Loved the online diary aspect of it. But Hazel did annoy me at times.
In the part where she took the necklace, I mean WTF. Everyone knows that u r not supposed to mess with a crime scene and this woman went and not only got her fingerprints all over it, she also took a PIECE of EVIDENCE.(it was her necklace but still?) Also I hated how she was arguing with everyone and and had this 'ughh whateva' kinda attitude.And Maeve!!!!! I pictured Maeve as Maeve from one of us is lying coz their attitudes n everything were pretty similar. In the beginning I was so annoyed with her too, coz it seemed like she only cared abt herself, did whatever she wanted, smoked wherever she wanted. But towards the end she kinda started growing on me. Hazel too

So overall even tho I was annoyed for the above mentioned stuff. I did enjoy the book coz it was set in the year 2000 in a college campus and it was so interesting to read about. Will def be continuing with the series:)

Also the authors writing style was very easy to read and I flew through the book in a about a day. Loved it!

Thank you to Ninestar Press, Netgalley and the author for this copy of the e-arc:)

Jessica Cranberry writes a great mystery.

Sometimes it's hard to write a review of a mystery because you don't want to reveal any of the things that make it so great so you don't ruin anyone else's reading. Let me just say that I thoroughly enjoyed In The Trap. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I received a free copy of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
