Review: FRY by Lorna Dounaeva

Ever since she nearly ran the girl over, things have not been the same for Isabel. She feels like she owes this girl, Alicia, something. So she gets her a job at the supermarket, gets her a place to stay, and invites her to hang out with her and her friends. But suddenly she’s become too chummy, too good. What’s up with that? There’s something peculiar about Alicia. She’s shy and quite, but she can do things. How did she start the bar-b-que without any matches?

There’s definitely something wrong here, and the worst part is that nobody believes Isabel. Suddenly, Isabel is a suspect in a fire. Could this new “friend” be a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Who is she? But, more importantly, what is she?

The concept was really interesting, although the pace might’ve been a little slow. The story is written in the 1st person, so the reader feels everything Isabel feels—anger, confusion, jealousy, suspicion, etc.

Freaky how Alicia was able to infiltrate herself into Isabel’s life. What is she, some kind of demon or something?

Quick and intriguing. Simple and captivating.


My rating: 4 stars
