Read this review on my book blog Lauren Reads YA for pictures of the physical book! 
 The Darkest Corners was one of the better YA thrillers I've read. This YA murder mystery will keep you guessing until the end. 
 The reason I gave this only 3 stars is because the beginning was a bit slow. It didn't get truly interesting until about halfway through. And then it was just one plot twist after another, almost like the author was trying to fit in as many elements to the story as possible. There's mystery (figuring out who killed the girls), family drama, friendship (although underdeveloped), and surprisingly, no romance. 
 The ending was thrilling and unexpected, although maybe a bit much. It's slightly open-ended in the way that it leaves you with some questions. When I finished the book sometime after midnight, I actually had to take a sleeping pill so I would actually sleep rather than going over the events of the book in my head. Not even kidding. 
 Thanks to the publisher, Delacorte Press, for providing me with a physical copy in return for an honest review. In no way does this affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
