Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a complimentary copy of Bury the Lead by Mischa Thrace in exchange for my honest review.

**4/5 stars

Bury the Lead is a prime example of don't judge a book by its cover. Had I not been given this book to review I don't think this cover would have enticed me to pick it up on my own. I am so happy that wasn't the case. 

Sure to be a huge hit among fans of A Good Girls Guide to Murder and The Cheerleaders, Bury the Lead far exceeded my expectations and I am certainly going to recommend it in the future. Kennedy and Ravi are high school students who aspire to be journalists. More than anything Kennedy wants to be a journalist who is heard and who makes a difference, and so when a classmate is found dead Kennedy knows there's more to the story. She's determined to find the truth, and she'll keep investigating until the real story is told.

While I saw that there was going to be romance in this book, I definitely wasn't expecting the asexual representation that I thought was really well written! YA thriller/mystery is a hit or miss genre, but Bury the Lead was well written quick read that had a compelling mystery, and a very satisfying conclusion. I do wish a couple of the characters and their background had been more fleshed out, but that didn't take away from the overall satisfaction. I also think the cover could be much more enticing. I look forward to what Mischa Thrace will write in the future.
