Reviews

Paranormal romance meets murder mystery in this YA tale. Echo Stone wakes up alone in a cold, dark room. This is her home now, she is told--a place called Middle House. Echo and a group of other children and teens were sent here one reason: they were all murdered... VERDICT A good addition to any YA murder mystery collection. --School Library Journal, Bobbi Parry, East Baton Rouge Parish School System, LA Bad Girl Gone will keep you guessing! It sucked me in and didn't spit me out until I'd turned the last page. --Iggy Azalea Praise for The New Kid: "This fast-paced, action-packed first novel by veteran Hollywood screenwriter Temple Mathews takes the idea of high school as hell to a whole new level. Will's story, part wish-fulfillment sci-fi adventure and part iconic hero's journey with a side of budding romance, will appeal to teen readers of both genders." --Somewhere Only We Know Blog "The pace is good, the attention to small details almost made it seem like a movie script, while the twists add character to the story." --Tome Tender Book Blog Temple Mathews is a writer to keep your eyes on. Bad Girl Gone has everything a young adult wants in a book, but also enjoyable for adults who want to read. I will definitely be checking out more from Temple Mathews in the future. --Kristin Downer, #NerdProblems
