I'm a fan of Chelsea Ichaso's books so I was thrilled to read "We Were Warned." It has a great atmosphere and tension throughout and the ending was a surprise. Entertaining read for mystery/suspense fans although not me favorite Ichaso book. Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the ARC. Pub Date: March 4, 2025.

#WeWereWarned

Thank you Sourcebooks Fire for the copy of We Were Warned by Chelsea Ichaso. I liked how creepy the curse and the ruins were. Even though I didn’t believe the motivation for the murders or who the murderer turns out to be, I liked the leadup to the reveal. I liked Eden and Caleb but the other characters were one-dimensional. I have loved other books by Ichaso, but this one fell flat for me. 3 stars

Fairport Village was shut down 20 years ago after a murder. Eden, Caleb, and some other friends want to figure out what happened all those years ago. One kid dies, a hidden camera is found, one of their mothers used to date the murder victim. What is going on here? Who is hiding secrets? As they dig deeper into this past, they find things they never expected nor wanted to know. It was ok. I ended up skimming more than anything. I did not expect the ending at all. This wasn't as good as her previous books.
