Wow! I read this book in 2 days! Fast moving and gripping, it kept me guessing until the end. I loved the atmospheric elements, spring snow storm in a college town, and the character development was excellent. R.J. Jacobs was a new author for me but I will definitely seek out more of their work. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to review this advanced copy!

R.J. Jacobs' latest thriller has everything lovers of dark academia crave--a charismatic psychology professor, a questionably ethical experiment, and a group of students who can't stop lying. Right from its chilling opening, Jacobs ratchets up the tension and deftly reveals the secrets and true identities of everyone involved on the way to a page-turning climax. This Is How We End Things is a great read.

I loved the premise of this book, but I struggled to connect with the writing. It came off a bit stiff, which made it hard for me to get invested in the characters. While unfortunately this went in my DNF pile, hopefully it'll be a better fit for other readers.

Dark Academia studying sociopathology- what could possibly go wrong? Luckily for the reader, a whole heck of a lot. Even when I wanted to smack these kids I kept turning pages, so this book did what it had to do.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.
