Review of Thoughtless by Jacqueline Gardner

Overview by B&M

When Bridget finds a dead cheerleader in the janitor’s closet, she becomes the killer’s next target. High school just got worse. It’s bad enough that she can hear the shocking truths that pass through her classmate’s heads. Now she has to worry about staying alive, and all clues point to the one person whose thoughts she can’t read - her boyfriend Terrence. Someone is taunting her, threatening to expose her secret. And when Bridget tries to single out her blackmailer, she’s nearly beaten to death by a mind controlled minion with fiery eyes.

But when Bridget finally comes face-to-face with the killer, suddenly a horde of brainwashed students programmed to destroy her life doesn’t seem so bad.

Review by the Bookworm

The book starts off fairly quickly, which took me by surprise, usually there is a chapter or two that is leading you up to the big moment, instead it's only a few pages.  That was worth just picking up the book to begin with, in my opinion.

We meet Bridget who isn't any other normal teen.  Instead, (weirdly like Edward Cullen) anyone who is close to her she can hear their thoughts which is a massive pain in the arse.  In getting away from overbearing thoughts, she helps out her friend only to walk in on a murder.  Now the killer is after her and another student who just happened to find Bridget with the body.

Both on the run, they become closer, with the exception that Bridget's new boyfriend, that incidently she is drawn to be cause she can't hear his thoughts, doesn't like her new found friend, nor the fact that she keeps ruining their dates.  Or does it intrigue him instead? 

The book wasn't necessarily surprising, but it was very enjoyable, but the ending made me wonder if we would be seeing a sequel???????  I'd like to see how Bridget's story ends.
