Silo Boys is exactly what I was expecting. It is atmospheric and a bit heavy. There’s a tone of...unease...foreboding throughout, and the mystery works. What I appreciated most, though, is the use of local color. The rural setting was familiar and sort of homey for me, a person born and bred in a small town, I think that’s why it was so compelling. Imagine being in a place where everyone knows everyone else. Then, imagine a kidnapping or an unsolved murder or the like in that town. It’s tantamount to the trope of being trapped. Feeling trapped is not much different.

A thoroughly enjoyable gripping mystery, Silo Boys served to be a page turner for me. Having read it in one go, I found it to be a very satisfying thriller.

Despite being thrown off by the initial (minor) info-dump and the fact that the novel is told in a somewhat jarring POV, I found this book to be fairly interesting. I didn't love it, but I am a sucker for a mystery that will keep you guessing and interested until the very end. I'm usually great at pinpointing the culprit, but this one threw me off, which added to my enjoyment. Overall, I might not reread it, but I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Thank you to the publisher for the free copy in return for an honest review.

This was a very fast paced YA mystery. I love reading YA mysteries and recommending them to my students. I think some will be mature enough to enjoy this books. Lots of twists and turns that kept me waiting to find out what was going to happen next. Great plot, a very enjoyable read!

Silo Boys was an interesting crime/mystery with various twists and turns in it. Though I might add that I sometimes struggled a little bit with a couple of the characters, but it was overall a fun read.

Silo Boys took me for a ride that didn’t stop until the last page. Twist after twist, turn after turn, I had no idea what the answers were until the very end. I like to consider myself a person who can put puzzles together, but the puzzle presented in Silo Boys left me speechless in the end. I’m kind of obsessed with the idea that I couldn’t guess the ending. I think it’s a testament to the author’s abilities.

I will be honest... I got this book by mistake. I accidentally clicked on it and got a copy when, after reading the blurb, I did not want to read it... but I am SO GLAD i did!!
This book was fantastic. Once i started i could not put it down. I loved our main character and how brave she is for searching for answers, and juggling her grief and fear.
I cannot wait for more from this author!!

Silo Boys by Amy Brooke Odell is an interesting book about a group of close friends whose lives all change in one night. This book is told from Addy prospective, a nineteen year old girl. Two years ago three boys were seen walking to the silo. The next morning one boy is dead, Addy's boyfriend is missing, and the other friend denied being there. Addy gets a note from her boyfriend saying he's back in town, but before Addy can meet him, his body is found. I found this book to be fast paced read, which kept my interest all the way through. I recommend this book to all who enjoy a good mystery.

I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

At first, i didnt know if i would like this book. The author tried to get a lot of information in at the beginning. But, once we got past the influx on info, the story really grabs ahold of you. The author does a great job of building tension. From around the 30% point, i kept thinking we were so close to naming the killer. It always felt like we were on the tip of the reveal.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!


Initially, Silo Boys drew me in based on the summary and the cover art. I had high hopes honestly...

I hate to say it, but i was disappointed. The story itself was... mediocre at best. A small town mystery. the typical high school football players are the heroes/stars... the girls who date them are simply...defined by that. There were some interesting twists... some decent chapters.. overall, it had so much potential. it just didn't.. hit every poitn for me.. sorry.

A mediocre small-town mystery, where the high school football players are heroes to everyone and the young women who date them are defined by their relationships with the team stars. The characters were unconvincing, as was the first-person voice that was more appropriate for a third-person omniscient narrator.

Silo Boys was a fast paced book, that keeps you on edge. Definitely did not expect some of the turn of events that played out through out the book.

Rating 3.5

This is a great read with many twists and turns to keep you gripped and wanting to read more. Looking forward to reading more from Amy.

Wow. That’s really all I can say about this book. I really really enjoyed it. I could not put it down. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was as anxious and paranoid as the narrator. This book kept me guessing up until the very last pages. It was such a quick read, and I loved every bit of it. It was so good.

A fast paced older YA.The twist and turns kept me reading until the end in one sitting. The less you know the better so be assured there is a ending.

This had such a neat supernatural feel to it, I loved every minute of reading it. The characters were great and the mystery had me from the start. The author also had great atmosphere building in The novel.

There were a lot of twists that I was not expecting. For such a short book there was certainly a lot packed into it!

4.25⭐️’s

Right from the beginning of this novel I fell in love with the author’s ability to use tons of detail, but not in a boring matter. There have been tons of books I’ve read in the last couple of years that drag on and on with details about non useful things. But with Silo Boys it’s a different story; many chapters go on and on with narrative. However it keeps you interested to keep going.

The ending was such a surprise to me and normally in mystery books I can pin point the person who done it. That was not the case with Silo Boys. Right to the last page it kept my speechless.

A fantastic read, that everyone one should have on their TBR list.

What an interesting mystery to solve throughout this book. This story twists and turns around, page by page and you have no clue how this story will end. It keeps you on your toes to guess what will happen. An easy read and I really enjoyed the story even though it was for teens/young adults. It gets 4 points from me!

This is a really interesting mystery, with a well written story, even if it's a little too slow. This is caused by many repetitions, as the main character tells several people the same things. We don't need to hear it every time.
The plot may also be a little weak, but you can read the book and decide for yourself, as it's an enjoyable book.
