What happens when your idol becomes tangled in a web of lies and deceit that surrounds your brother who claims he’s innocent? Thus begins the journey of Madison. A current Harvard attendee who wants nothing more than to be a successful lawyer. On the verge of loosing her brother this pre law girl has her hands full trying to figure out who is telling the truth and who is lying.

Balancing your work and home life is always a challenge but The Intern takes our basic problems and amplifies them by 1000. I really enjoyed having both povs of Madison and Kathryn. It made it a lot more interesting and created a perfect rooting system. Both ladies will leave you second guessing the other up until the very last pages.

If you enjoy crime thrillers this one is for you.

I was given this book on NetGalley for an honest review-
I absolutely devoured this book! What a book! If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would — it was absolutely amazing!
Madison is a Harvard student who has absolutely love Judge Conroy. When an intern job opens for the judge she applies and is so excited when she gets it although a friend warns her the judge is dirty. When her brother is arrested she wants to ask the judge for help but does she dare ?
She is drawn into the judges world but at what expense. Someone is trying to kill the judge, . Can they both stay alive ? As they use each their for answers the cat and mouse game becomes deadly.

This novel wasted no time jumping right in to the story of Kathy and Madison. While in the beginning I couldn’t help but think, this relationship doesn’t make sense, what?! That is just all part of the authors build up. I shouldn’t be shocked as I thoroughly enjoyed Campbell’s “It’s Always The Husband”. Every time I thought I had a finger on the story, another surprise came along.

Thank you to NetGalley for the copy!

I LOVED this book! I would start reading about 630 in the evening and before I knew it it was after 8pm! I literally could not put it down! DO NOT miss this one!!

Michele Campbell does it AGAIN! Another suspenseful & thriller book that keeps you asking more questions & wanting answers. Really enjoyed this book and finished it 2 days! The back & forth between Madison aka the intern & Judge Conroy along with their current & past stories kept the book interesting & made for a quick read. This book had a handful of twists & turns that will keep you on your toes. Highly recommend this book!

This book was full of surprises and I didn’t want to put it down because I had to know how things would work out and it did not disappoint! The book showcases a judge and a law student/intern and the things people will go through to protect their families. Recommend this book if you’re a fan of thrillers/mysteries. Thanks to NetGalley and the author for an ARC of this book. Enjoyed!

Madison is a Harvard Law student working to become a successful lawyer just like her longtime mentor and current professor and judge, Kathryn Conroy. So when Kathryn offers Madison the opportunity to intern with her office, Madison is more than thrilled for the chance-there’s just one thing problem-her brother who is currently in federal prison on drug charges. He claims he’s innocent and that everyone involved in the case is dirty but he’s been in trouble before so Madison doesn’t know if that’s true. So when Madison promises to start doing some digging into his case and finds out that Kathryn is involved in the case, Madison finds a lot more than she bargained for.
It’s told from the POV of both Madison and Kathryn and in past and present timelines. At times it felt very “first draft” in the writing style but I didn’t mind that as much as I did how much mob feel there was. If you’re into mob/gang crime and corruption books, this one is for you.
Thanks to St. Martins Press and NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for my review.

Another great page turner from this author! Somewhat predictable in parts, but it didn't stop me from staying up late to finish in order to find out how it would all play out.

Loved the idea behind the story and I think Campbell did a really good job writing a compelling story! I was invested in the family and the internship the main character takes. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars!

I'm a huge fan of Michele Campbell's books! I couldn't wait to read this one. Thank you to Net Galley for making this possible. I will tell you this one did not disappoint! And OH, that Intern, keep your eyes open! I love a great book that grabs you and keeps you reading to discover what will happen next. I will definitely recommend this to my "thriller" friends.

Michele Campbell always writes a good thriller and this one did not disappoint. Clerking for a judge is supposed to be a prestigious thing but this mentorship turns dark, twisted and dangerous. (I don't want to say more lest riun it for the reader!)

So, pick up this book, read it and recommend it to EVERYONE .. and if Christmas or Hannukah rolls around and you don't know what book to gift...chose this one! Highly recommended.

I have been anxiously waiting for this book for a long time, so I tore through it as soon as I got it. Michele Campbell hit it out of the park with this one. Told from dual points of view from Madison, an ambitious law student, and Kathy Conroy, Harvard professor and respected judge, this book is all about power, ambition, and most of all, the things we do for family.

When Madison is approached by her idol Judge Conroy to work as her intern, she can't believe her luck. She's dreaming of a corner office, expensive clothes, and moving up in the professional world. So when the judge is interviewing her, Madison, in a moment of panic, tells the judge that she has no siblings. The problem is she does have one, a brother Danny who has been arrested for a serious drug charge that he insists he didn't commit. Madison gets the internship and is now wondering how to tell the judge about her lie when a more serious problem arises: her beloved idol is rumored to be corrupt.

The dual points of view beautifully showed the parallels in two very different lives and made the book very much character driven. However, that doesn't mean the plot suffered; while it didn't move at breakneck speed, layers were uncovered one at a time, each one so shocking that I was compelled to keep reading. While an entertaining read, this was very much a story of both deception and redemption. Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for this coveted early read. THE INTERN will publish October 3, 2023.

Rounded up to 3.5 stars.

Started out a bit repetitive and clunky in execution but picked up about 40% in and stayed interesting and quite strong to the end. Told from two different viewpoints and timeframes, the pace and ending were generally good. I was pleasantly surprised after the problematic start, in my view, to the book.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Madison wants nothing more than to be a successful lawyer. She currently attends Harvard, and when her professor and idol, Kathryn Conroy, asks her if she's interested in an internship, she is more than happy to apply. Her brother, Danny, has been arrested for a crime that he says he didn't commit and everyone one is lying. When Madison finds out that Judge Conroy is part of it, she decides to do some digging. Will she find out her idol is part of a corrupt world?

I've been reading Michele Campbell's books since 2017 and I have loved them all. THE INTERN was a real interesting one. I really enjoyed these characters and the different situations they were caught up in. Kathryn didn't have the best start during her childhood and found herself involved in much more than she bargained for. Madison found herself stuck between helping her family and her dream of becoming a lawyer. I thought the story ended perfectly and I can't wait until her next book.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This review will be shared to my Instagram (@coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.

Okay this book officially creeped me out, but in a totally good way. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next!

Michele Campbell has done it again!
There's absolutely nothing I didn't enjoy here as this grabs your attention from the start and continues to excel at rapid fire pace.
There's twist, turns, and all out war on the homefront with tons of intrigue and suspense for the action packed thriller fans.
I'm a huge fan of Campbells because she keeps it constantly flowing, presents characters that are lively and colorful, and always has a plot thicker than gravy!
The Intern was right up my alley having worked as an intern in the Luzerne County Public Defender's Office as a young snapper.
The fact that Judge Kathy has some secrets up her sleeve is just as enticing as the intern's involvement in seeking help for her brother Danny.
Could this judge be involved in corruption?
Could there be more to these cases that connect them especially with the Judge's immediate family involved?
A cop named Charlie Wallace is also in play here with plenty to offer up and that last name Wallace is one you might want to keep and eye on as we have another case involving Edward Wallace which plays a crucial role in all this madness.
Houses are being broken into and there's tons of clues ripe for the pickin.'
Loved it!!!
Thank you for the ARC in exchange for this honest review!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the copy of The Intern by Michele Campbell. I loved how this book started out great because Madison was an interesting character and I really liked her. That kind of changed when her first lie made me roll my eyes, because WHY lie? This turned out to be a dual POV story, and Kathryn’s was not compelling. It took so long to explain what led to current events that I got bored.
I loved the idea of this story better than the execution. This is probably the book for you if you love to be kept guessing and love drama with a tidy ending. It was a decent read, but not great for me.

What an amazing thriller! This is the type of Intern you will definitely need to keep an eye on! A true page turner.

Thank you #NetGalley and #StMartins for choosing me to review #TheIntern by #MicheleCampbell. I was already a fan of Michele’s books and this one did not disappoint either. Loved the drama between the main characters. I did not want to put the book down. Highly recommend.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.
