I really enjoyed this read! It had a unique feel to it and I loved all the twists. I thought the manipulation and corruption with all the characters made this book difficult to put down.
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

Okay this cover immediately grabbed me and I was totally invested as soon as I read the synopsis. I loved the connection between a law student and her finding out about potential corruption and trying to get to the bottom of it without putting herself in trouble. As someone who’s husband went through law school and being with him throughout his journey, I really appreciated the authors authenticity to the book and it definitely seemed like they did their research on what law students go through during school. I loved how fast paced this book was and it just kept me wanting more and more. I loved the dual POV of Kathryn and Madison because I feel like it just helped the reader understand everything that was going on through both sides.
I loved the narrator of this book! I felt like she drew the listener in and just kept me engaged throughout the book. The narrator will definitely go on my list of narrators I would like to listen to books from in the future!
Overall, this is definitely one that kept my interest and I enjoyed reading! Definitely one I would recommend!
5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟for The Intern by Michele Campbell,
Narrated by Sarah Mollo-Christensen.
This is a great Legal Thriller. Well written and beautifully narrated.
The characters are well developed and the plot is constructed to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat. The characters can be really good or really bad. There are no dull moments.
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to review this Audiobook.
This was a joy to listen to!
This book was spectacular - I absolutely loved the ending, but it was a journey getting there! I really enjoyed the characters in this book and appreciated that they were not just good or bad - there was depth to them that some thrillers can lack. The suspense was high, and I was worried for Madison the entirety of the book. This is such a fun read.
Legal thriller fans will really enjoy this -- especially those who are interested in Harvard politics, the seedier side of law, and powerful organizations that make offers you can't refuse.
The dual points of view worked well, and it was a very entertaining listen, but in the end, the info-dumpiness of the first half got to me. That, and perhaps legal thrillers just aren't my jam.
Thanks to NetGalley, the author, the narrator, and the publisher for providing a copy of this audio in exchange for my honest review.
Corruption is the name of the game in this legal thriller. Madison, a law student, clinches an internship working for Judge Conroy (also one of her law professors), this should be the opportunity of a lifetime, but it ends up potentially costing her her life. Madison's brother is framed for a crime he didn't commit and Madison is determined to help him. Using her connections to the judge, who is also the judge assigned to her brother's case, she uncovers a web of corruption. Is the judge guilty or is she just a pawn in the game too? How far will Madison and the judge go to protect and stay loyal to their families? Where is the root of all this evil and who's innocent and who's guilty?
Hold on for a twist-filled wild ride. This was a super entertaining, and attention keeping book. Even if you're not a huge legal-thriller fan (I'm usually not), you'll enjoy this one! The narration was great too. All around a solid read/listen!
Very suspenseful, kept me guessing till the end. Its not what youre expecting when you see the title 'The Intern'.
I listened to this book while traveling, so my review might be a little off since some of the pieces were listened at during times that I might have been distracted. The first part of the book felt slower than anticipated, but picked up in parts 2-4. Not sure that I loved the ending, but things made more sense by then. For readers who are looking forward to college or legal education and how some situations can be clouded by past events. Many readers will love this thriller will less blood and more collusion.
The Intern by Michele Campbell was a fun read! I feel like this was a different pace from other legal thrillers that I have read and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I had the privilege of listening to the audio version of the novel, which I highly recommend.
Madison Rivera is a law student at Harvard who has an opportunity to intern for her idol, Judge Kathryn Conroy. At the same time, Madison's brother, Danny, is arrested and forced to plead guilty in a capital drug case which is being overseen by none other than, Judge Conroy. Now torn between supporting her brother and pursuing her dream career, Madison needs to tread carefully. But there are deeper conspiracies at play here, and soon Madison finds herself in deep with people who are willing to go to great lengths to keep their operations running smoothly.
The Intern definitely had me second guessing everything and trusting no one. A quick read that is well worth it.
THE INTERN by Michele Campbell is a heart-throbbing and unputdownable legal thriller that keeps you at the edge of your seat. From the moment I started reading, I was hooked, flipping pages eagerly to uncover the mysteries and challenging cliffhangers that the author skillfully weaves throughout the story. The dual points of view from Madison Rivera and Judge Kathryn Conroy make this novel an engaging and thought-provoking read. The plot is perfectly paced, offering an intriguing mystery and well-executed revelations that are both surprising and believable. The conclusion ties up loose ends neatly, leaving readers satisfied. The only minor drawback was the complex web of characters and their connections, which occasionally required going back to piece things together. However, in the end, the intricate web contributed to the depth of the story. As a fan of well-written, fast-paced legal thrillers, I can wholeheartedly recommend THE INTERN. It's a captivating and satisfying read that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced audiobook copy of this book.
This book has vibes of the TV show "How to Get Away With Murder". A law student gets the opportunity to apply for an internship with her professor who is also a judge. The only problem is it's the same judge that is trying her brother's court case. Should she believe her brother that the judge is crooked, or believe the judge that she has always idolized?
I really enjoyed this book. I felt like the ending was too wrapped up quickly, but overall it kept my interest, was easy to listen to, and had two dynamic narrators. There wasn't too many characters, and they were all different enough to keep track of without getting confused. I will definitely read more from this author.
The two tag lines for this book could be “You should never try to meet your heroes, lest they have feet of clay” and “There are no coincidences”. Madison is doing all she can to make the most of her time while studying at Harvard law school. She has been in love with the practice of law since she saw and heard Kathryn Conroy speak at her school as a teen. When an internship for this very judge drops into her lap at the same time her brother is arrested she is more than intrigued. let the games continue. For the judge they began when she was born and for Madison when her brother went down a different path than the one she chose. There author has crafted a scary, twisted tale that encompasses the all facets of the judicial system from the police up to the high echelons of the court system and every level in-between and some pretty terribly unsavory criminals as well. Can Madison and Judge Conroy outsmart them all and survive? With so much deceit, betrayal, out and out lies, threats and more it’s a compelling listen that had me waiting for the resolution. The narration added to the listening experience.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.com in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The intern is an edge of your seat, twist filled journey. Campbell does a beautiful job of describing each of the main characters stories that you can't stop listening. I needed to know that Harvard law student, Maddie, an intern to Judge Kathryn Conroy didn't get embroiled in the Judge's dirty work.
A twisty, new thriller from Michele Campbell, The Intern feels like a legal drama but isn't set in the courtroom. We follow an ambitious law student who gains an internship with a judge she has idolized for years. And things aren't what they seem.
The book had the right balance of mystery and twists to keep me invested the whole way through but enough clues to allow me to figure some things out along the way. I also liked the balance of alternating viewpoints and the pacing. Sure, you have to suspend some disbelief, but that's expected for a book in this genre. This is my first book by this author, and I will definitely seek out more.
The narration was fantastic!
Thank you to #NetGalley and #MacmillanAudio for a free copy of The Intern by Michele Campbell. All opinions are my own.
I loved this story so much! I was completely drawn in from the beginning. The audiobook was well executed and very engaging. The characters are well developed and frustrating at times, but very relatable. The two Point of Views are easy to follow and keep you invested throughout the story. This is a quick read that is sure to please legal thriller fans and those who just love a good suspenseful drama. This is my first Michele Campbell book and it certainly won't be my last. 5 stars!
Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Macmillan Audio.
This book took me by surprise. I didn’t see it going in the direction it did and I liked it. I listen to the audiobook and it was well done.
Thanks netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
Madison Rivera worked her butt off! Getting into Harvard law was no easy feat. Impressing her professor and being asked to apply to her open internship position was even more exciting. But her brother's recent run in with the law threatens to derail her efforts.
Judge Conroy is Madison's idol. But this internship is shaping up to be more than she bargained for. Ocelating between Madison and Judge Conroy's upbringing we are forced to shine a light on decisions made and the lasting impacts the cause. Can we ever outrun our upbringing.
This thrilling drama proved a poignant read.
This thriller was FANTASTIC! I loved how this story was told, the character development, the depth to each character, how each new detail was presented in a way that changes your perspective. The writing was fantastic and had everything I love in a book. I didn’t see any of the twists coming.
Madison is a law student and gets an internship with her professor, Judge Kathryn Controy, who she has idolized since her childhood. Madison has her own back story and family dynamic which alters they way she starting to put together all of these puzzle pieces about her internship and who truly is Judge Controy. Can Judge Controy be trusted, does she know anything about Madisons brother, is she a criminal? This is a fast pace legal thriller with lots of twists and turns, and never knowing who can be trusted.
Couldn’t put this quick moving thriller down. So many twists and turns I didn’t seem coming. I absolutely love this author and this book did not disappoint. Still thinking about the ending days after finishing the book!
A mix of leagally blonde and the godfather makes this awesome thriller! Loved it from the beginning to the end. Thanks NetGallery!
