Don't Turn Around by Michelle Gagnon, a review
When I read Don't Turn Around, I had no idea it was categorized as a
YA. I loved it from beginning to end.
I suppose I should have realized it was
a YA because of the lack of bad language and explicit sex scenes. What it did have
was a unique and believable plot and characters that gripped me from the very beginning.
The heroine, sixteen year-old Noa, wakes up on an operating
table in an empty warehouse with an IV in her arm with no idea what’s going on.
Her escape is heart-pounding—and it doesn’t take long for her to realize she is
being relentlessly pursued. Her computer skills help keep her alive. She teams
up with another computer genius, Peter, whose life is also being threatened.
Continually on the run, they begin to unravel a most horrendous
secret that involves medical experimentation and foster kids. The action is
totally non-stop and I couldn’t put it down.
Highly recommended for all ages--and anyone who loves a good mystery.

Crabtree mystery series.
