There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook.

First there was the car accident—two girls gone after hitting a tree on a rainy night. Not long after, the murders happened. Those two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know why he did it. Monica’s sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they lost.

That was five years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it’s not that easy. She just wants to forget. Only, Monica’s world is starting to unravel. There are the letters in her stepdad’s desk, an unearthed, years-old cell phone, a strange new friend at school. . . . Whatever happened five years ago isn’t over. Some people in town know more than they’re saying. And somehow Monica is at the center of it all.

There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn’t mean anyone else is safe.

​Recommended Read 

YES!!! This book had me hooked from the first page all the way though to the end. Kara Thomas is getting better and better with every book she writes and I know I am going to be anticipating every release with my grabby little fingers! If I had to describe her books, they are like Liane Moriarty's type of books but for young adults. Bloody fantastic! If you like young adult murder mysteries, or even murder mysteries in general, then this is THE book to add to your TBR today. It is a gripping, page turning read that will leave you chilled! 

As the synopsis states. "there are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook..." The principal decided that after 5 cheerleaders died under horrific and strange circumstances that this activity should be left in the dust. But that doesn't mean that the cheerleaders demise was being swept under the rug. Because one cheerleaders sister is looking into the past to find out what REALLY happened to these five girls and whether the cops had it wrong the first time... 

This book edges on the darker side and readers can feel the mood as they turn the pages. Not just this though, the book has a tinge of excitement to it. Because as readers WE want to crack the case just as much as Monica does in the story. Kara writes this book in a mesmerizing fashion, and those who read it will understand what I mean. It's as if you are a part of the story as well because you quickly becomes sucked into the story. 

Obviously, I recommend this one very much. I think many are going to love it. And I personally would recommend it. I didn't see the ending coming, and I felt the climax was excellent!
