Initial Impressions 8/13/15: I thought this was a really great YA thriller! I've been a big fan of adult mystery/thrillers for a long time now and always advocate the YAs because I feel like I don't see them as often but this was really interesting. 
 I really enjoyed the overall plot -- it was relatively believable, kept me on the edge of my seat, and I actually love when thrillers are shorter (this book was just over 200 pages) because I feel compelled to finish within one or two sittings so there's never a drop in the action. 
 I really liked the twists, the changes, and the characters as well as hints and allusions to the thriller movies. 
 I think there could have been a BIT more to it to totally hook me but I really enjoyed it from start to finish! 
 Full review as originally posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 9/22/15: There's good news and bad news to this review: the bad news is that it was supposed to be a video review but when I went to go edit it, I found out that the video was very choppy and frozen in several spots while the audio played on. The good news is that it wasn't a flattering angle of me anyway but more importantly, the audio was salvageable. I supposed my first video review isn't a horrible flop and we just have to roll with the punches! You'll just have to listen and be without the image of my smiling face. Lesson learned and hopefully you'll have a new video from me sometime in the future! [Listen to the audio review on the blog post for THE DETOUR!]
