 If there's one book that I constantly heard people buzzing about online in the past year, it definitely was Dangerous Girls. After reading both of Abigail Haas's thrillers, I definitely understand the hype behind her novels and it's impossible not to be drawn into the dark, alluring nature of them. Dangerous Boys is a chilling novel that is unbelievably addicting and had me reading extremely late into the night, too engrossed to even consider stopping. Fans of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will fall in love with this twisty novel that will mess with readers' mind from page one onward. 
 Just like Dangerous Girls, Haas's latest oscillates between the past and the present giving readers a few clues here and there to go on. Why did Chloe have to escape from a burning house? Abigail Haas creates a compelling mystery where danger is always a hair-length away and no one is innocent. I had some suspicions on what would ultimately happen, but I was truly blown away by this novel's conclusion and I couldn't have been more wrong. The plot and mystery are so elaborately planned that even the most seasoned of mystery readers won't see this ending coming. As brilliant as Dangerous Girls's ending was, I just might love the way Haas wrapped this one up even more. 
 I don't want to say much about this one in fear that I give anything away; the best way to plunge into a Haas novel is to plunge in blindly and immediately. The less readers know, the better and it just manages to magnify the tension and mystery of this novel. I never know what to expect from one of Haas's novels and it's the best feeling to slowly discover what the hell is going on alongside the characters. 
 The characters in Dangerous Boys aren't the typical meddling teenagers you find in so many YA novels. These characters are far more complexly developed and have a realistic, twisted aura about them. Few authors can recreate what teenagers actually act like, most YA books feature teenagers as foolish creatures, but Chloe and the Reznick brothers are the real deal. They're intelligent, calculating characters who aren't afraid of getting their hands a bit dirty if that means getting what they want. 
 Dangerous Boys is yet another brutal, twisted novel from Abigail Haas and I seriously hope that she's crafting another thriller. This novel doesn't shy from showing the darkness that lies within us and how we are all hiding something. Readers who loved Dangerous Girls will find themselves obsessed with this thriller and will be amazed and terrified by Chloe's adventures.
