This was a super quick read that I started while waiting to find out what my next challenge would be. I wasn't expecting much and was, therefore, pleasantly surprised.

Unlike all the problems I had with The Progeny, where the premise was faulty at best, Cady's story was totally believable. While she, too, had lost her memory, it was due to trauma, and this in no way prevented her from making reasonable, logic-based decisions.

This book stood out enough to be noticed from the second you began it. It was quick and loaded with action. There indeed was definitely not a dull second in this book. There several things that I saw coming (simply minor subtleties); however, the story had turns that amazed me. It was somewhat of a secret to sorting out the thought process behind why these individuals were after her and needed to murder her.

*3.5*

The first hundred pages are an adrenaline-fueled ride. After that there are some bumps and near-misses, and the plot speeds past the warning lights.
April Henry spins a fun—but messy— ride that leads ultimately nowhere, but was worth the thrill.
I would’ve liked if the book had been a little longer and not as rushed, especially toward the end, to give us time to fully grasp the weight of the mystery and let the suspense simmer.
Not her best, but definitely not the worst.

'[...]my mind shut down. Went blank. Went someplace where I wouldn't have to remember.'

What would you do if you woke up to find you had been kidnapped? What would you do if you somehow manage to escape but realize you have no idea where you were? What would you do if you didn't have any idea who you were? The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die is a riveting thriller of a girl who has to piece together the past so she can live to see the future.

I've read April Henry's 'The Night She Disappeared' and it's an incredibly short yet fast-paced mystery which I really enjoyed. To me, 'The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die' is also short and fast-paced yet more complex and required more pages in order to properly flush out the mystery. The pieces of the puzzle don't start coming together until near the very end and once the pieces started forming they left me with an unnaturally rushed feeling that I felt could have been avoided with more explanation/pages.

There were a few issues I had in particular:
The 'bad guys' were inherently bad and lacked any sort of complexity thus making them quite a bore. Plus, it always makes me giggle when the bad guys completely reveal all their plans right before they intent on killing you.
Also, there was a strange and unnecessary reference to a gay character.
'His voice swoops up and down. He sounds more gay than before. I wonder if he's doing it deliberately - to make them think there would be no reason for him to give a girl shelter.'
Which... makes zero sense. Because he's a gay man he couldn't possibly have any 'girl' friends? Or even possible care about their well-being? That passage just struck me as completely irrelevant.
Also, there wasn't a love-interest exactly but there was a male character that became involved in her ~~drama~~ trouble. After meeting him while trying to hide from the 'bad guys' he realizes she's in dire need of help and assists in getting her past them. In my opinion, that should have been the end of their relationship but instead this guy basically risks the possible destruction of any future he may have for this girl he doesn't know. It just wasn't plausible. There was a slight explanation given for his 'need' to help her and it kind of make sense but still didn't completely work for me in way of explanation.

Despite my issues, I did still mostly enjoy The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die. It is fast-paced, exciting, and definitely suspenseful.

Since this is going to be one of those reviews that sort of reads like I didn't like the book, let me say this up front: I did like The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die. However, I'm giving it two stars here on GR, because overall I feel like it was an okay book, not an especially good one. I'm not generally a big fan of thrillers, but I previously quite enjoyed Henry's Girl, Stolen, so I hoped that I would like this one just as much. Still, TGWWSTD was a fun, quick read overall.

In general, I would say that April Henry accomplishes what she set out to do in this book. TGWWSTD entertains. The plot moves along at a fast pace, and it's certainly never boring. The reader can't help but be curious and the pages flip by quickly. TGWWWSTD serves as the literary equivalent of a fairly mindless action movie, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The techniques Henry uses to accomplish this are quite standard thriller fare, which is why my enjoyment of this one boils down purely to the sheer entertainment factor. The main character has amnesia for much of the book, waking up in a cabin as two men prepare to kill her. Sure, amnesia happens, but it's over-employed in such action plots to up the danger level, since the MC doesn't have any idea where to go or who to trust.

Henry's writing consists of simple sentences and fragments. This style does create a sense of rushing headlong through the story. Thriller authors employ this method to create a feeling of urgency. While I do think it does work, I just generally prefer complex, more ornate writing. The combination of the writing, short chapters, and fast pace will likely make this an excellent choice for reluctant readers.

Most every chapter ends on a mini-cliffhanger, immediately resolved on the next page. Yet again, this technique does keep the reader moving through the novel at a fast clip. It's designed to make TGWWSTD a one sitting read, because you have to keep going to answer the lingering question from the last chapter. Effective, but trite.

While not thoroughly fleshed out, Henry's characters are sufficiently realistic for her purposes. Cady and Ty are likable enough that the reader does want them to win out over the bad guys. The skills that Cady possesses seem a bit convenient, though some are explained, like her ability to fight. What really feels unlikely is that Cady met Ty, a boy just this side of destitution, who is willing to miss class, endangering his dream of being an EMT, and work, risking putting him on the streets, to help save her from men with guns. Sure, he's nice, but, really, who's going to do that? I can see helping her when they first meet, but he's with her to the end, and I just don't see that. He also just happens to have the right amount of cash saved up so they can do what they need to do.

The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die runs just 213 pages. With short chapters and a fast pace, it's an excellent choice when you want something you can read quickly for sheer entertainment value. Ultimately, though, it's not particularly memorable and I won't be revisiting it. ...more

The writing was great and I could hardly quit reading because of the intensity.

There are a few suggestions that one character is gay, but nothing confirmed. H*** is used as a swear word a handful of times. Violence wise- a girl wakes up to find her nails have been pried off of her fingers (at least two of them). ...more

We catch up with Cady right in the thick of things. She wakes up beaten and bruised on the floor of a cabin and has absolutely no recollection of who she was and how she got there. She also has no idea who the two men are standing above her saying to kill her because she knows nothing. Straight away my interest was piqued, I wanted to know who these men were and why they had tortured Cady for information. What worked very well for this one was how linear the plot was. There wasn’t much romance or friendship drama to bog it down though she does make one connection along the way. When she meets Ty I liked him immediately. You could tell that he had such a kind nature but it quickly comes to light that he hasn’t had the easiest life. While that was all fine and good I did find that the extent to which he was willing to put his life on the line was a little unbelievable. I get that he likes to help out his fellow man and pay it forward but he got himself into some serious legal issues for a girl that he just randomly met at McDonalds.

With very short chapters our attention never has the chance to stray with this one. Something is constantly happening and the tension is top notch. We don’t get a lot of layers to our bad guys as everything is revealed which is something that I would have liked a bit more of. I always appreciate when I get to see multiple sides of the bad guy and maybe even come to understand their motive. Here we get very little information about them and a head honcho who is incredibly typical. I think for what this story was, it worked. It kept the novel short and if you sit back and take it at face value too many details may have began to bog the story down a bit.

There isn’t too much to say about this one because of how short and linear the plot is but I can say this: The Girl Who Was Supposed To Die turned out to be a great, fun way to spend a few hours on a rainy Sunday morning. If you’re looking for a quick mystery to get you out of a paranormal rut then this one could be for you.

Also the mystery of who was bad or good was a bit too easy to figure out. That would normally be the one thing that would keep this book from being a 4 star rating for me.

In April Henry’s stand alone novel, ‘The girl who was supposed to die’, the readers are introduced to the narrator Cadence Scott (Cady). At the beginning of the novel Cady is woken up by loud voices and finds herself in an abandoned, ransacked cabin. The voices she hears are of two men arguing about whether or not they should kill her. However, Cady does not recall how she found herself in this predicament. She does not have any memories of her past including her own name. Having woken up with In April Henry’s stand alone novel, ‘The girl who was supposed to die’, the readers are introduced to the narrator Cadence Scott (Cady). At the beginning of the novel Cady is woken up by loud voices and finds herself in an abandoned, ransacked cabin. The voices she hears are of two men arguing about whether or not they should kill her. However, Cady does not recall how she found herself in this predicament. She does not have any memories of her past including her own name. Having woken up with no recollection of the past and by men discussing her death, it is Cady’s first instinct to run.
The novel is set within the time period of two days, with Cadence running from the men she claims are still after her. Cady meets friends along the way, who help her discover her identity. It’s a cat and mice chase, as the people out hunting will stop at nothing; only, the police claim she is a runaway mentally ill patient. Cady does not know what to believe, she feels that she can’t trust anyone, including herself. She can’t decipher a truth from a lie, and questions herself if she is an ill patient, and if that could be the cause of her sudden memory loss. As the story unfolds, Cady unravels her past and every question is answered.

The girl who was supposed to die, is an original novel that is captivating through to the last page. It is a fast-paced, gripping novel that I read in one sitting. It surprised me to find that I immensely enjoyed reading this, as I do not usually appreciate genres of the like. Due to my low-expectations, my scoring was raised higher, as I did not believe a book could portray a traumatising event so well. Though like all books, as a reader, I found some scenes unnecessary. Some parts were unrealistic and there seemed to be a very unlikely chance of this happening. Though, I believe the plot and characters were planned well, and this caused me to have a similarity relationship with the protagonist. I felt the same way as Cady, and were banging my fists in protest in appropriate scenes, yelling at the book. By reading this novel, it has made me more conscious of what happens in today's society. In my opinion this book deserves a five out of five, and should be a must-read for everyone.

I regret that Goodreads does not allow me to give zero stars. April Henry is the epitome of a worthless writer. Her concepts are cliche, and her ending was squashed into 10 pages. The random explosion at the end serves the one purpose of ending the story, which I appreciated, because the book was so bad. The writing was terrible, and the characters are shallow and undeveloped.
