i am not really enjoying the writing style, the setting nor the characters. kind of gives me wattpad vibes. but gonna stay for the plot. 

i finished it for the plot. the writing style kinda grows on you, so i got used to it. but the plot? the mystery? the characters? their background stories? nope, not worth it.

Maybe 2.5? Idk how I feel about this. I feel like the plot could have been really engaging and interesting except the pacing was off and the characters were a little bit trite. I think if the story were longer it would have allowed the characters to be fleshed out properly and really worked the story out well.

What would it be like to slide into someones mind and see what they're seeing? To know things about them that no one else does? Well for Vee it's as easy as touching something that a person has an emotional connection too. In some ways I think it would be neat to see what others see. You could actually say I've walked the mile in that persons shoes. Then there's that feeling of "oh no" invading someones privacy is just wrong. What if you could help find a killer though?


Vee knows that Sophie didn't kill herself, that it was murder, but how do you tell people that when you can't really explain how you know.

So begins the mystery and unraveling of the classic who dun it scenerio. A teacher with a history to hide, a new kid who's too friendly, a best friend who's been distant, backstabbing friends, an ex. I absolutely adore mysteries, before reading YA that was my poison, when I read it was the likes of Mary Higgins Clark. What better way to enjoy a book then to have a mystery wrapped up with a little paranormal twist.


Slide was one of those mysteries where you're thinking it's got to be this person. I mean no one else has "that killer vibe", but then when you find out who it is...it just throws you for a loop. Jill Hathaway did an awesome job at keeping you on your toes, keeping you wanting to know, keeping you guessing. Even with the supposed suicide/ killer on the loose Ms. Hathaway managed to squeeze in a bit of romance between our main character and you guessed it the mysterious new kid.


Definitely can't wait to read the next book Imposter.

Vee Bell, able to slide into other people's minds, sees someone standing over the body of her sister's best friend, Sophie, holding a bloody knife but she is afraid that anyone she tells will think her crazy and so she must find a way to identify the killer herself, before he or she strikes again.

Slide is about Vee who has narcolepsy. However, when she collapses she can slide into other peoples head and one day she slides into a killers head and soon she is trying to uncover the truth and unravel the murder that everyone is calling a suicide.

What a nail biting read this little book was. I devoured it in one day and its so good. Jill Hathaway has took a fantastic murder mystery concept and added an extra paranormal twist that is simply genuis!!! Vee is one of those characters that you like immediately. She is a really nice girl who at first sees the slides as a cursed and not a gift. Jill really created a well developed character and as the story go we see her grow and reveal a horrible secret she has been keeping for a long time that truely broke my heart. Her best friend is Rollins and I thought he was adorable but we didn't really get enough of him, hopefully in book two we will see more of him. When the new boy Zane comes into the scene he clicked with Vee straight away and soon they fall for each other although it happened really quick and it did at times feel forced. 

Slide is a murder mystery and boy it keeps you guessing. There is quite a few people who I thought it could have been but I did kinda know but Jill managed to throw a few red herrings in that did make me doubt myself. lol. As well as the mystery part of it there are also alot of other issues that the characters are dealing with such as grief and friendships breaking down. It just made the book real and makes you really connect with Vee. 

I can't really say much about the story line without giving away spoilers because alot happens. All I can say it that its amazing!! A little slow to start but overall I adored it. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery novel that will full of suspence. It keeps you glued to the end and its also quite heartwarming and make me cried a few times. Bring on book 2!!

 Lastly I just HAVE to mention the cover for this book. At first when I seen images of it I wasn't sure but after I finally got the book I LOVED!! And now that I have read the book it fits perfectly!! Vee looks terrified on the cover and at times I was reading it. And in eye I never noticed until I got the book there is hands in it. Freaky!!! 

If you have read the book tell me what you thought? (no spoilers)
