Blog Tour | Review: HOLDING COURT by K.C. Held + Giveaway

March 03, 2016, 0 Comments | Comentarios

Another first to my list, Holding Court is a Young Adult Mystery book written by K.C. Held, it’s been my first of this kind in this year —I think; and OMG let me tell you —it’s such a good book! By the way, I like the cover, it’s just perfect for this story. Also, other thing that made me wanted to read it was the synopsis, it completely drew me.

Anyway, this time we plunge into a sixteen years old girl’s life, who has a hilarious-funny special “gift”; but it’s not just her —for example, her mother can know a lot of about something just by touching it. Jules’ best friend —Cami, is another great character—along with her grandmother; both of them had their moments, and made of Jules’ gift's more enjoyable and understandable. Even when at first, those random, nonsense, spontaneous and uncontrollable outbursts were —odds, to say the least— I found myself getting along them, because somehow they did are prophecies.

"Jules? Jules, are you okay? Please say something."

"You look really good in tights, "I say.

Grayson —the boy for whom Jules has had a crush on for years— he’s sexy, good abs, and look good in tights. Also, he’s the boyfriend of the only other girl who’s never treated her like a dumb, so yeah, I understand why there were moments where she felt a little bad due to had a crush on her boyfriend.

“Grayson laughs, and I don't want this moment to end. He looks so happy and being with him feels so... inconceivable.”

Okay, it’s a mystery book, so of course, there are mysteries and secrets —but, OMG! There’s this one big secret that was most incredible and surprising to know than the main one —however, I’m not telling it. That secret amazed me most than know who was the killer —and it was kind of disappointed, because I was like so that's the killer, eh? I didn't have idea. 

"An opening appears in the wall behind me and I give a yelp of surprise and panic when I realize I've triggered some sort of secret entranceway"

The dead body thing was what started all —and also it was the main plot—, the plot in this book was really good and was well organized —I mean, it can attract you and you won’t know the true until the end, you can suspect about, but the true true is well hidden from us.

In conclusion, this was a book I read de pe’ a pa’, one that made me laugh, smile, and of course I had a good moment reading, so I highly recommended it, not just if you like the Young Adult. Also. I want a second part, but I don't see where it can come from, so my imagination is all what I have now.
