Another page-turner from Chelsea Ichaso!
I've read and enjoyed several books from this author. I appreciate how each of her Thrillers grab a hold of your attention from start to finish. They are packed full of twists and turns.
"We Were Warned" definitely lived up to my expectations, it was eerie and atmospheric and the storyline keep me guessing. I love when Thrillers have me wondering whether I should be trying to solve the Mystery through a rational mindset or exploring Supernatural options.
I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys reading YA Thrillers and as always I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
Thank you Chelsea Ichaso, Net Galley and Sourcebooks Fire for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Chelsea Ichaso really wrote this well and I was engaged from the first page and was hooked from that point. I enjoyed getting to know the legend and how everyone worked in this universe. It was everything that I wanted and enjoyed the overall feel of this.

We Were Warned is a spooky and atmospheric read! The plot is incredibly layered with murders, the ongoing fallout from an embezzlement scam, and teenage angst, all woven against the backdrop of small town lore.
Read if you love:
- Friends to enemies to lovers
- Creepy small town legends
- Abandoned resorts
- Murder mysteries
- Teenage detectives
We Were Warned is sure to keep you reading late into the night! Easily my favorite YA novel by Chelsea Ichaso to date.
Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a fan of Chelsea Ichaso's books so I was thrilled to read "We Were Warned." It has a great atmosphere and tension throughout and the ending was a surprise. Entertaining read for mystery/suspense fans although not me favorite Ichaso book. Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the ARC. Pub Date: March 4, 2025.
#WeWereWarned

Thank you Sourcebooks Fire for the copy of We Were Warned by Chelsea Ichaso. I liked how creepy the curse and the ruins were. Even though I didn’t believe the motivation for the murders or who the murderer turns out to be, I liked the leadup to the reveal. I liked Eden and Caleb but the other characters were one-dimensional. I have loved other books by Ichaso, but this one fell flat for me. 3 stars

Fairport Village was shut down 20 years ago after a murder. Eden, Caleb, and some other friends want to figure out what happened all those years ago. One kid dies, a hidden camera is found, one of their mothers used to date the murder victim. What is going on here? Who is hiding secrets? As they dig deeper into this past, they find things they never expected nor wanted to know. It was ok. I ended up skimming more than anything. I did not expect the ending at all. This wasn't as good as her previous books.
