Britney's Review of Complicit

Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn

Publication Date: June 24, 2014

Summary: Two years ago, sixteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh of relief when a judge sentenced his older sister to juvenile detention for burning down their neighbor's fancy horse barn. The whole town did. Because Crazy Cate Henry used to be a nice girl. Until she did a lot of bad things. Like drinking. And stealing. And lying. Like playing weird mind games in the woods with other children. Like making sure she always got her away. Or else. 

But today Cate got out. And now she's coming back for Jamie. 

Because more than anything, Cate Henry needs her little brother to know the truth about their past. A truth she's kept hidden for years. A truth she's not supposed to tell. 

Trust nothing and no one as you race toward the explosive conclusion of this gripping psychological thriller from the William C. Morris Award-winning author of Charm & Strange.

My Rating: 4/5 Stars

My Review: This book, wow, it really took me by surprise. I could not put it down because I had to know what was happening. This book is kind of a mystery, kind of a thriller. Two years ago Jamie's sister went to juvenile detention because she confessed to burning down their neighbor's horse barn. But now Cate is out, and is calling Jamie telling him she's coming back. Throughout the book Jamie tries to figure out some things such as how their mother died, why he suddenly loses feelings in his hands sometimes, and why he has lapses in his memory. 

This was one of the most, if not the most, twisted books I have ever read. The whole ending was just a big WOW. I had a guess about what was going on, and while I was right the ending really messed with me. I can't say much about the book
though, because of spoilers.

If you like kind of dark, twisted books I think you should check this book out.
