Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Kindle ARC of Little Threats by Emily Schultz. I didn't know what to expect when I requested Little Threats but I'm really glad I did request it Not what I expected but in a great way! Carter and Kennedy are twin girls, teenagers, with some mutual friends and a streak of the wild side running through both of them. The book begins with Kennedy being released from prison for the murder of the girls' best friend, Haley. Because Haley and Kennedy were high on the night of the murder, Kennedy is not sure what really happened. As her life outside of prison begins after a 15-year sentence, it is spent attempted to mend fences with her daughter and her father, Gerry. Laine, Gerry's wife and the girls' mother died of cancer while Kennedy was in prison. What was most amazing and enjoyable about Little Threats is that it was very realistic. No outrageous gun scenes, no -over-the-top accusations in a court room, no "serial" detectives who are out to catch their suspect, no murders other than the one that was already committed by the time the book began. It was a steady, well-written thriller without being like so many suspense/thrillers on the market right now. Little threats was a surprisingly, taut good read.
4-5 stars, as I was absolutely gripped by this book when I started, and had a hard time putting it down most of the time! It did have some very slow parts; which was much easier to set the book aside and is why I can’t give a complete 5 star rating! I thought it was very captivating and mysterious, but also written in such an enthralling manner that it absolutely had me yearning to find out the whole truth and nothing but the truth! I also found that Emily Schultz is one of those who knows how to write in a beautiful manner, which I truly didn’t understand until I stumbled on a book a couple years ago, and this one definitely fits into that category! It can be chilling, thrilling, shocking, and twisty, while also beautiful and absolutely realistic! A must read, for those who love a good murder mystery with some amazing and realistic family drama underlying everything! Preorder today, this is not to be missed!
Will make sure I buzz it up on all the different platforms!

This one was a good quick read! I enjoyed the drama of the sisters and crime journalism! Some parts i was bored but perhaps it because I read a lot of thrillers and things were predictable. Overall I liked it.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Twin sisters Kennedy and Carter are running wild during the 1990s, but Kennedy is soon suspected in the murder of her friend Haley. The fact she has no memory of the night doesn’t help. 15 years later, Kennedy is released from jail, her sister doesn’t seem to want anything to do with her. Her release brings a great deal of media attention; a crime show host comes poking into the past, asking questions that some people would rather never be answered
