Great thriller!
I really enjoyed the author's debut book and was super looking forward to another dark and mysterious book!
This follows the Stelker sisters who have been running cross country for as long as they can remember. They're both super competitive and will stop at nothing to win, even when it means getting in trouble. Stella hurt someone during a race the year before and had to go to a camp for summer. She is back and better than ever and her and Ellie are ready to win every race. That is until a new girl comes to town and beats their time. Mila, the new girl, suddenly goes missing while on her routine jog and ends up dead. Are the Stelker sisters murderers?
I did think that They'll Never Catch Us is super fast paced and can be read in a day or two. I liked the plot and felt myself wanting to continue to read and if I had to stop I was thinking about the book. I did have some slight annoyances, such as the differences between Stella and Ellie. I thought they were supposed to be two very different sisters besides their love for running. When the chapters would switch between perspectives it felt like they were the same at some points. Also, I felt like the murder didn't happen for SO long that this was more a drama book until over 50% of the way in. I really really didn't think the end was a big twist and I just felt kind of meh.
While this book did have some problems, I did still enjoy it. I thought it was an easy, fast paced read full of little twists. I just think it needed more throughout the entire book. More about the murders from years ago, more about the sisters, and even more about certain topics. I am excited to see what the author comes out with next though!
