This was one wild, twisty ride and I loved every minute of it! Told through dual POV, The Intern is an exploration of the dark, corrupt side of the law. It's also a unique exploration of family, circumstance, and the lengths we'll go for those we love. Maddie and Kathy are both vivid, determined characters who jump off the page. I rooted for them equally - two women bound together by circumstances outside their control. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, shaking with suspense right to the very end. The Intern is my first book by Michele Campbell, but it certainly will not be my last!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I’m going to start off by saying there was a lot going on in the book which could be very intentional.

It’s about a woman named Madison who finds herself in an internship under Judge Kathryn Conrot who is a prestigious professor at Harvard law. Both women have secrets and it’s not till Madison’s brother goes missing that things start leaking out.

Clever premise, love multiple POVs, fast paced but it just felt long. Maybe it was me and coming off a book hangover but I just felt like it needed some editing.

Entertaining but not my favourite

A lot goes on in this book. A good number of secrets.

The writing style is impeccable. It made it so easy to read. And I felt myself having a hard time putting it down.

Not to mention that I constantly questioned myself over who could it couldn’t be trusted until the very end.

So well done! I look forward to lore from Campbell.

Madison is a full time law student at Harvard. Kathryn is a Federal Judge and teaches one class at Harvard. She has also invited Madison to apply for her open internship. The only thing really hindering Madison is that her younger brother has followed his Lawyer’s advice and pled guilty to holding drugs and faces ten years imprisonment. Madison decides not to tell the Judge about her brother and gets the internship. The story is told in both women’s words and will keep readers guessing throughout.

This was okay. It wasn’t my favorite from Michele Campbell. It didn’t seem up to her usual standards. Some of it felt a little far fetched and unrealistic, and the writing didn’t suck me in. I will continue to read everything from the author, though, believe that.

After a slow start, The Intern by Michele Campbell took off and never looked back! The suspense was incredible and I found that I couldn't put this down as Madison Rivera, a Harvard law student tried to save her brother and her self, but also protect the federal judge she was working for. An excellent novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This was not my favorite book by Campbell. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, really didn't care what happened to any of them. The story was convoluted and confusing and just did not make sense...Aside from the very ending, and only because I'm an animal lover, this book was just a chore.

4/5

Thank you St. Martin's Press for the gifted copy!

Harvard law student Madison Rivera has admired Judge Kathryn Conroy for as long as she can remember. When Madison lands her dream internship in the judge's chambers, she couldn't be more excited. However, when Madison's brother, Danny, is framed on drug charges and the judge is somehow connected, Madison suddenly feels like there's more at stake than her law career. With Danny missing and the judge no where to be seen, Madison must uncover the secretes in Kathryn's past, as well as how they line up with Madison's hopes for the future!

This was a pleasant surprise. I haven't heard a lot about this book yet (it's not out until October!) so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Both Madison and Kathryn were complex characters and fun to get to know. This was a fast-paced legal thriller with plenty of drama and deep-dark secrets. I enjoyed the writing style and pacing of the plot. Overall, this was a pretty solid thriller but likely nothing that I'll remember in too much detail.

Wow!! Michelle Campbell has done it again!! I always look forward to reading Michelle Campbell’s latest thriller and The Intern did not disappoint. The Intern is filled with wild twists, turns and edge of my seat moments. I found myself cheering Madison on and getting stressed out at the situations she got into. I would highly recommend The Intern to all thriller lovers!

Thank you to St. Martin'sPress, NetGalley and Michelle Campbell for the opportunity to read this ARC of The Intern.

The first book of Ms. Campbell’s I’ve read and I’m in love with her plot twists and her character development. It was nice to see bad guys become good guys and for compromised individuals to actually get the life they deserved. I plan on reading more by this author!!

Michele Campbell's newest novel, The Intern, is a fast-paced read that combines the best of legal thriller and mob/crime fiction. Its twists, turns and red herrings kept me invested in the story and turning the pages until the very end. Highly recommend.

Review of Uncorrected Digital Galley

When Judge Kathryn Conroy offers Madison Rivera an internship in her office, the Harvard law student is beyond thrilled. Conroy is the judge who earned her admiration when Madison was in high school and heard her speak at career day. But Conroy is the presiding judge for a drug case involving Madison’s brother, Danny.

After accusing the judge of corruption, Danny goes missing. Madison searches for answers, determined to help her brother. But it is not clear if Kathryn Conroy is a victim, a criminal, or Madison’s trusted mentor and both women hold secrets.

Can Madison trust anyone? And what is the truth in Danny’s case?

=========

Told from dual viewpoints both in the past and in the present, this tension-filled tale holds many secrets. Some belong to Madison, others to Kathryn, but readers will find themselves wondering who deserves their trust. The unfolding narrative addresses issues involving family, friendship, justice, ethical behavior, and trust.

Multi-faceted characters are believable, although some of their decisions seem rather imprudent and poorly thought out. However, the revealing of each backstory helps readers understand each character and the choices they’ve made. Readers are sure to sympathy builds for each of the women as the story evolves.

The suspense builds as the intriguing plot twists and turns, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Unpredictable and compelling, readers are kept guessing as the story races to its satisfying denouement.

Highly recommended.

Another great thriller from Michele Campbell! Madison is a Harvard law student, who gets accepted to an internship with a judge she greatly admires. But Madison has a secret that could cause her to lose everything she worked and dreamed of. She soon learns that she’s not the only one keeping secrets and that she is in danger. I loved this book and could not put it down. Thanks to Netgalley for this arc.

Wow wow and wow! I absolutely loved this book! I could not put it down, brought my kindle with me everywhere to finish it!

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Madison finds herself in a sticky situation when she accepts an internship for a judge she admires at the same time that the judge is about to handle her brother’s case. She misses opportunities to tell the judge about the conflict and then things get very strange when she stays at the judge’s house to cat sit and a strange man is beating on the door looking for the judge.

3.5 stars.

I like this author but this wasn’t my favorite of her books. It took me a while to get through and I was’t eagerly awaiting the next time I could pick it up. The story starts from Madison’s perspective and after several chapters, switches to the judge then back to Madison’s and back to the judge. I liked the judge’s story more and didn’t find Madison’s to be all that interesting. I think this author’s other books were so good I was expecting a bit more but I still look forward to her next book.

Madison Rivera is a Harvard law student who feels like she has won the lottery when she is chosen to be an intern for the beautiful and prestigious Judge Kathryn Conroy. Madison has followed the judge’s career and is a huge fan but now she realizes there is a conflict of interest. Madison’s brother has been arrested on a drug charge and Judge Conroy is on the case. Madison soon finds out that she is not the only one with secrets as she begins her internship. There is definitely more to Kathryn’s story and Madison finds herself mixed up in the judge’s dangerous world. As secrets begin to surface, will the two become enemies or partners in a race against time. This was a fast paced read with many twists and a satisfying ending!

The Intern is a fast-paced thriller that delves into the lives of Madison, a Harvard law student and intern, and her professor and mentor, Judge Kathryn Conroy.

There are many twists and turns. I didn't know what to believe and who was being honest. It kept me guessing until the end.....a sign of a good book. Michele Campbell is a great author and The Intern did not disappoint.

Thank you St. Martin's Press and Net Galley for an ARC of this book. This is my honest review.
