This book was so good and twisty. There were so many huge reveals, secrets, betrayals and holy-crap moments. I finished this pretty quickly because I wanted to know what happened to Madison and her brother. This book was certainly not boring or predictable. I sincerely hope Michele Campbell writes more books as good as this one because I definitely recommend this one.

Surprised how much I liked this book and sooooo glad none of it was predictable, Recommended!

I danced between 3 and 4 stars for this one but landed on 4 since it ended up being fun and fast paced after I got into it. Some of Madison's decisions and certain plot points made me roll my eyes, but overall I really enjoyed it.

Madison Rivera is a young law student at Harvard. Her legal aspirations began years ago after attending a talk by Judge Kathryn Conroy. So she's excited when her longtime role model and mentor encourages her to apply to her internship. There's only one problem, Madison's brother is in deep legal trouble and Judge Conroy is assigned to his case. As Madison gets closer to the judge she starts to suspect there's more to her than meets the eye and before she knows it she's in too deep to change her mind. Will this internship lead Madison to her dream career? Or will she end up losing everything?

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me a digital reviewer copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Thank You NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and Michele Campbell for an eArc of The Intern. This was the first book I read by this author and it won’t be my last. In this book, law student Madison Rivera hopes to be chosen as the new Intern for her law professor and Judge Kathryn Conroy. Once she begins her Internship, Madison’s and Kathryn’s secrets, past and present, are revealed despite their attempts to keep them hidden. Both Madison and Kathryn seek the truth and freedom and are willing to take big risks to find it. As they learn about each other’s stories, you keep wondering, who can you trust and what can you believe? So many twists and turns, a page turner till the end!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m excited to participate in the review tour for ‘The Intern’ by Michele Campbell! Thank you @booksparks for the advanced copy. This book will be available on October 3!

A young Harvard law student, Madison Rivera, falls under the spell of the charismatic Judge Kathryn Conroy… Who wouldn’t? She is a powerful, glamorous, and prestigious judge from an Ivy League school. But when Madison’s brother is arrested and claims innocence, she applies for an internship with the judge handling his case. Turns out Judge Conroy has a pocket full of secrets (not sunshine) and they involve bad cops, dirty money, and lots of scandal!!!

This is my third @MicheleCampbellbooks book and boy does she know how to write about crime! I’m sure her working as a federal prosecutor has been very beneficial to her writing novels. She makes wildly unbelievable stories sound legit!

BUT my least favorite character was Madison’s mom. GEE let’s make your daughter feel MORE guilty. Anyway… 🙄

Shout out to my Farmers Market flowers and 110+ degree weather! They’re a bit droopy now.

What’s the weather like where you are? Are you under this heat dome too?

🖤🖤🖤

Super fast paced thriller. I enjoyed the different pov throughout the book.
I found it to be different than other thrillers and it kept me reading/listening the whole time.
I also had this on audio and really enjoyed it as well.

This book was captivating from start to finish. I was rooting for the characters, despite not trusting them. It was not always as fast-paced as I prefer, but I still continued to turn the pages wanting more. There was interesting character development and I enjoyed diving deeper into their secrets.

3.5 stars

Madison, a Harvard law student gets an internship with one of her professors is also a judge. Both have their own secrets.

I didn’t find this one that suspenseful but I there was just something about it that made me want to keep reading. It was fast paced and everyone was untrustworthy. The story was told via Madison and the Judge, both characters were dynamic and interesting. It wasn’t a court room thriller but more of a cat and mouse game between the two women. I felt it was an entertaining read!

The Intern is a fast-paced thriller set in the cutthroat upper echelons of legal society, exploring dynamics of power and just how far two women are willing to go to protect their families, their secrets, and their careers.

The book is a page-turner full of narrative twists--not factual twists, as most characters' identities and motives are clear, but narrative twists, spinning the story out in unexpected directions based on characters' choices. This is in part because it keeps its central cast so small, alternating between Madison and Kathryn's perspectives, with only a handful of other characters explored in any level of detail. Both Madison and Kathryn are smart, ambitious women, with striking similarities in their upbringings that lead them to make similarly questionable decisions for the sake of protecting what they value--decisions that more-privileged individuals may not have felt compelled to make. The author mentioned in a note that one of her goals in writing this book was to look at the first-generation Latinx immigrant experience, and what happens when education opens a door for one child, but she can't take their family with her. While not a primary focus of the book, that theme lurked in the background of the story, adding some additional social heft to what could otherwise be just another legal thriller.

My biggest gripe with the book was how stilted and inorganic some of the dialogue felt. It pulled me out of the story, when the author articulated characters' internal monologues so naturally and yet made them speak in such an unusual way. This dialogue also meant that some dramatic scenes came across as cheesy, or negotiations quickly fizzled with people capitulating too easily. I also took issue with a very casual mention of suicidal ideation that was needlessly graphic and callous, but it was a single sentence, and I'm hoping maybe that line was softened or removed for the final edition.

If you want a page turner set in the heart of the judiciary (and written by an author who actually went to a top law school and clerked for a federal judge), even with its faults, this one is easy to pick up and hard to put down.

Trigger/content warnings: murder, suicidal ideation, organized crime, stalking, blackmail, mention of Harry Potter

Thank you to Booksparks and St. Martin's Press for providing me with an ARC of this book! All opinions are my own.

I did not know what I was getting into with this book. It seemed like it would be a simple and pretty basic thriller, but I think the legal aspect made it so much more complex! I found myself really getting involved with all the intricacies of the story.

I really liked the backstories for both the judge and the intern, although the judge’s background was much more developed and interesting.

The relationship between the judge and intern was my favorite, though. Although it was based on partial facts and partial lies, the two characters really seemed to work well together.

I’m not sure I bought the ending - and I don’t know how any of the characters would have, either, but it was a good way to end the story.

Madison should be excited she is an intern for Judge Catherine Conroy. Madison has a secret her secret will lead her to do things she isn’t supposed to do with the privileges she is given. Her brother Danny has a court case in front of Judge Conroy but accusations are made and her brother goes missing things only get murkier when it looks like the judge is getting friendly with Madison. Is the judge friend or foe this is a horrible review for an awesome book. I loved Madison‘s character and could totally identify with her and wanting to do the right thing but feeling pressure from her family and the love for her brother if you love great thrillers then you will definitely love the Book The Intern by Michelle Campbell it is certainly a twisty thriller that keeps on giving. I want to thank the publisher and net galley for my free Ark copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Madison Rivera is a student at Harvard Law. She has landed a much coveted internship with Judge Kathryn Conroy, a woman she has looked up to since she was a young girl. Her brother, Danny is under arrest on drug charges. He claims he is innocent and that Judge Conroy is corrupt. Madison is determined to help her brother and take the internship.

The internship proves to be a lot more complicated than Madison ever imagined and the deeper she gets into the Judges life the more dangerous things become for her.
The Intern is told from Madison and Kathryn's point of views. Their backgrounds are intriguing which engages you as a reader and keeps you turning the pages of this character driven story.

This book is full of suspense and you find yourself conflicted as the story unfolds. This is an excellent legal thriller with twists that will kee

great book and loved the mystery through out the book. I loved the characters and how they grew through all of their adventures. I enjoyed this book and this author and will check them out again add them to my reading pile.

First let me say I love Michele Campbell's books. The Intern is told through alternating points of view from Intern Madison Rivera and Justice Kathryn Croft. Both women have secrets and the story becomes an action packed thriller. I found this book hard to put down and will definitely recommend it to everyone. This is one of her best!

What would you do if getting what you wanted caused you to break the very rules you fight for and potentially cause harm to those you love? This book was an easy thriller to read that keeps the reader interested. A little predictable and dry at times, but a quick, easy read with enough interest to want to finish the book and see what happens. In my opinion, it is not the authors strongest work, but definitely one I would still recommend to others. #TheIntern #NetGalley

Quite a thrilling read that takes you on a journey through the justice system. Told from dual POVs one from law student Madison who is thrilled to get her internship with judge Catherine Conroy Madison's idol.
Madison does not disclose to the judge that her brother was recently arrested and the judge presiding over her brothers case is none other than judge Conroy herself.
How can that not peak my interest?! This was quite an enjoyable fast paced read

A fast paced thrill of a thriller!!!!!!!!!!! This book kept me up reading late into the night and I predict you fair readers will as well.

I really liked this book by Michele Campbell - my first ever read written by her. I never quite could figure out who the culprit was, or who was telling the truth vs lying.. which is exactly what keeps me hooked on a book. Definitely give this one a read.

I was highly anticipating reading this book but it fell short in my opinion. Too many players and criminal wrongdoings in the storyline to keep track of.

You’ll never ever guess what’s going to happen and I saw that as someone who prides themselves on figuring out twists ahead of time. This one got me good

Loved this book! I loved all the legal aspects. I liked trying to figure out who was the mastermind behind everything (I had no idea who it was). Great writing. Can't wait tonread more by this author.
