I enjoyed this one! The writing was solid, and the pacing was really good! The whole unreliable narrator is always an interesting read, but more so when it's done right. And it was.

Hysteria is a book that kept my attention throughout the story. We are introduced to Mallory as she is being accused of a murder, her boyfriend’s murder. I was excited to read this book since Fracture; Miranda’s first novel was one of my favorite books of 2012 with her ability to pull you inside a story I had high expectations about this thriller.

We get flashes of the past and the present as Mallory struggles to remember the night that changed it all. Her parents send her away to a boarding school since everybody in town is talking about the situation. But even if she is in another place she still feels Brian’s presence and has terrible nightmares involving what really happened or is it?.

Not everything is as great once she is in Monroe Academy there is more challenges for her to confront including another murder and some mean situations. I have to warn you it gets a little gory at times but that’s just what makes the story feel more real.

After all of the traumatic events Mallory is left broken and Reid the new love interest is the one to help her, he is charming and it’s at her side in spite of everything. Her best friend Colleen was a nice character but nothing too special.

This book kept my attention and I couldn’t put it down, even if Mallory was just plain strange at times I ended up feeling for her. I liked the complications that where scattered through the story.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The only thing that kept me from giving a higher rating was the ending, it just fell a little flat for me, but if you like suspense, Miranda’s books are great in their own way and I’ll keep reading her work in the future.

I purchased this book for my library after reading. It has so much suspense. I loved it!

Oh boy. I just finished this book and my heart is pounding like crazy! Not anything new - my heart pounded like crazy throughout the whole book. I had no idea what was true and what wasn't and that made the story so interesting. I wanted to believe the main character, but that small seed of doubt planted in my brain scared me. This is the best horror book that I have read in a seriously long time. I couldn't read it before bed. Honestly. I started reading the book at night, and dreamt about knives. Not fun. No more of that.

Instead, I read it on my lunch hour. I couldn't read it after 5pm, approximately. Since most of the reading was done on my breaks, and the book was so suspenseful, I really wanted to just hide in the break room and finish this awesome book. I had to know what happened and I couldn't wait to find out, and just when I thought I knew what was going on, CRAZIER stuff happened. Also, there was a cute boy. Bonus!

I was very happy with the ending. I won't spoil it, but the last 30 or so pages had me very concerned. This is one of my new favorites!
