Megan Abbott is an award-winning writer of contemporary crime fiction and these three books are bound to have you up all night.

Lizzie and Evie are inseparable - until Evie goes missing, and Lizzie suddenly realizes their friendship wasn't quite what she thought. The End of Everything is a suspenseful novel of friendship, loss and the more sinister side of adolescence.

There's something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls - Coach said that once. She said it like she knew, and understood. Dare Me tells the dark and tension-filled story of the new cheerleading coach and the deadly game she's playing.

When Lise Daniels collapses to the floor during maths class, unfortunately she's not the first. As hysteria swells in The Fever, the safe world they've been building for their children starts to come apart.

We ask all winners to share their thoughts about the book(s) on this discussion thread. Everyone who gives detailed feedback on the thriller of their choice by end of day, Friday 29 September will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2shop voucher.

Done, I'll end up buying them all anyway from the synopsis Grin

Done. Read The End of Everything a few years ago, really enjoyed it.

FlowerTink · 18/07/2017 21:13

They all sound great! I've started reading again after having no time with a baby and it is amazing to be back into books

StealthPolarBear · 19/07/2017 06:38

TheHiphopopotamus · 19/07/2017 22:07

Done. I put The Fever down, but I wouldn't mind reading any of them, tbh.

whatwoulddexterdo · 20/07/2017 07:32

I've applied for The End of Everything. I've read the other two and enjoyed them, highly recommend

SamineShaw · 20/07/2017 21:35

Done, would like all three! 😂

fleshmarketclose · 24/07/2017 11:57

I went for The Fever but it was a tough choice. Didn't enteryilthe last minute though so hope I wasn't too late.

I received my email saying that I've won a copy today. Really looking forward to reading it.

Mozarmstrong · 11/08/2017 17:11

Oh I've got a book! Love reading so can't wait to see my copy

Mozarmstrong · 18/08/2017 11:36

Received Dare Me thank you. What a dark compelling story this one is. Beware of teenage girls and their rivalry! I went to an all girls high school and gosh my mind went right back to those years. Amazing and loved it what a book!

horseyrider · 19/08/2017 09:59

I have just finished my copy, thanks mumsnet!.

Good beginning, lots of emphasis on competitiveness between girls. Coach is a very interesting character.

Bit slow in parts but good towards the end.

Amaksy · 20/08/2017 02:27

Thank you - I received my copy of DARE ME the other day and can't wait to get started!

drsholmes · 20/08/2017 07:08
