Editorial Reviews

http://gloriaantypowich.com/ - Gloria Antypowich
I really enjoyed "Read Me Dead" and I am a grandma, not a YA!
Emerald Barnes has crafted a compelling read: a thriller, murder, mystery, with a romantic triangle and betrayal by someone in a position of trust. This book grabbed my attention from the beginning and held my attention to the end. There were many twists and turns in the plot, and the main character experienced real trauma (physically and emotionally), not just the threat of it.

Emerald Barnes does a great job building and holding the suspense. You’ll want to keep reading until the surprise ending. You might even forget the other things you were supposed to be doing!

    This was a interesting story that I was drawn into immediately.

    This was a interesting story that I was drawn into immediately. It had
    just the right amount of mystery/suspense and romantic conflict that I
    like. Alex saw her parents murder when she was 10 years old and 7 years
    later she till has nightmares and struggles with the fact that she might
    die if the killer finds out she talked about it. I enjoyed it and I
    think that I would check out another story from Emerald Barnes in the future.

    I read Read Me Dead in a period of a week. It was a perfect young adult
    novel, with romance, mystery and suspense rolled into an easy-to-devour
    book. As a busy mother, I look for stories I can move through quickly
    because time is limited and so is my attention. This filled my need
    perfectly! This is an excellent summer read for anyone who loves YA/Teen
    mysteries. I look forward to more from Emerald Barnes!

    Reviewer: Justine Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Read Me Dead by Em

    Reviewer: Justine
    Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies

    Read Me Dead by Emerald Barnes had me crying rivers! Emerald was super sneaky, giving us a sleeper story. Starting slowly, then reeling you in with an almighty love triangle, and finally the peak of ripping your heart out halfway through.

    Emerald Barnes starts us out slowly until we reach chapter 3 or 4. By chapter 15, I was well and truly hooked and at chapter 26 or 27, she tears my heart out. I cried for two hrs! (I’m hormonal, but still!) Damn YA reads have been, as Bex would say, “Bloody Amazing” lately!

    That leaves us with the ending, and oh what and ending it was! This ending is most definitely ‘Justine approved’, and she even left a squeak of an opening for a second book. Although to be honest, the ending was so wonderful, I don’t think a second is even needed.
