With 2020 being the absolute disaster of a year that it is, sometimes you need an equally WTF type book to jar your numbed senses, which is exactly what Teen Killers Club brilliantly does!

Signal Deere (yep, that’s her name and my only real gripe with the book) was convicted of murdering her best friend and labeled a Class A murderer (the most dangerous and manipulative). In order to avoid life in prison, Signal agrees to join a secret program designed to train Class As under the age of 18 as assassins. Unfortunately for Signal, she’s not actually a murderer unlike her new bunkmates at camp, and it doesn’t take long for everything to go terribly wrong.

This story really takes the fun and excitement of summer camp and turns it into this dark and sinister setting where these teenagers are literally being trained to not only assassinate people but also ensuring that they don’t get caught. If you have a weak stomach and gore bothers you, you may struggle with this one a bit. These teens are literally learning how to properly dispose of bodies, which can range from digging deep trenches to liquefying bones. The writing of this story is incredibly vivid and immersive, and I honestly felt like I was in camp hell alongside the team.

The characters from this story are incredible, and they are the epitome of a rag tag team. Signal is our MC, and she definitely has the most to gain and lose since she can’t remember what happened the night her best friend was murdered, and she doesn’t have the penchant for murder like the rest of the team. Considering there’s a sizeable cast, each of the characters are really well developed and perfectly play out their respective roles. I never thought I’d come to love some of these murderous teens, but alas, here I am.

There is a love triangle in this story, which the author executes really well given the circumstances that these teenagers are faced with. I am not going to go into details, but I definitely appreciated the challenges that were addressed.

The pacing of the book was steady and held my attention. You have the unsolved murder mystery of Signal’s best friend Rose, but you also learn about why each of the teenagers have been sent to this camp and the crimes that they respectively committed. Furthermore, learning about the inner workings of the camp itself was both highly disturbing and fascinating. I never felt like the plot became stagnant. I was definitely engrossed through out.

If you’re looking for a great “escape” read, I definitely recommend this one. It’s one hell of a roller coaster ride packed with plenty of twists, turns, and murderous happenings.

Thank you to Crooked Lane Books for the tour invite and providing a review copy. This did not influence my review. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book. I think it will be much discussed when released. Plus, it's a great audiobook with.str9ng narration.

Teen Killers Club is a book about humanity and redemption. It's a fascinating.look into the minds of those deemed as killers and how others want to manipulate them.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for sharing this book. All thoughts are my own.

WOW! This was SO good! Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the Audio ARC of Teen Killers Club.

It was entertaining, witty, imaginative, unique, and had heartfelt moments. It had elements that reminded me of the Amazon Prime Hannah show, The Borne movies, and a dash of Breakfast Club. I loved the characters and banter, I was surprised by plot points or reveals multiple times, and I liked the narrator.

I loved, loved, loved this book! I did not want to stop listening to this book. I did not think I would like it with the premise of a group of teen killers put together in a "camp" to train them to be assassins. I really liked the character development, plot, action, just WOW! The whole book was surprising, but the mystery surrounding the
murder Signal was convicted of committing, had so many twists! I had major "book hang over" after this book. I also liked the narrator. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for a free audiobook ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book totally took me by surprise! I was totally engrossed in the story, trying to figure out if Signal was innocent or not and what secrets the other campers were keeping. This went in so many ways, I constantly doubted myself and my theories. There's also an interesting love triangle to add a bit more drama and keep us sucked in.

Signal has been (wrongfully?) convicted of killing her best friend and classified 'A', the worst level of offender. To avoid prison, she's joined a camp for other class A's, but she gets a surprise when it turns out the kids are learning to be assassins. Signal isn't cut out to kill people, so she begins to unite the kids and tries to convince them that they're better than murder and need to get out. She bonds immediately with Javier when he helps her with their tasks. He's sweet and doesn't seem to fit in the merciless killer box.

The other guy is Eric, who has the most kills of anyone at camp. He's known to manipulate others, get in their heads and exploit their weaknesses. He and Signal have clear chemistry, but it's hard to tell if he's interested or just playing with her. I was torn between who to root for for most of the book, but by the end I knew who was the right choice.

The killer storyline was twisty and well done. I would have liked more of the characters' backstories and the ending is pretty open. I hope their will be a sequel, please?!!
The audiobook narrator did a great job. She really put herself into it and added little details that made it even better.

I received a copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Teen Killers Club had me hooked right from the beginning. The audiobook narrator was great, a perfect choice able to convey the struggling, and wrongly convicted Signal, as well as the cast of campers she finds herself with. This quick paced book is YA, but besides a couple of scenes focused on kissing/being unexperienced in relationships it doesn't feel young. There was good character development for the campers, surprising twists and turns, a bit of romance, and action galore. The premise of murders being categorized on their level of derangement, and the most dangerous "Class A" teens being trained to be professional killers is extremely interesting. Throw in the fact that the main character, Signal, comes to camp having never killed anyone before, and looking at this as an opportunity to figure out who actually killed her best friend. There isn't a dull moment. This is a "summer camp" like no other. And the ending - wow. I'm content with this conclusion, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I want more of the Teen Killers Club.

I volunteered to listen to this book through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. The narrator did a great job reading this book. The pacing of this story is great. I highly enjoyed this audiobook. I would definitely recommend, this audiobook to anyone, and everyone. This audiobook will be in stores on November 10, 2020 for $24.99 (USD). The narrator did a great job, I can't wait to listen to more books narrated by her. And I can't wait to read more books by Lily Sparks.

Listen to this book. Or read this book. Either one, I listened to it because that is how I was able to get it.

A group of teenagers who are labeled violent and dangerous beyond redemption are taken from their prison sentences and brought to a camp to teach them to be more productive and competent killers! This is a world where people are rated, some before they have ever committed a crime, and labeled by level of danger they present. Our kids have been labeled with a big old A (for Assassin, it seems) The lessons they learn are harsh and shocking. They ARE teens who are being trained with the intention of being sent on assassination missions. What could go wrong with that plan?

Signal is a little different because she is pretty sure she hasn't killed anyone. I mean, she is more than 90% sure she didn't kill her best friend. She definitely does not remember doing it. The courts disagreed. Now she is going along with the hope that she can find out who really did kill her. And who and why she was framed for the murder. just in case it wasn't her after all She is almost certain it wasn't. Pretty sure.

The other teens she meets at camp have far less trouble with the murdering and the body disposal. Can we just stop and think the setting here? A creepy, closed down summer camp being used to train kids to kill without getting caught. How perfect is that? Not every teen is as innocent as Signal assumes she is. Some have racked up quite a kill rate. You wouldn't think that they would be a group you could trust or depend on. They are all she has, though, so Signal gets past that. She does find that there are people she can trust as she tries to solve the mystery of the murder she has been convicted of committing.

Oh, and there are people in masks trying to murder them, too.

Sure, this book gets a little weird. That is what is so entertaining about it. A serious and factual book about teenagers being trained to be killers for an off-book government agency is pretty dim. You have to make it weird to make it less depressing. I enjoyed the banter and the sarcasm that sprang up between the characters most of all. It's not easy to make teen killers even a little likable.

Thanks to Netgalley, Lily Sparks, and Crooked Lane Books for the ARC. Please view on my blog at https://readeotw.wordpress.com/2020/11/09/teen-killers-club-by-lily-sparks/

When your number means how many people you have killed, you know you are in for a thrill ride. Teenage killers brought together, false accusations and unexpected turns come together for an original and suspenseful tale. The audiobook was very well done. I felt as if I was there with the characters experiencing the crazy! Thank you NetGalley for my audiobook.

I didn't expect to care and love these characters so much. At the beginning, most of them creeped me out. I was worried and scared of what they might do to the main character but time passed, things happened and I ended up crying for them. How did THAT happen? ahah. This book almost broke me.
It took me by surprise and I loved every second of it.

In this story, you follow a wrongly accused teenage girl as she is sent in a camp to learn how to kill efficiently and how "to not get caught". They're prisoners and they have no other choice than to do what they are told before they're sent on a mission to kill a target. The fact that our FMC is innocent is even more scary since she has to fit in when all of this is terrifying and horrible especially since the other teenagers here aren't the most stable people out there. The atmosphere was on point and I was stressed out for her. The whole mystery about who really killed her victim was also interesting.

Overall, this book kept my attention from beginning to the end and I couldn't look away (or listen away in that case, I guess). I am really glad I got to read this book because it will leave a mark on me.

(Thank you for letting me read and review an ARC via Netgalley)

I was skeptical about this at first.

First off the narrator was ok, that being said there was some parts I had to take my hearing aid out because it was shrill.

Signal is a class A. Class A means they committed murder as a teen. She clings to her innocence about killing her friend.

A hand full of class As are heading to camp to learn how to kill and clean up their mess.

Signal falls in love, learns about her case and has to survive this crazy new life of hers.

WHAT. A. BOOK. I absolutely loved Teen Killers Club! It’s a cross between #MurderTrending and Twilight. A secret government program rounds up teen killers from prison to train them to be assassins at a repurposed summer camp. I loved following Signal and her friends as they try to hide bodies, run obstacle courses and learn how not to get caught. It was fast paced and I genuinely enjoyed the narrator.

Ok, this book was a treat. Unique plot, great writing, and enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of the page but wasn't confusing or overwhelming. All the best elements of a secret society with plot and pacing that I've not yet encountered. Definitely a great read for YA adults, but certainly not limited to that audience. Thank you, Net Galley and Lily Sparks!

One of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. Perfectly categorized, as this book has a little bit for everyone, or everyone that enjoys YA, that is. Suspense all throughout. A little bit of a love story, but not too much. An extremely interesting story idea. The narrator is one of the best I’ve ever listened to. I absolutely loved her voice and all of the different voices she used for the different characters. There was never any question or need for telling which character was talking. Fantastic listen. The end left it possible for maybe a second book, which I would love.

This book has it all. Action, adventure, MURDER??? I am honestly so happy I got to read and experience it early. I feel like the audiobook maybe the way to go for this one yall because it really helps you get into the head of our protagonist a bit more. I just wish it was a bit longer.

Overall, Teen Killers Club is a yes please of a debut.

This one got off to a rock start for me, as I was listening to the audiobook. But I am really glad I stuck to it! This has such dark and twisted vibes... I mean serial killers and camps? Sign me up!

So Signal goes to jail for killing her best friend but she doesn't remember doing it. This book was everything I never expected. I do think I need to go back and read it regularly without audio though.

I never thought I would be rooting for serial killers. This book takes morally grey to a whole new level. I'm pretty sure I went through all five stages of grief in the last five minutes of this book alone. Wow. Writing this review is difficult because I loved it so much. This went not at all how I expected it to. Holy plot twists, crazy romance, amazing friendships, a bet that the main character can't stop herself from making, and so much more. I decided to request this novel because it sounded like a cool idea for a mystery, and now, despite the fact that this book has yet to be released, I want the sequel. How would one go about getting that by the way? I have been screaming in my room until four in the morning about this book the past two days, and am writing this review at 2:33 a.m. This book had me all kinds of enthralled, leaving me so curious as to what would happen next. I love how this book looks at how we rate the psychological build of certain people as "'dangerous" and how that would apply in a world where that ranking system decides whether or not you will ever live a life outside of prison. I hated the original antagonists of the story, and came to realize they weren't even the worst part. The premise of this book is that the main character, Signal Deere, is investigating the murder of her best friend the night they were together, she was framed, and the events she doesn't remember. I am shaken to my core after reading this book. I had so many thoughts the entire time, of who I thought it was, what I thought was going to happen, and save for a single plot twist, every guess I had was wrong. So, yeah. I will be hoping and praying for a sequel to this book, and checking net galley frequently to see if it becomes an option. I am glad beyond words that I decided to request this book on a whim. This is one of the easiest books I have ever rated. A five star book in every single sense of the phrase. No matter what genre you prefer, this book has a bit of it all, and I will be recommending this to anyone who will listen. A special thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for accepting my request to read this book.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. I wasn't sure i would like it, but the narrator is really good, and the story was interesting enough to keep me coming back.

Teen Killer Club was an entertaining listen and offered a good distraction from the world. Signal is wrongly accused of her best friends murder and is sent to an assassins training camp to avoid jail time. That being said, I thought this was funny with its morbid humor but I didn’t love this for a few reasons. I liked the writing and I do think the narrator did a good job bringing the characters to life. Signal herself was pathetic which I understand was the point but I didn't like how weak she was. I also didn’t care for the love triangle either. As for the rating, I’m caught in between liking it but also thinking it was okay. I thought the plot was interesting enough but sadly didn’t love this one as others have seemed to.

Thanks so much to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for the advanced audiobook!

4.5/5

You will be forever happy that you decided to read/listen to this extraordinary book. You will find dialogue that is genuine, realistic, and honest, you will find a love story that is, well, lovely and dramatic, you will find friendships that are relatable, you will meet characters to fall in love with and characters to hate with every fiber of your being, you will be a part of a mystery that is engaging and surprising in its execution, you will encounter suspense that is terrifying and ridiculous at the same time, and you will endure a perfectly intense ending that is a little twisty but believable. You will find this is all wrapped up in a neat little bundle that is really a commentary on how friendship can bring the best out of people and how deep inside all of us there is love to be found. And after reading you will discover an important message hidden within this thrilling and absurd novel: we are all complicated and we are all full of internal struggles and we are all shrouded by an external faux toughness. Maybe you will not see any of this or maybe just some of it. Maybe you will say it is a bit too clichéd or maybe you will say it is a bit predictable. But I believe you will not forget this experience easily.

PR: I cannot leave this review without mentioning the narrator Jesse Vilinsky. She totally rocked this! My god it was amazing listening to her bring this story to life.

I will update the feedback when my reviews go live on publication day.
