I usually can figure out who the killer is, often fairly early on in the story. I am happy to report that I thought someone else was going to be the killer until the end, so that alone makes this one a win in my eyes. The girls' teenage years were described brilliantly - the music, the makeup, the urge to so desperately feel older and cooler.

***Thanks to NetGalley for providing me a complimentary copy of LITTLE THREATS by Emily Schultz in exchange for my honest review.***

Upon Kennedy’s release from prison, after serving fourteen years for the killing of her best friend Haley, her identical twin Carter meets Kennedy with skepticism. Kennedy believes she’s innocent, but cannot remember the events of the murder. Carter doesn’t share their father’s confidence in her sister’s honesty about of that drug-filled night so long ago. A podcast Crime After Crime takes a fresh look at the case, which may uncover truths that prove Kennedy’s guilt. Complicating matters are Carter’s relationship with Haley’s younger brother.

I’ve been a fanatic of books with twin protagonists since I was a kid, particular identical sisters so the blurb for LITTLE THREATS immediately grabbed my attention. Psychological thrillers are another favorite of mine, so Emily Schultz’s book was a must read.

Neither Kennedy or Carter, named after the presidents by their liberal, attorney father, lived up to their potential. Each could have gone to an Ivy League university. Kennedy studied in prison, Carter dropped out of college and into rehab. Their mom died of cancer shortly after Kennedy began serving her time, their father never went back to being a high powered attorney. I couldn’t imagine being in either Kennedy’s or Carter’s shoes, unsure whether I killed my best friend or unsure whether my twin, who shared my DNA, was a murderer.

LITTLE THREATS had no shortage of viable suspects from the twenty-one year old boyfriend to either twin to other young men with whom Haley flirted. The culprit surprised me, which doesn’t often happen, yet made sense.

For a psychological thriller, LITTLE THREATS started off slowly and while I was interested, I also wanted to get through the backstory and into the meat of the story. I did enjoy the writing, characters and story.

LITTLE THREATS will keep you engaged and guessing.

Carter and Kennedy are twins. They were given presidential names. They are like all kids their age. They push the limits, at school, at home with friends, dating and drugs.
No matter how far the girls go their friend Haley goes further. She isn't afraid to do or try anything. She seems to have so much confidence. That is one of the things that pulled Cater and Kennedy towards her. All three girls became instant friends.
On the July fourth celebration, Kennedy and Haley were high as kites. They weren't sure what they had been given. Then just knew they had never been this high before. Kennedy's boyfriend was annoyed with them and dropped them off at a station next to some woods. Kennedy calls her dad to go and get them. He's been drinking but goes to the station. The girls aren't there.
Kennedy is stumbling through the woods. As she comes through the trees near a creek she finds her friend. She is too high to understand what she is seeing. She just leaves. That's how she finds herself in prison.
A great story with deep characters and a bombshell ending!

What a thriller this is!! Kennedy in prison for murder of her best friend. Alot of twists and turns! A fast paced thriller you can't put down!

I'll be fair and rate this 3 stars only because I DNF.

I got to 18% and it just didn't hold my attention. Not sure why. I don't want to rate it lower because it could have gotten really good. I just felt so bored reading this one :-/

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC of Little Threats by Emily Scultz.

Kennedy and Carter Wynn are twins with a streak of wild in them. After a crazy night filled with an assortment of illegal drugs, one of their best friends, Haley, turns up brutally murdered. Unable to even remember what happened that night, Kennedy is sent to jail for the crime.

Now all these years later she has been released, and Carter is strangely, in a relationship with Haley's brother. Is this her own form of penance. Kennedy is still determined to claim her innocence and get to the bottom of who did kill her friend. Was it her innocent sister, a sketchy love interest, or someone even more surprising?

I liked the unique interwoven drama in this busted family of two twin sisters and their dad who has his own demons. This is pretty dark, but easy to read and full of good character and plot development. The ending felt a little hasty and predictable, but the journey was still fun.

This book was fast paced, enthralling and it kept me on my toes wanting to know more and more. I definitely enjoyed it and would absolutely recommend to other readers of the genre.
Thank you to the writer, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Kindle ARC of Little Threats by Emily Schultz. I didn't know what to expect when I requested Little Threats but I'm really glad I did request it Not what I expected but in a great way! Carter and Kennedy are twin girls, teenagers, with some mutual friends and a streak of the wild side running through both of them. The book begins with Kennedy being released from prison for the murder of the girls' best friend, Haley. Because Haley and Kennedy were high on the night of the murder, Kennedy is not sure what really happened. As her life outside of prison begins after a 15-year sentence, it is spent attempted to mend fences with her daughter and her father, Gerry. Laine, Gerry's wife and the girls' mother died of cancer while Kennedy was in prison. What was most amazing and enjoyable about Little Threats is that it was very realistic. No outrageous gun scenes, no -over-the-top accusations in a court room, no "serial" detectives who are out to catch their suspect, no murders other than the one that was already committed by the time the book began. It was a steady, well-written thriller without being like so many suspense/thrillers on the market right now. Little threats was a surprisingly, taut good read.

This was a great fast-paced thriller. A perfect read. The characters and storyline kept me intrigued and wanting to know more.

4-5 stars, as I was absolutely gripped by this book when I started, and had a hard time putting it down most of the time! It did have some very slow parts; which was much easier to set the book aside and is why I can’t give a complete 5 star rating! I thought it was very captivating and mysterious, but also written in such an enthralling manner that it absolutely had me yearning to find out the whole truth and nothing but the truth! I also found that Emily Schultz is one of those who knows how to write in a beautiful manner, which I truly didn’t understand until I stumbled on a book a couple years ago, and this one definitely fits into that category! It can be chilling, thrilling, shocking, and twisty, while also beautiful and absolutely realistic! A must read, for those who love a good murder mystery with some amazing and realistic family drama underlying everything! Preorder today, this is not to be missed!
Will make sure I buzz it up on all the different platforms!

Twin sisters Kennedy and Carter are running wild during the 1990s, but Kennedy is soon suspected in the murder of her friend Haley. The fact she has no memory of the night doesn’t help. 15 years later, Kennedy is released from jail, her sister doesn’t seem to want anything to do with her. Her release brings a great deal of media attention; a crime show host comes poking into the past, asking questions that some people would rather never be answered
