This is college YA done right. It’s really quite sad that in this year of 2020, we still are experiencing a shortage of crossover YA books. 18-21 should, by all intents and purposes, still be considered young adult, because you’re not fully adulting yet. Those Who Prey had a typical-YA thriller feel to it, while also being set during freshman year, which I appreciated so darn much.
The religious cult luring is scarily convincing. Sometimes, I have a difficult time putting myself in the character’s shoes and thinking that I couldn’t possibly fall into the traps that they did. However, it quite frankly terrified me how realistic a situation like this could be. It almost makes me feel fortunate that I’m doing online college!
