Narrative Concering Books Wish You Were Dead (Thrillogy #1)
Str-S-d: I’ll begin with Lucy. She is definitely first on the list. You can’t believe how it feels to be in the cafeteria and turn around and there she is staring at me like I’m some disgusting bug or vermin. Does she really think I WANT to be this way? I hate you, Lucy. I really hate you. You are my #1 pick. I wish you were dead. The day after anonymous blogger Str-S-d wishes the popular girl would die, Lucy vanishes. The students of Soundview High are scared and worried. Especially frightened and wracked with guilt is Madison Archer, Lucy’s friend and the last person to see her the night she disappeared. As days pass with no sign of the missing girl, even the attention of Tyler, an attractive new student, is not enough to distract Madison from her growing sense of foreboding. When two more popular students disappear after their names are mentioned on Str-S-d’s blog, the residents of Soundview panic. Meanwhile, Madison receives anonymous notes warning that she could be next. Desperate to solve the mystery before anyone else disappears, Madison turns to Tyler, but can she trust him when it becomes clear that he knows more than he’s sharing? The clock is ticking. Madison must uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearances . . . before her name appears in Str-S-d’s blog.

the reason why i choose this book is because i read blood on my hands and it was an awsome book. and i though this one would be good too, which i though it was better than the first one,the genre of this book i think is fiction, but idk? dont really pay attention to that, the setting took place during the end of winter, and at home and a little bit of school.the main charcater is lucy, she is a girl that is a good student in school, likes to party. and comes from a rich family.she also has 2Rating: 4/5The Thrillogy by Todd Strasser is a trilogy of standalones, which means you can read whichever story seems to pique your interest, even if it's not the first one. But I highly recommend you read all three of them because these books are amazeballs.Wish You Were Dead is a very intriguing story about teenagers going missing after a blogger, Str-S-d, wishes they were dead. One after the other the bullies of Soundview High are nowhere to be found and Madison finds herself filled with
Wow, so where do I begin? As a writer myself, I know what it feels like to get a two star review, so I don't give them out very often, but that's the best rating I could manage for this book. Based on the summary, I was excited to read this book. It had such a good concept, and I loved the amount of suspense that the author was able to keep throughout the story.However, it bothered me that the story randomly jumped POVs between first person and third.

" Dont try to grovel or apologize. We know thats what you always do. Dont you know that once the words are out, the damage is done? You cant apologize away the hurt you cause.

You'll just keep suspecting everyone mentioned but you will
stupid. bunch of whiny high school kids, I almost wished they would all end up dead. oh that wasn't very nice. tiresome, unsupervised teens in peril from a mysterious person who is making them disappear one by one. Has some dialogue from the culprit that makes it a little edgy, but in the end, I didn't really care whether they were found or not. I completely lost interest when the main character said for the third time, "THERE ARE LIVES AT STAKE!!"
The way the book was narrated and presented to the readers is awesome. With a mixture of blogs, comments to the blog, notes, and the narration of Madison, its certainly a new twist to me. Though the writer is male, he had presented the point of view of a female very accurately, in fact, I had to look at the back cover of the book to ensure that the author is indeed male and not a female since I throughly believed the female narration and what goes on in the mind of the girl, esp when they're
