Reviews for Unlocked
The use of an unreliable narrator really made this story pop ... I also liked how realistic this book was in ... the diverse characters ... accurate portrayals of Native Americans and people of Latin American descent. It's also a helpful book for dealing with the stigma that often comes with mental illness ... a complex story with an interesting twist at the end.
Karen McCoy, librarian Highly recommended for its taut storytelling, chilling horror elements, strong characters, and realistic representation of high school life.
Joshua David Bellin, author of SCAVENGER OF SOULS Compelling, edge-of-your-seat thriller that grabbed me from the start. ... The plot is filled with clever twists that build suspense and keep the pages turning as the characters hurtle towards an unexpected conclusion.
