“The Cabin” was a solid four-star thriller up until the very end. That doesn’t stop it from being enjoyable in a B horror movie sort of way.The characters are the stereotypical mix that you come to expect from horror movies and fun, fast reading thrillers. There were some plot surprises and enough creepy things to give you some chills. Just. The ending. I can’t quite forgive that one.Overall, “The Cabin” is a fun read for the Halloween season or any other time you’re feeling like a fun and breez...

Only a mystery could go from a 4 to 1 star in the last three pages.(view spoiler)[I'm incredibly surprised by the rating on this book, the fact that it's a best seller and that if this author plays these games all the time, people keep reading her.In the last 3 pages, a character negates her own admission with an admission. Then to free the person she puts behind bars, she frames someone else then kills herself.That's right - she doesn't admit to it and kill herself - she frames someone else. AN...

* I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review *I loved the description of this on NetGalley. It reminded me of a Christopher Pike book I loved when I was a teen, so I was ready for a good murder mystery.Before I was 10% in I was pretty fed up already. The whole book is a mess of showing rather than telling, especially for personality traits. Mackenzie constantly tells us her friend is over protective, or prone to rage etc, and nothing about them is ever shown. It really grat...

This one wasn't for me. Not a great book to begin with, but the ending made the whole endeavor feel like a waste of time. 1.5 stars

I really liked Natasha Preston's "The Cellar", but this book was just an o.k read. Neither the murder mystery, the characters, or even the romance angle made this very memorable.

“If you don’t trust anyone, then no one can screw you over. You’re going to find that out the hard way,” Could this be one of the worst books I've ever read? Yes, yes I think it may be in that slim pile of books that managed to offend and anger me just about every step of the way. RANT REVIEW incoming because oh boy, this one was a doozy. Mild spoilers ahead. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Slut Shaming (mostly unchallenged), Sexism (unchallenged), Sexual Assault (Not only unchallenged but is neve

OH. MY. GOD. All I’m going to say is I love natasha’s work and I cannot stand this ending. It literally ripped my heart out of my chest and feels like someone stomped on me

This book.... Wow I can't even describe it...So amazing and beautiful!!!! I loved it so much!!!!

Seven teenagers venture to a remote cabin for a weekend of fun and frivolities, but the atmosphere soon sours when two of the party are discovered murdered on the kitchen floor. Who among the survivors is responsible? And what secrets are going to be uncovered as they each hunt for the truth?I enjoyed this story's set-up as isolated settings always intrigue me in fiction. I also remained interested enough in the characters' interpersonal relationships to ferret out what really occurred between t...

•My full review can be found on my YouTube channel here: The Cabin by Natasha Preston

3.5 stars. 7 friends go to a cabin to hang out and have a good time, but after a night of partying 2 of them is dead. After that is kind of a blame game party. But I quite enjoyed it, not one of the greatest murder mystery and not very suspenseful but it was very entertaining and I'm interested to read something else by Natasha Preston.

They think they're invincible. They think they can do and say whatever they want.They think there are no consequences. They've left me no choice.It's time for them to pay for their sins.From that prologue and the blurb, I thought I was going to love this book. It sounded like a B scary movie and I love those. As most of my friends on goodreads know, I very rarely 1 star a book, some 2 stars, but I always try to pick books I think I will like, but I missed the mark on this one. I liked a couple o...

(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Fire and NetGalley.) “They’re dead. They’re dead! No, no, no, no!” This was a YA mystery story, in which 2 teens were murdered in a cabin in the woods.Mackenzie was an okay character, and I could understand why she didn’t want to believe that one of her friends was capable of murder. She did stand up and try and find the murderer herself though, even if she did put herself in dange...

The book itself wasn’t awful. But wtf was that ending?

DNF at 40%I loved the premise of this and was so eager to get to it. Sadly I was annoyed by the characters right from the beginning.Mackenzie could be a decent MC. She's loyal and positive and actively tries to see the good side to things. She is also wildly dramatic and her inner monologue was a hot mess. There are several other characters, but in the amount I read, none of them stood out to me.The idea of waking up to a murder in a locked house is 1000% up my alley. To be completely honest, as...

Not a bad book. There was a slight twist at the end and the person I thought did it was the guilty one after all.

3.5 surprising stars for this little gem!! I don't know what it was about this novel but I went in with very low expectations thinking it would be more of a ya level low thrills type of Reed. I was pleasantly surprised! There were two twists at the end that I one saw coming the second one did not see coming at all which added to my enjoyment. I would give this one a shot if you enjoy mysteries and suspense I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

A weekend with friends turns deadly! ❤️ 4.5 stars

Oh Natasha.....what an absolute disaster of a book. This may sound harsh, but I've read better stories from my 7th graders. The first major problem is the absolute outrageous plot and each event seems more impossible and unbelievable. One minute the protagonist is upset by the dead bodies of her friends and then the next she is head over heels in love. The ending is so predictable and the protagonist does very little to even uncover who is the true murderer. I loved Preston's book, "The Cellar",...

I WAS gonna give this book 3 stars, some parts made me consider 4 (it fluctuated), but the ending killed it. It was STUPID!! There's no excuses for how DUMB it was. The ending reminded me why I DON'T like YA books. Yet, while I was reading I was honestly considering a decent positive rating. It's because of those bits of enjoyment my rating is two stars and not one.Despite this book's weak dialogue and lack of editing such as spelling errors and bad sentence structures, I was willing to overlook...
