Week 11 Review: The One That Got Away With Murder

From Goodreads:
Be careful who you fall for...

Robbie and Trevor Cresmont have a body count—the killer kind. Handsome and privileged, the Crestmont brothers' have enough wealth to ensure they’ll never be found guilty of any wrongdoing, even if all of Happy Valley believes they're behind the deaths of their ex-girlfriends. First there was soccer star Victoria Moreno, Robbie's ex, who mysteriously drowned at the family lake house. Then, a year later, Trevor's girlfriend died of a suspicious overdose.

But the Crestmonts aren't the only ones with secrets. Lauren O'Brian might be the new girl at school, but she's never been a good girl. With a dark past of her own, she's desperate for a fresh start. Except when she starts a no-strings-attached relationship with Robbie, her chance is put in jeopardy. During what’s meant to be their last weekend together, Lauren stumbles across shocking evidence that just might implicate Robbie.

With danger closing in, Lauren doesn't know who to trust. And after a third death rocks the town, she must decide whether to end things with Robbie or risk becoming another cautionary tale.

This is an edge-of-your-seat debut YA thriller about a teen who is forced to confront her past in order to catch a murderer before she ends up the next victim. Perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.

My Review:
I had a fantastic time reading this book! The mystery was so interesting-because what are the chances that both girlfriends of the Crestmont boys ending up dying? I had such a great time watching Lauren look into what happened! 

The thing that she had with Robbie wasn't serious, just a summer thing, but when she goes to the lake house, well, things get complicated, because of the evidence that she found. Which prompts her to look into the case. And boy, where there a few things going on, especially with Lauren being on the soccer team with Victoria's old team. 

Lauren has a past, she used to smoke and do drugs and something happened that caused them to move. We slowly got bits and pieces of that time, but it wasn't until near the end that we got the whole story, and it was really heartbreaking that all that happened to her, and what she did because of it! 

It was really entertaining to watch events escalate, and the case continue on, and all the events along the way! The way her relationships with those around her changed, her mom, her soccer team, and Robbie, yeah, it was such a great read, and I loved how it came together! That one chapter from the bad guy's perspective...chilling! 

Loved reading this book and I'd love to read more by Trish Lundy!
