⭐⭐⭐½

A surprising little gem 💎 ! We Were Warned had a couple of great plot twists that kept me turning the pages ⏳ . The mystery 🔍 thriller vibes were solid, just spooky and suspenseful enough for a younger audience, and still entertaining as an adult reader.

It’s definitely a slow burn with no spice (like, at all), but that fits the tone. The romance is sweet and subtle, more background than focus.

I didn’t realize this was YA or possibly even middle grade when I picked it up, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. A perfect fast-paced afternoon read that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers the thrills.
