I wasn’t a fan of this one. I didn’t enjoy the parts that were supposed to be creepy, I think I just expected more.

A fun pseudo-scary book for someone who wants something spooky but still wants to be able to sleep. When Eleanor wakes up by the side of a river, she’s partially alive and partially dead. She’s determined to figure out who killed her. A good YA Murder mystery.

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

This book was interesting but I didn't really connect with the supernatural element of it, even though it made sense with the narrative.

Also I couln't really keep my focus on the book because at times with was dragged out.

Unfortunately I am no longer interested in reviewing this title and feel that it is too late to submit a review. Thank you for the offer, I would love to workk together on future titles.

This was soo different to what I expected!
The author's note is correct and this is not an easy book to define is it a mystery, a YA-romance, paranormal or all of the above. When I first read the blurb I wondered is Eleanor was a ghost but then people could see her... so then I was like...zombie?

In the end, we aren't really given an explanation how/why she survived... why she couldn't sleep or eat for a week and didn't show human signs of fatigue beside a brief comment about her necklace being a protection charm that belonged to her grandma who believed in the occult and when Ellie visited a psychic who said her aura was damaged and freaked out when she touched her calling her empty.

But I was hooked and invested in her story as she scours her home to figure out who killed her.

Thank you so much for allowing me to read and review your titles.
I do appreciate it and continue to review books that I get the chance to read.
Thanks again!

DNF. I couldn't connect with this book at all and found it really hard to get into. I had high hopes for this, which is a shame.

This was an okay YA thriller. I liked the premise where we follow the main character, who has been murdered and is trying to investigate and solve her own death. Overall, it was fairly predictable.

I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I think that The Death and Life of Eleanor Parker can be an intriguing YA thriller with the paranormal side to it for readers. However, I don't do well with supernatural elements sometimes. I get lost and then I lose interest. Unfortunately, thats what happened here and I just went through the motions just to get through it. Just a case of the wrong reader for this book.

A gripping story that likens to Amelinda Berube's The Dark Beneath the Ice, this was a thriller that had my heart racing and had me wondering WTF was going on. A good Fall read.

There are a few books similar out there; Sunflowers in February and Release. Unfortunately this book suffers only because they came first and set the bar so high.

Thank you for providing a copy of this book for review however I was unable to open the file for this document unfortunately! Apologies.

OH HO HO.

Drowning? Murder? Amnesia? Supernatural? This book was everything I wanted. Literally had me hanging onto every word, I had to cover the other side of the page so my eyes didn't read ahead. Really good.

Typical Kerry WIlkinson, grabbed me from the start. So many plot twists and turns you dont know where you are until bang the ending is explaining everything!

This is such a gripping, unique read! I went into this expecting a thriller but it's exceptionally memorable. Eleanor Parker has seemingly returned from the dead - waking up in a river with no memory of how or why. Eleanor is convinced that she died and returned, however how could that have happened?

There is a bit of a supernatural element in this novel, which I happen to be a huge fan of. For me it made the story even more chilling. Absolutely loved this!

Death and Life of Eleanor Parker is a YA murder mystery with a paranormal twist. This novel is edged with paranormal elements that I had to suspend my disbelief over, but it’s not nearly as dark and gritty as I thought it would be. Overall, great book, and I will definitely be reading more from this author!

This was definitely a gripping edge on your seat page turner- it’s like watching a car crash unfold you cover your eyes not wanting to look but not being able to help but peak, my first Kerry Wilkinson book and it won’t be my last!

I really wanted to read this book but because of downloading difficulties, I wasn't able to. I have read other books that Kerry Wilkinson has written and she is a great writer.

was a gripping thriller that took you to every aspect of trying to figure out what was really going on and what was going to happen next! This was such an amazing book and I can’t wait to see what else is released from this author!
