This Book Kills is a YA mystery thriller with a killer cover! Seriously, how cool is the cover of this book??? Jess is a scholarship student at an elite British school, who finds herself at the center of an investigation when a fellow student is found dead in the same way a character in one of her short stories is found dead. Jess wants everyone to know that “I did not kill Hugh Henry Van Boren.” So, who killed him and why??????

This was an enjoyable YA mystery thriller which kept me engaged and turning the pages. There are a nice number of twists and turns along the way. There is also a nice amount of tension and suspicion thrown in as well. I thought the author did a great job of creating the elite private school with mainly the “haves” with a few “have nots”. As Jess begins to try to uncover whodunit, there is a mounting sense of danger and dread.

I believe the YA audience that this book is geared for will enjoy this book more than I did. I put this in my liked but didn’t love category.

I received a copy of this book from Sourcebooks Fire and Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
