"Locked" (ANOTHER FAVORITE!!!!!!!!) (a snarky Lexi review)
Hello, Awesome Readers!!!
So today's review is my favorite novel that I've read recently!!! I seriously was expecting this book to be boring, or just to not have any spark for me. I was so, so wrong. I've been waiting all freaking week to review it today!!!
The book? Locked by Eva Morgan!!!
(Oh yes, Sherlockians, you will be Sherlocked yet again.)
Summary: "When eighteen-year-old Irene Adler meets her new neighbor, the gorgeous, brilliant, and arrogant Sherlock Holmes, she never expects him to be the one to make her feel like life is worth living again. Ever since her sister's death, she's been addicted to risk-taking as a way to deal with her depression, and Sherlock quickly becomes the biggest risk she's ever taken.
Locked is the story of a broken girl and the genius who gives her life back to her. It's the story of a witty asshole who's never known love, and the girl who shows him what love means. It's the story of an unexpected connection, two people who save each other, and the importance of seeing the goodness underneath. " (Goodreads, you are superb!)
I was so surprised and happy with this book! It fit in perfectly with other YA, but stands out nonetheless. I love the characters, and any time I read something funny and literally laughed out loud, I'd highlight it in my Nook. I did that A LOT. Plus, the mystery is awesome! You can relate to everybody and everything because it's YA! The author is truly talented, and evoked a sense of the original Sherlock Holmes! Trust me, this novel is AWESOME!!!!!
In Conclusion: READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REEEEAAAADDD THISSSSSS!
Rating: 7/5!!!!!!!! But since it's so good, I'm just going to put this awesome Disney "The Great Mouse Detective" pic here:
Many more book reviews on the way!!!
XOXO,
Lexi
