Premeditated by Ryan Hunter (Book Review)

Twitter is like a big cocktail party--groups of people in conversations. You can join or just listen in. It's also a great way to meet people with similar interests. That's how I met Ryan Hunter and discovered her book.

I followed the link in her Twitter profile and read the first page of Premeditated. It's short (less than 300 words). It's creepy and disturbing. About a teenage girl who may be a psychopath and is going to escape from prison. It left me with many questions. In short, I wanted to read it.

Premeditated is part murder mystery, part The Fugitive, and part Grand Theft Auto. The action kept me reading and the clues kept me guessing. It was a wild ride.

I liked the Southern Louisiana setting. I haven't read many books set around New Orleans and I felt this book did a good job of transporting me there without detracting from the story.

As with every debut novel, this one has its weaknesses, too. There were a few times I was pulled out of the story by a confusing detail. And, seriously? How many times can a pair of teenagers escape trained police? Still, the story strengths outweigh its weaknesses.

If you are looking for an action-packed YA adventure with interesting twists, mysterious murders, and teenagers on the run then pick up Premeditated by Ryan Hunter. Just be sure to buckle your seat belt.
