KARA THOMAS KNOWS SECRETS: WHY "THE CHEERLEADERS" AND "THE CHAMPIONS" ARE YOUR NEXT YA OBSESSION


Thrills, Chills, and Secrets: Welcome to Sunnybrook 📚✨

Hey, YA thriller fans! 🖤 Are you ready to dive into the dark, twisted world of Sunnybrook, where secrets are as thick as the fog on a rainy night? 🌫️ Two books, The Cheerleaders and The Champions by Kara Thomas, have us hooked, creeped out, and DYING to uncover every sinister twist. Let’s talk about why these books are absolute must-reads for anyone who loves mystery, drama, and a side of spine-tingling suspense.


🎀 The Cheerleaders — The Secrets Started Here

Picture this: a small town with a haunted past. Five cheerleaders dead in the span of a few months—car accidents, murders, and even a suicide. Monica, the younger sister of the last cheerleader to die, thought it was all behind her. WRONG. 🚨

Fast-forward five years, and Monica stumbles onto letters, an old cell phone, and a truth she can’t ignore. Why are people in Sunnybrook so eager to move on? And who’s hiding the truth about what really happened?

This book has EVERYTHING:

🕵️‍♀️ A stubborn protagonist who can’t stop digging for answers.

🎭 A town full of shady characters with motives they’d rather keep buried.

😱 Twists you won’t see coming until they hit you like a lightning bolt.


Fair warning: You’ll stay up ALL NIGHT reading because it’s that good. Who needs sleep when you’ve got secrets to unravel?


🏈 The Champions — The Boys Have Secrets, Too

Sunnybrook’s back—and it’s just as cursed as ever. This time, we’re following Hadley, a new girl in town who’s NOT here for the football team hype. But when a star player gets poisoned (👀), Hadley finds herself in the middle of another deadly mystery.

As if one poisoning wasn’t bad enough, another player ends up dead, and Hadley starts getting creepy messages. Are the Tigers connected to the cheerleaders’ deaths from years ago? Or is something even darker lurking in the shadows?

This book is like:

🏆 Friday Night Lights, but make it MURDER.

🔍 A slow-burn mystery that explodes into chaos.

💻 A deep dive into internet sleuthing, small-town drama, and the cost of digging too deep.


Hadley is your new favorite heroine: sarcastic, determined, and SO over everyone’s secrets.


Why YA Thriller Fans Will LOVE These Books 📖❤️

3. Twists Galore: Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out… BAM. You’re wrong. Kara Thomas is a MASTER of suspense.

4. That Creepy Vibe: If you love a good "small-town-with-dark-secrets" aesthetic, these books will scratch that itch.


So, what are you waiting for? Sunnybrook is calling. 📞 Will you dare to answer?

Grab The Cheerleaders and The Champions ASAP and let’s discuss theories, favorite twists, and what YOU would do if you found yourself in Sunnybrook’s mess. Who knows? Maybe the next secret Sunnybrook reveals will be yours. 😉
