Death Spiral
By- Janie Chodosh
Stars- ☆☆☆½
Rating- T-MT
Death Spiral is an intense novel about how 16 year old Faith Flores finds her mother dead from an apparent overdose of heroin. Unfortunately the police are all too eager to close the case, and when Faith begins to have doubts about the circumstances of her mothers death, she begins to investigate alone, a choice which will change her life forever. This book was intense and interesting, but I found it lacking in vocabulary. The secondary characters could have been more developed, but that said, Chodosh's use of simile and metaphor proved outstanding. It was an interesting, though not memorable, read. I rated this Teen to Mature Teen for mentions of illicit substances such as heroin, marijuana, and opium.
