What in the misogynistic predictable absolutely stupid hell did I just read ??? Possibly one of the worst books in existence ( )

“think it was then I realized it was true—a lot of the friends you have in high school will be friends you’ll never see again. The only thing keeping you together is a giant building. Once you’re out of that building, the invisible binds snap, and you’re set free.”
― Avery Bishop, Girl Gone Mad

Welll..well, well, well..was this a wild read or what?

I admit the beginning did not draw me in. Slow burn people! Wait for it.

And wait you should because this book is GOOD. It so plays with your head. But more than anything..it's damn creepy! Really creepy! a very so lid and riveting thriller.

"The Harpies" are in danger and they do not know who can help them. Who are the Harpies? Well the "mean girls" from school..all grown up. Going about their own little lives when one of the Harpies..out of nowhere..seemingly commits suicide. Very sad and tragic. But why does a SECOND Harpy then follow?

Is someone out to get the harpies? someone they went to school with and treated terribly? Someone like Grace?

The Harpies were popular but also dangerous..they did horrible things and the whole school was afraid of them. And then there is Grace.

Little Grace. Sweet and innocent with a naive life's view and a beguiling sweetness that drives the Harpies crazy and leads to them doing a thing or two to Grace that cannot be undone.

This story is great! It is told mostly by Emily, one of the ex Harpies and one who feels much guilt for her behavior as a kid. She cannot be happy as an adult and wonders if it is because of the sins of the past. But when Harpies start dropping, Emily, along with another Harpy or two, need to find out what is going on. The truth is more mind blowing then anyone could have imagined..

Read this one fellow mystery fans! It is a slow burn of a book that really is creepy and will have you scrambling to figure out what in the world is going on..if anything.

It is slow to heat up and I'd say around the 2nd quarter of the book is when Girl Gone Mad becomes a book one cannot put down.

So..a strong four stars from me. It completely wowed me. The only negative is things can get very confusing but trust me..all questions will be answered by the last page. Read it! ( )

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. I wasn’t disappointed for the most part. I’m not sure what I was expecting because after reading so many books of this nature, the shock value lessens. Well let me tell you, I’ve read books with mean girls in them and this one wins the Mean Girl award.

I cannot imagine being so young and feeling so much anger and having such a total lack of empathy for another human being as these girls did in this book. There are six of them and they are known as the Harpies...And this is a group of girls in middle school not even high school.

The girls have taken a blood oath. We all know at that age that means everything. The girls do something to one of the unpopular girls, Grace, and have sworn never to tell a soul. Fourteen years later, our main Harpie, Emily, is working as a children’s therapist. She claims to have extreme guilt over what she had done when she was younger. But she continues with her life until her mom calls and tells her that one of her friends has committed suicide.

As Emily reluctantly reconnects with her old friends, it turns out there are not as many left as she expected. Suicide seems to be the common denominator and now Emily is beginning to get a bit scared. Then she believes she sees Grace watching her. And from there, things get pretty crazy. As you read this book, everything you think you know is going to happen is wrong. The ending was totally mind blowing and I really hadn’t even been close with my guesses. I feel odd saying that this book was refreshing given it’s heavy nature, but for this genre, it definitely holds it’s own, especially for a debut novel. ( )

Girl Gone Mad is a look at the power of popularity, bullying, and guilt. Emily Bennett is a therapist who helps kids in trouble. Her life looks pretty perfect at first glance, but lots of things are not what they seem. She was part of a middle school clique that did something bad to the new girl, Grace. And now, people are turning up dead. This psychological thriller moves the reader along on waves of suspense. Who is manipulating who? Once a Harpy, Always a Harpy! ( )

Bullying/Mean Girls have been around forever. We’ve all known them, dealt with them, maybe even been them. But, Avery Bishop brings Mean Girls to a new level in this book. I think at some point, we can all relate to something in this book, but hopefully all the bully’s we have known have grown up and matured.

Scary, eye opening book about how choices and things we’ve done in our youth can come back and haunt us. A work of fiction but not out of the realm of reality. Fast paced storyline and good character development. I look forward to the authors next book.

Thanks to Ms, Bishop, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC. ( )
