It started off so strong but then the author just kept adding more characters and random things about the characters it was just an overwhelming amount of information. In the beginning there were so many things I wanted to know and find out but then I just got so confused and all I wanted to do was finish.

A great novel that will have you hooked until the very end. I would definitely recommend this novel.

Michele Campbell has outdone herself with The Intern. The characters are honed to perfection. Perfectly paced, the alternating narratives add depth to the plot. Twists and turns have the reader second guessing both pawns and players. The setting reflects Campbell's comfort in all things Harvard Law without belaboring detail. A great read from the first page to the satisfying end, Campbell weaves a compelling story and ties off all of the loose ends. I simply loved The Intern.

Ohh a legal thriller!! The plot of this is just alright but the concept is great. I’d like to see more legal thrillers!!

I usually do not love thriller books however I really enjoyed this book. It was a complicated case where family, work and ethics mold into one. I found that the ending was not expected and felt I could stay engaged for the entire book.

Loved this thriller, the dual POVs, and the two female MCs. I did feel that there wasn't a major twist and I was left a bit wanting.

4/5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers, and Michele Campbell for allowing me to read and review this book.

We follow our main character, a young Harvard law student, who gets an internship with a judge she has looked up to since she was a child. However, both women have secrets that could destroy them.

Madison has a younger brother who has been arrested, and Judge Conroy is the judge on his case. She lies to the judge about being an only child, hoping to keep him a secret. This plan goes bad when her brother goes missing after accusing the judge, his lawyer, and the cop that arrested him of corruption. Madison dives deep into the judge's personal life and background trying to find and save her brother. However, the judge has some dangerous secrets of her own. Neither woman knows if they can trust the other one, or if one of them will betray the other and cause one of them to get killed.

We go back and forth between the two women's perspectives, the past and the present. We learn more about the judge's background while also trying to figure out who is trying to kill her know. A lot is going on in this book, there are a lot of dots to connect, but everything does connect in some way or another. This book is easy to follow, but it will have you wondering what will happen next all the way until the very last page.

THRILLING. What a ride. I rooted for the main character (who was so well written). This was one of her best yet! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Thank you to Netgalley & the publisher for an early copy (Yes, I know this has been released in the world for a while now) in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this one! Easily one book that I will probably think about regularly.

The plot of this story was a fun one that had a lot of twists and turns. The entire time it had me wondering what was real, who was telling the truth, and who was bad vs. good. I loved the legal aspect to it since the main female character is a Judge. I thought that was an interesting concept and not one that I have seen a lot of before!

The story is split into 5 different parts and each part is other the POV of Madison or of Judge Kathryn Conroy. Each character had a unique back story, especially Kathryn. As Madison was piecing things together, so was I, because I didn’t see most of the twists coming. A few times I audibly gasped or said “what?!” In my car and had to rewind to make sure that what I listened to was correct. The narrator did an excellent job changing her voice for different characters and just her narration overall.

I read a book by this author many years ago and enjoyed it. This is definitely an author I’d like to read more from!

I love a good legal thriller and The Intern was just what I wanted! It was engaging, thrilling and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Fans of John Grisham will love The Intern.

Edge of your seat, nail biter! I was hooked on every page! You won't be able to put this down! Highly recommend!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

This was a solid thriller! I enjoyed the drama and the pace of this story.

This is a thriller I didn't see coming. I had never read a Michele Campbell book before, so didn't know what to expect. The judge is Madison's idol and she is excited to be working with her. After Madison's brother is arrested, events take a turn. This is a thriller you won't want to put down until you have it all figured out.

This is a gripping legal thriller that blends suspense, drama, and moral dilemmas. Madison is an ambitious law student who snags an internship with Judge Kathryn Conroy, but this dream opportunity unravels into a dangerous web of secrets when Madison uncovers dark truths about the judge and her own family's legal entanglements.

Madison is a relatable protagonist facing intense pressures and ethical dilemmas, while Judge Conroy is a complex figure with a façade of stern professionalism hiding dark secrets. The story is well-paced, and its exploration of ethical quandaries adds depth, prompting readers to ponder the grey areas of justice and loyalty. Campbell's background as a former federal prosecutor lends authenticity and realism to the legal setting.

The Intern is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of legal dramas and thrillers.

This one was just okay for me. The storyline was intriguing but I did not connect with any of the characters. I found myself skimming the pages a lot. All in all an okay read.

I enjoyed reading this book! It had a lot of twists and turns and it all wrapped up well in the end. The writing style was enjoyable! I would recommend!’n
