The Girl in the Wall
donkeycheese avatar reviewed on + 1255 more book reviews


Sera is dreading the evening attending the birthday party of her former best friend, Ariel. Her father is demanding she go, as he and Ariels father are business partners. Ariel hasn't spoken to Sera in months, and in doing so, most of her friends and classmates give Sera the cold shoulder. She doesn't feel she did anything wrong, but Ariel believes she did and now hates her.

The girls and their friends all come from wealthy families, so famous rock star singer Hudson Winters has been hired to sing at Ariels birthday party. Sera adores his music, so shes looking forward to that. When the lights are turned down low for Hudson to sing, shots ring out. Not only is Ariels father shot, but so is a student. But Ariel has disappeared and only Sera knows where she could possibly be.

Hudson and she form a fast friendship and try and outwit the terrorists. But the classmates quickly inform them that if anyone can help them find Ariel, it would be Sera. Now, if she doesn't tell them in the next hour, theyll start killing more kids.

The Girl in the Wall is a quick-paced read with great characters and a plot that twists and turns. I didn't figure out who was behind the attack until almost the big reveal as it could have been several people. Ariel and Sera were well-developed characters, as well as Hudson, even though I would have liked to have seen more of the supporting cast have more of a back-story. All in all, a quick, entertaining read!
