Gramps always said that when the crickets were quiet, something bad was coming. And the crickets have been as silent as the dead. It started with the murdered deer in the playground, a purple foxglove in its mouth. But in the dying boondock town of Emerald Cove, life goes on.
I work at Gramps's diner, and the cakes-the entitled rich kids who vacation here-make our lives hell. My best friend, Alex Pace, is the one person who gets me, and I'm starting to have more-than-friend feelings for him-feelings I don't want to have. But he's changing. He's almost like a stranger now, keeping secrets and picking fights with the cakes.
Then one of the cakes disappears.
When she turns up murdered, a foxglove in her mouth, a rumor goes around that Alex was the last person seen with her-and everyone but me believes it. Well, everyone except my worst enemy, Jenika Shaw. When Alex goes missing, it's up to us to prove his innocence and uncover the true killer. But the truth will shatter everything I've ever known about myself-and Alex.

Fantastic thriller, that does not read like a YA book!
By Dawnie
You might think your know the people in your life. But do you?
That is really the first thought I had, after finishing this book. Which should tell you something!
But lets start at the beginning, shall we?
When i first started to read this book -for about the first 10% or so of it really- i was unsure about it.
The characters felt rather boring and the constant naming and trashing people got on my nerves a bit.
But i read on, and thank god i did!
It seems that Kelly needed those first few pages to get into her writing style, because the rest of the book is really good!
She manages to suck you into the story, telling details and giving information about what is happening and hints of who might be connected without actually giving the answers away.
Kelly really manages to write interesting characters and relations between them, put a spin on situations and go to extremes. But not over the top.
For most of the book it doesn't feel like you are reading about teenagers, but an adult thriller -mostly because those kids just go nosing around in business they should really not be nosing around in at their age! Still....
There are some parts -like i said the beginning and a few sentences here and there in the rest of the book- that shows that sometimes the author tried to bring in this whole teenage situation and name calling and overdone dramatics. But mostly, Kelly focused on the story itself and the mystery about the crimes.
You all should read it. It is fantastic! Just push through those first few pages/percent of the book and get sucked into a heart-racing, edge-of-my-seat reading experience!
Honestly this book to me is what i expected from Gone Girl, with the kind of praise that book received. And while i did not feel that way about Gone Girl at all, to me this book -Foxglove Killings- actually would deserve all the price about never knowing what actually happens, never knowing who you can trust, and a narrator that has no idea what the heck is going on, just as the reader does!
*I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review*

An unnerving mystery that keeps you guessing until the end!
By Kim Waters
Actual rating: 4.5
Tara Kelly has crafted an unnerving mystery that keeps you guessing until the end!
And I truly mean that because guess what? I didn't predict who the killer was! For that alone, I love The Foxglove Killings. Honestly, it doesn't happen often. Usually if it's not outright obvious there's some little clue that gives it away just that bit too early, but this time around I got to enjoy the revelation in the moment. And oh, how I did. It wasn't that it's this huge giant shock because it does make sense. For me, I paused, replayed all that had happened in this new light and thought "well, holy shit". Major kudos to Tara Kelly. I feel like I should've realised and that makes it all the better. What Kelly did such a fantastic job of was providing us multiple suspects. So many characters throughout this book could've legitimately been the killer, because at one time or another each had motive and Kelly successfully had me questioning all of them. This only builds the tension because like Nova I couldn't decide who to trust and so there's this constant note of danger, increasing as the story continues and characters disappear.
The suspense of The Foxglove Killings is palpable. This book is definitely a thriller. Right from the beginning Kelly sets the scene and she never loses the tone throughout the rest of the novel. It is an intense, nerve-wracking and chilling atmospheric read that I couldn't put down. I started reading The Foxglove Killings pretty late and at about 11.30pm when I was getting into bed, Kindle had helpfully informed me I only had an hour and a half left to read. I figured, why not? I had nowhere to be the next day. Yeah, finishing the book at 1.30am in a pitch black and silent house? Not my brightest idea. It's not that The Foxglove Killings crosses into horror. There's certainly some horrific moments but not in an overly gory, scare the bejeezus out of you way. It's subtle. It's the creepy moments that have you reading with bated breath, that evoke just enough fear and disgust that your skin crawls. It's the descriptions of that feeling of being watched, of hearing a noise outside the window, of unknowingly being vulnerable and in danger, of realising just how sadistic the killer is. I finished The Foxglove Killings, settled in to go to sleep, and then froze with fear because something rustled outside my window, which is actually a common noise. It wasn't until that moment that I even realised Kelly's writing had honestly freaked me out. Which then had me grinning, because I do love being scared. It just wasn't something I expected from this book!
The Foxglove Killings portrays some heartfelt drama too. Because while a psychopathic killer is on the loose, life still goes on. So throughout this book there's still the everyday issues of love, loss, bullying, family, friendship, sex, betrayal, prejudice, and the like. Kelly strikes a great balance, because the everydayness, the things seemingly unrelated to the murders and the killer, still increase the terrifying nature of the mystery. Because let's face it, one of these characters, dealing with their own issues, is also a murderer. Plus so many of the characters have an inherent brutality to them. This entire town has that feeling, what with the feud between the residents and the 'cakes'. It's terrible, the fighting and bullying. And Nova is caught in the middle of it. I really liked Nova. She has this depth to her, this thoughtfulness and way of seeing and feeling that is relatable. I liked her relationships with other characters, Alex especially. You're hoping these two figure out their feelings for each other and are able to make it work while I also worrying there's more to it that they can't get past. The emotion of being best friends but facing inevitable changes and the possibility of romance is charged. Jenika increases the tension, both of the story and between Nova and Alex. She's full of so much anger and bitterness. The way her and Nova clash but also connect is great. Seriously, the intensity between all of these characters kind of made my heart hurt. The clear winner for Favourite Character is Gramps though. I loved how he was always prepared to listen to Nova, to be honest and forthright. He gave you the sense that everything could be okay, which is interesting in a book that is at times so unsettling.
The Foxglove Killings is everything I want in a mystery. Unpredictable and frightening, it packs a whollop.

Smack Full of Mystery!
By Odessa
I’m all about a great YA mystery, and while the actual synopsis of the Foxglove Killings sounded promising, it still had that ring of Nancy Drew to it of a wanna be teen detective that almost threw me off of it. But I am so thrilled that I went ahead and read this novel as it was nothing like I imagined it would be!
Our story begins with our heroine, Nova, who lives in a small coastal town that’s pretty run down, and only manages to survive by rich people, who love to use their small town as a summer get away. And this is where all her trouble begins. With the resurgence of the “cakes” as they call them, it also means Nova has to deal with her ex-boyfriend; a guy whom she thought had loved her. And if dealing with the cruel tendencies of the cakes wasn’t enough Nova’s best friend is starting to act odd. The Alex she always knew is changing, and for her, it’s not in his best interest. Especially when she finds out he’s been hanging out with her arch nemesis. And if all of this wasn’t enough, add into the mix a string of mutilated animals that have been unearthed around her town, weird anonymous notes sent to her, people not acting their norm, and to top everything off someone is killing teens. If Nova wants to keep those she loves safe, she knows she needs to figure out the connection, and do it quickly before anyone she loves becomes the next victim.
I am the first person who would totally bash a novel that’s light and fluffy with this type of plot, and full of idiotic characters who would do something totally not within the realm of logic when it comes to a psychopath around town. Luckily for me, not only did the Foxglove Killings have a massively juicy plot, but not one character did anything that made them appear stupid. They were all written perfectly, and acted per the norm of a regular teen in these situations. Nova wasn’t the junior detective I was fearing, but instead had a logical head on her shoulders, and didn’t truly “sleuth” her way around the mystery. Instead she focused on the why and the how of each thing that went wrong, and tried using logic to tie everything together. As for the villain….I NEVER saw it coming. My mind just did not venture into that area, and I was fully surprised by the outcome! Which was such a full out change from figuring out the killer, motive, and everything else within three seconds flat of reading other books in the same line. I seriously did not figure it out until it actually happened, and I won’t give anything away! The Foxglove Killings was a fantastic read with a great plot, good set of characters, and great ending! I will say I wish things had changed a little bit in the actual epilogue, but it does end, and I felt everything was pretty much answered. I totally recommend this book if you love a good mystery!
