Blog Tour/Review - Before They Find Us by Michelle A. Hansen (#giveaway $25 GC)


Reviewed by Jenna
Rated 5 out of 5 Stars!!


 Before They Find Us by Michelle A. Hansen 
Publication date: November 2013
Genres: Romantic Thriller, Young Adult



Synopsis

I’m going to make you wish you were dead.

Just a text. Seventeen-year-old Rebecca Hales tries not to worry. Probably a wrong number. Not really meant for her, and definitely not related to the crime she witnessed six years ago. Right?

Then two states away, a bomb goes off in her best friend’s locker. Soon Ryan is labeled a terrorist and runs to the safest place he knows—Rebecca’s house in small-town Wyoming. It doesn’t take long for the FBI to show up asking questions. Rebecca lies, of course, and says she hasn’t seen him.

Now she’s neck-deep in it with him, whatever “it” is. The only way out is to return to Vegas, where Ryan is a wanted man. The city of lies and illusion tests Rebecca’s wits as she struggles to find the person who framed Ryan and why.

Is Rebecca’s text linked to the bombing? And what does it have to do with a six year old murder? Rebecca needs to find out before she loses Ryan—and her own life.

Book provided by Author in exchange for an honest review.

Before They Find Us is listed as a Thriller/Contemporary/Young Adult book and to be honest, 2 of the 3 of those I am not a HUGE fan of. That being said, I flipping LOVED this book. It did not come across as "high school-ish" which it actually was, since the main characters in the book are 17 years old.

Here is the blurb for the book just in case you missed it:

Every SINGLE character in this book was written well and I loved every one of them! I have been sitting here actually trying my best to come up with something negative to say about it, but I can not think of one single thing. Not the characters (obviously!) not the writing, grammar or spelling, NOTHING. It was very well written and very easy to read. I did not want to put it down.

If the blurb draws you in, read the book, you will not be sorry.

Michelle Hansen you have written a fantastic book. I can not wait to read another book from you. Thank you for the opportunity!
