Summary: I see through the eyes of a killer...
      Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth-her sister's friend Sophie didn't kill herself. She was murdered.
     Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn't actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she passes out, she slides into somebody else's mind and experiences the world through that person's eyes. She slid into her sister as she cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class. She learned the worst about a supposed "friend" when she slid into her during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie's slashed body.
      Vee know tries to uncover the secret but who will believe her and she can't even bring herself to tell her best friend Rollins and let alone the police. Soon she finds herself more distant from Rollins and spending more time with Zane.
     Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.


Thoughts: Slide is a great thriller and is an easy read to sink your teeth into. Jill Hathaway makes Slide an enjoyable, fun and mysterious read that people will fall in love with.
     Jill Hathaway's writing is really good and I find it similar to Kim Harrington's -(Who wrote Clarity and Perception)- writing. I love the premise of this story a lot because mystery and thriller books are very fun and always give a chill down my back. You feel the rush in your head when you feel someone is in trouble or you have figured something out the the protagonist hasn't figured out yet. Those are my favourite things about reading mystery books because they are so fun and thrilling. I love them so much!
     One of the most original things in this book is how Vee can slide into other people's mind. When she slides, the scene gets very intense and you feel a cold sweat coming on because you know something freaky is going to happen and your heart starts to beat twice as much as it should.
     Slide by Jill Hathaway is a fun and thrilling book that is a nice quick read but it will keep you hooked the whole time. I rate Slide by Jill Hathaway a 4/5 stars because it was a great fun and thrilling book that has people hooked till the end and is a great read if you want to pick up a quick but still really good book.

Rating: 4/5 stars
