Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of "The Changing Man" by Tomi Oyemakinde. I love a YA thriller and this did not disappoint. Boarding school and young sleuth is a great premise. Toss in some folklore legend mystery or myth and I am here for it. We all can reflect back to some :myth we were exposed to and with the right setting, we got spooked too! This book reminded me of those feeling from long ago. It was a quick read and I look forward to reading more from this fresh YA voice.

I was so excited to read The Changing Man, but the writing style wasn't for me. The beginning read very choppy and was so slowly paced — even with big events happening — that I struggled to stay interested. Usually YA thrillers pull me right in, but this one was a miss. Hopefully other readers will enjoy it more than I did.
