Before I Let Go by Marieke NijkampMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
[I received a free e-copy of this book from NetGalley for review purposes.]
Most of this book was pretty mediocre. Several times it seemed that things were getting sinister, supernatural, and that something really bad or interesting was going to happen. Nothing ever did. There was so much emphasis on Kyra's "psychic" abilities, and none of it was ever explained. A lot of supernatural things happened (the voices, the shadows, the garden blooming in the middle of winter, etc.), but none of it was ever accounted for. Aaron's revelation at the end was not the murderous plot I was expecting after all the junk I had to slog through. And the ending was ridiculous - Corey just flies away and decides she isn't going to bother telling Kyra's story because no one would believe her and she gave up the letters Kyra wrote but never sent, so the whole damn "adventure" was for nothing.
Also, Corey was a shitty friend.
The book was okay, so two stars. But I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're looking for a good thriller. Thriller this was not.
