“But sometimes, mutual suspicion can make for a solid partnership.”

Harvard Law student Madison Rivera is flattered when charismatic law professor and Federal Judge Kathryn Conroy asks her to interview for an internship. She’s quickly hired and falls into a complicated web of secrets far more dangerous than the one she is hiding herself. Madison is hoping to get information about her brother Danny’s drug possession case. Kathryn was the judge who sentenced him and Danny is convinced she (and everyone else involved) is corrupt. Then he disappears and the fun begins. Madison and Kathryn are both in over their heads, are not sure who their real enemies are and must learn to trust each other if they are to survive.

The Intern is a breathtaking wild ride! Told from the viewpoints of both women, the plot is fast paced, full of suspense and impossible to put down! Kathryn’s backstory explains a lot and makes her a sympathetic character. She and Madison share a love of family that has complicated their lives. The Intern is a must read! 5 stars.

WOW! I always enjoy Michele Campbell's books and this one was no exception! I couldn't put this book down. It really wasn't what I expected and there were so many twists that it kept me on my toes. As I was reading, I kept thinking this would be a great movie. I wish I could go into detail but I'm afraid that would give too much away.

I only gave 4 stars because I wanted the ending to be a little longer, yes that is how much invested I was into the main charcters lives.

There’s a lot going on in this book. Harvard law student Madison gets the job as being an intern to Judge Kathryn. Madison’s brother is in jail for drugs but he was framed. A lot of crooked things going on throughout this book. Lots of secrets too. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review. To be published October 2023.

Action packed, it had me gripped from the very beginning. Madison is a law student and is applying for an internship with Judge Conroy, a judge she holds in high regard. But, in her application, she neglects to list her brother as a sibling as he was charged with a drugs crime. He insists he is innocent and Madison is keen to help him. But if she is caught not declaring her brother, she could lose her job.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was sharp and thrilling. Great plot and the characters were very well written. This book kept me guessing and I have no doubt it'll be at the top of everyone's TBR.

I am so glad I hung in there on this one. I was tempted to tap out simply because I'm not a fan of mafia/mob twists. Once this one got going and things started to unspool, I was riveted. It was complex and twisty and intriguing. A book that you can simply get lost in as you watch everything play out.

Thank you to NetGalley.
I enjoyed the Intern, interesting storyline and characters, not my usual psychological thrillers, but enjoyable
Story about crooked judges, police etc.
Would recommend

This story wasn’t quite what I expected and felt like there were too many plot holes to get into. I liked the dual story/narration, but the ending seemed too convenient and didn’t sit right with me. It was a fast read and fairly well written so overall, a decent read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fast paced, interesting, and well written. I enjoyed the clever plot and the outcome of the book, which I did NOT figure out.

Michelle Campbell never disappoints. She creates characters that you become invested in as well as their stories. The Intern was another winner that I flew through in 3 evenings. I highly recommend this book to others.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like crime/courtroom/cop drama books, or anything to do with lawyers or the law in general, but I requested this book from NetGalley because I have read all of Michele Campbell’s books and enjoyed them all, and I’m happy to say that this was the first of this genre that I didn’t hate! It follows Madison as she gets an internship at Harvard Law with Judge Kathryn Conroy, a professor she really looks up to. Right off the bat we discover both women are keeping major secrets. It was very fast paced and exciting and the ending was my favorite. It did not disappoint!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for a review and opinions are my own.

The Intern by Michelle Campbell

When Harvard law student, Madison Rivera gets the opportunity to intern for her long term mentor Judge Kathryn Conroy, she thinks she’s hit the jackpot. But after her brother winds up in jail for drug charges and she realizes it was under Judge Conroy things start to get very complicated. After a little digging she starts to believe the Judge isn’t who she pretends to be. Maybe even Mafia ties. There is definitely more to the story and the Judge and Madison need to work it all out before more people die.
All in all, a good story. At first I did not like the Judge at all but in the end I felt for her too. The ending was very good.

Wow!!! I really enjoyed every minute of this book. I was constantly second guessing who the “good guys” were. This is probably my favorite Campbell book I’ve read so far. I especially loved the way it ended! 5 stars!

Michele Campbell is one of my favorite writers, and she did not disappoint with The Intern. The author has the talent to paint her characters with a fine brush. I felt like I could reach out and touch them. Michele Campbell also knows how to create breathless suspense on a page. I read a lot of psychological thrillers, and without a doubt, Michele Campbell is by far one of the best writers.

Madison Rivera is a hard working law school student at Harvard. She is happily surprised when her professor, a well known Judge asks her to intern for her. She jumps at the chance even though her brother is in jail and embroiled in a mafiaeque situation.
As the days go by, the Judge seems to trust her more and more and ask her for personal favors. When Madison discovers a tie between her brother and the judge's history she is on high alert. Is the judge setting her up? #Stmartins #TheIntern #MicheleCampbell

One of my favorite authors!! 12/10!! Loved! I couldn’t decide how I felt about the characters. Had me so hung up on every word as the story and characters developed. Michelle Campbell’s writing flows so naturally and smoothly very easy to read and understand. Makes the best quick page turning reads!!

Another great read by Michele Campbell! I have read all of her books, and this one lives up to the expectations! In The Intern, we meet Madison, a Harvard law student who is on track for success. Madison applies to a killer internship and is doing great in her internship. But she has a secret, that if found out, could ruin her chances at succeeding in the legal world. Before we know it, Madison is thrust into a world of secrets, lies, and even murder. Trying to save her career, and her family, I found myself rooting for Madison all the way through the book! There were twists and turns that I did NOT see coming. Definitely a 5 star read!

This is the most heterosexual gay book I’ve ever read. It was very weird to have a premise that hinges so much on this young intern yearning for this older woman’s attention be so weirdly cold on the push/pull energy between them, to the point where there were times in the narrative where I couldn’t believe the main character would keep herself in such a stupidly dangerous situation, because almost all her decisions seem to come from the head and not the heart. Still, this is a page-turner. Even the chapters that take part in the past and fill in context had tension to spare, and despite not feeling overly connected to the characters, I still wanted them both to get out of the mess they were in and kept wondering how they would it. A very accomplished thriller.

I don't normally like plots involving lawyers and courtrooms, but I found this one intriguing. I do think the beginning of the book started out strong. Once I got to the middle of the book I did lose some interest, but I was still motivated to read to the end to find out what happened. The story is told from two POVs, Madison and Kathryn. The middle of the book starts to get a little too mob involved for what I prefer. If you like those type of story lines then this one you will love!

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow!!! This book was a little different than other Michele Campbell book I’ve read! I enjoy her books and this one did not disappoint either! I couldn’t put it down! It had mafia vibes and espionage vibes but still thriller vibes! I highly recommend!

Wow! When I first started this book, I thought it wasn't going to be my kind of book....I was so wrong! It sucked me in, and couldn't put it down. Excellent character development, I felt like I knew them personally. The story definitely keeps you guessing on who's goid, who's bad, and who's both.
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and author for the chance to read this advanced copy.
