Review: The Wilde Trials

The Wilde Trials by Mackenzie Reed
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Wilde Trials are about to commence and Chloe wants to participate.  She doesn’t want to win for the bragging rights … she wants to win for the $600,000!  Everyone knows that the competition is hard, but this year seems to be elevated to a new level.  When Chloe is blackmailed during the competition, she is forced to partner with other contestants to uncover the answer to another mystery.  Who will win this competition?  What happened to Hayes’s brother?

The Wilde Trials is a stand-alone mystery that had the potential to be amazing, yet didn’t satisfy my urge to be thrilled.  Reed created a plausible story and great characters, but individual scenes seemed forced.  This could be because there have been a lot of books released in this specific niche genre recently and by comparison, it wasn’t up to par.  The Wilde Trials is a fun read if you need a good escape.
