Description
A brilliantly page-turning thriller with an unusual psychological twist, which fans of One of Us is Lying, Ace of Spades and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder will love.
Sariyah is determined not to let her missing friend become just another statistic, one of many vanished Black girls. But despite her talent for ESP, Sariyah is struggling, even when the clues point surprisingly close to home.
When Sariyah's birthday celebrations at a music festival turn sour with the disappearance of one of her friends, she knows she can't rely on the police to find her. The authorities are no more help than they were when her friend's twin sister, another young woman of colour, went missing five years earlier. Sariyah feels guilty that her uncanny ability to predict people's needs didn't help to keep her friends safe. She is determined to find out what's happened to Deja. But the more she cracks the clues leading to her, the closer she gets to home …
'An unputdownable mystery centering a missing Black girl and the relentless search of friends who won't give up on her. [...] Needy Little Things is a triumphant debut.' Jessica Lewis, author of Bad Witch Burning

I had to stay up late to finish reading this because I was hooked!
The FMC has this ability where she knows what a person ‘needs’. She gives her friend an item she needs and then her friend goes missing. There are are some strange characters around town that are super suspicious. Sariyah and her friends don’t believe the police will find Deja so they need to take it into their own hands.
If you love YA thrillers like The Blonde Dies First, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, or Catch Your Death, then you should check this out.

Really enjoyed this, really well written, so many twists and turns and has you guessing right till the end. The characters are unique and really well developed and the ending was just amazing!

A surprising book as a group of friends try to uncover the mysterious disappearance of another friend.
Sariyah can hear what people need, the constant noise in her head causing stress as she tries to help others by providing what they need.
When her friend disappears, Sariyah feels guilty and tries to uncover the truth of what happened.
An unusual book I enjoyed reading.
I hope we see Sariyah again.

Firstly, I did not read what this book was about, I just saw the cover and went into it and I’m glad I did. I’m still in shock with everything that happened. It was so twisty. Sariyah is that girl!
You think you know how it’s going to end but it just takes a different turn. The mystery was just getting deeper and deeper. The twist was REALLY good. What I liked about this book is that it was so different. It was such a gripping YA story. It was also insightful when it touched on sensitive topics such as sickle cell and depression.
This is a book that I would definitely buy when it comes out. I would definitely recommend.
Thank you Bloomsbury Publishing UK and NetGalley for this ARC.
