Wow holy hell what did I just read? Barking Madness I think I can safely say this title perfectly sums up this book, it's certainly an unusual and intriguing read. Make sure you allow plenty of time to read this as it's a very long full length novel with no cliffhanger!

Barking Madness has the common themes found in YA literature: young protagonists, set in high school and trying to find their way, and themselves, when everything around them seems to be in a state of change. However, it does not read like the typical YA. It is darker, not only in the style of writing, but also in some of its themes – domestic abuse, drug use, and suicide. This is obviously not a happy book. But the writing is actually one of the things I liked best about this novel. It is atmospheric.... I liked Barking Madness for its different spin on YA, and dealing with realities that teenagers face.

Ryan Hill has nailed a great read.... I have to hand it to Ryan Hill, he nailed the negative teen persona and nailed it hard! Like a fly on the wall, the reader is privy to teens at their best and teens at their worst.... The language is blue, the drugs and drinking run wild and it becomes hard to separate their reality from Rose’s perception of reality. Looking for nailbiting intrigue, high teen angst and cruelty towards each other? In other words, how NOT to act?... a great read that will keep you guessing until the end.

Barking Madness by Ryan Hill is one awesome book that I will not soon forget! Wow, some parts still literally send chills up my spine.... The story flowed well, and the author writes very authentically, like how teens really act and talk... Does a great job of making us feel like we are really a part of the story, and I can't wait to read more from Mr. Hill in the future. Recommend for fans of thriller/suspense/fantasy/paranormal (4-5 stars).
