Paramedics were able to revive her, but doctors say she was technically dead for thirteen minutes. In the dark early hours of a winter morning, Tasha’s unresponsive body is pulled from the frigid waters of the River Ribble. Now Tasha and her two new BFFs Jenny and Hayley are the new queen bees of the Brackston Community School hive, while Becca has been cast aside, relegated to the bottom rungs of the social ladder. Then there’s plain and self-deprecating Rebecca, who used to be Tasha’s childhood best friend before she was unceremoniously replaced as they got older, the dynamics of high school being as fickle and hard-edged as they are. Smart, rich, and beautiful, Natasha is the most popular girl in school. The story told through the eyes of two teenagers, who are as different as night and day. Being a fan of the author since her supernatural historical horror novel Mayhem, I knew full well her talent for writing thrills and dramatic suspense, but 13 Minutes was something else. No joke, I was left breathless and a little shaken after I finished this book, feeling like I had just stepped off the world’s scariest roller coaster. Publisher: Flatiron Books (October 3, 2017) This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.
