I really enjoyed this book and it was incredibly entertaining. There were so many twists and turns that I never saw what was coming, which made for an exciting read. I think that the mystery was very well written and the characters all very interesting. Overall, this was a really good book!

This book was so good and it seems there was room left to have a second boat and I would totally be down with reading that. I have read the authors romance books and totally enjoyed them and to know she has a great talent for Crime writing was surprising but not surprising she is very talented and an author whose books I looked up when watching a new read and I will definitely check out her crime mysteries in the future. I hope this is the first of many books in this Siri‘s because I absolutely loved this one. I want to think the publisher and Net Galley for my free arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

College can be murder.
Catching a killer can be deadly.

I really enjoyed the story, but the writing left a little to be desired.

Thank you Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. Took a little bit but once you get into the story some it hooks you! Elliot, Trey, Teddy, Seema, and Hilary are invited to join the Campus Murder Club. They’re first case solving the cold case murder of a fellow student named Jamie. Who runs the club? Why were they invited? These are questions they don’t have answers to. But with the cops closing in on them they’ll have to decide whether or not they want to find Jamie’s killer. But could it be too dangerous? They’re strangers so can they even trust each other? Is it legal? I liked that there were multiple mysteries in this one. Readers start off with two and then more unfold as they search for Jamie’s killer. Intriguing and thrilling, if you’re like me you’ll consume this book! And the ending provides just the right amount of answers with questions! Can’t wait to read it again!

I’ve never read anything by Kristi Rose before Campus Murder Club, so I was a little nervous at these. I shouldn’t have been though because this book was great! I always love it when I can’t guess the ending and that doesn’t happen too often, so it was a pleasant surprise. Elliot and all the characters are wonderfully developed and well written and the storyline really kept me on my toes while also making me want to finish the book all in one sitting. Would definitely recommend to any thriller/mystery lovers. I would also love to see a sequel or series related to this book!

I have not given 5 stars to many books this year, but this one definitely deserves all of them.

From the beginning, I had the feeling that it was going to be at least a solid 4-star rating. The first pages are very engaging and put me directly into the story with the characters. They all have some chapters from their point of view and I got to discover them a little bit more every time. Also, every character has their importance and they all bring something to the group.

The group’s dynamic is very pleasing and well-constructed. It brings a little charm to the story that is (obviously) quite dark. I don’t have one character that really caught my attention, even though I very much liked one girl and one guy in particular. There is a very important and interesting mental health representation, which isn’t very common in a ya thriller.
I liked the fact that several storylines were added to the main one; it added more depth and appeal. And I have to admit, one revelation had me gasping, I did not see it coming at all and it was fantastic. *chef’s kiss*
Also, some aspects of the ending caught me by surprise — in a good way. The author chose one path especially for a character that is rather rare in the genre and I really appreciated that choice. It was a rather realistic ending.

I want to thank Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for a honest review. This is definitely a book that I would see on my shelves when it will be released.

This book is a thrilling ride that will leave you guessing and second-guessing until the very end.

This book was phenomenal! The Campus Murder Club had me on the edge of my seat. With so many twist and turns, you never knew what was going to happen next!

Six months ago, nursing student, Jamie, was found murdered in her dorm room. With no new leads, police have determined her murder a cold case. Many students are ready to move on, tired of the mandatory curfews and lack of school events. However, some students still want justice for Jamie.

When five students receive a mysterious letter inviting them to The Campus Murder Club to discuss Jamie’s murder, they soon find that the person behind this group wants them to find Jamie’s killer. The Messenger has given them a head start, a box of evidence full of journals and crime scene photos. The journals may hold the key to finding Jamie’s killer but can the group figure out the clues before it is too late.

The Campus Murder Club was captivating. I had so many questions in the beginning. Who killed uJamie? Why were these students chosen? Who is the messenger? Each question had me more invested in the story that I didn’t want to put down. I would have never guessed the ending but was satisfied on how everything played out. The book left on a possible cliffhanger that opened up the possibility of a book two, which I would happily read.

The Campus Murder Club is available October 6th!

Thank you NetGalley and Victoria Editing on the opportunity to review The Campus Murder Club. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you, Kristi Rose and NetGalley, for the ARC. I leave this review voluntarily and happily. Also, thank you publishers for your hard work!

This was phenomenal! I couldn't put it down! Going unto this book, you think it's about one mystery when, in fact, boom! There are more! This truly had me at the edge of my seat wondering who the killers were, who did they do it, and whether our main characters would figure out who they were! The main characters are very much lovable, and you want nothing bad to happen to them. You learn about them as the story goes on. This is a book I will definitely be rereading.

Death, despair, anger, and so many emotions rolled into one book. Of course, there's more to it than that. Five completely different people come together because of a letter, and they become a group to solve a murder no one seems to care about. They get all the information, clues, and everything they can. Will they solve it, or will they uncover more sinister things as they go along? That's for you to find out.

I truly loved this book. Thank you so much for allowing me to review it!

This was a fast and overall fun read. I was a bit skeptical about the plot at the beginning just thinking how unlikely it is that a group of college students who do not know each other would show up somewhere after receiving an anonymous, somewhat sketchy letter.

However, I really enjoyed how the story builds and plays out. I loved the way each character has a connection that they had to figure out along the way. The ending felt slightly forced but maybe that is just the result of so much build up and plot development.

This was my first read from this author but o would definitely read more. I enjoyed the book and felt like it kept me thinking and questioning things throughout the story.

I didn’t know what to expect from this book because I’ve never read anything from this author before but I really enjoyed it and I hope we get to see more of these characters in a second book.

Jaime’s murder was 6 months ago and the case has gone cold with no hope of new evidence. That is until a group of almost strangers are all called together to make up the Campus Murder Club and are tasked with solving Jaime’s murder. As they work together to solve the murder qnd come to grips with their own traumas it almost seems like they may solve the crime, but as the stakes get higher they wonder if they are in over their heads. This was a great read and I look forward to more from The Campus Murder Club.

This reminds me of the One Of Us Is Next series with the murder and campus link. I enjoyed reading it just as much as that series.

“One of Us Is Lying” meets “The Breakfast Club” in this thrilling young adult mystery novel.

Six months ago, nursing student Jaime Sullivan was brutally murdered in her private, all-girls dorm at South Washington University, a prestigious college nestled in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. After unsuccessfully finding the killer, law enforcement quickly abandoned the case. Six months after Jaime’s murder, five students receive cryptic invitations to join the “Campus Murder Club” and become citizen sleuths. With seemingly nothing in common, these five unsuspecting students team up and embark on a quest to find the truth. As they delve into Jaime’s past, their lives are put in danger. Will they unmask the killer, or will they become the next victims?

As a huge fan of cozy mysteries and amateur sleuths, I was very excited to read this book. Reminiscent of “One of Us Is Lying” and “The Breakfast Club,” this was a quick and fun read. I enjoyed most of the book, but some of it was too unbelievable. I can’t imagine any law enforcement agency abandoning a murder investigation after only six months, or a university just letting a murder on their campus go unsolved. With that being said, it was still an entertaining book. I loved the disparate group coming together and discovering that they had more in common than they thought. The book ended with all loose ends tied up, but it still left the door open for a potential series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

#CampusMurderClub #NetGalley is a book that you won't want to put down.
When I started this book, I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never read anything by Kristi Rose.
This book grabbed me from the beginning, a small college town, an unsolved murder, and 5 students who have very different lives.
When an anonymous note brings them together, they are all skeptical of each other, and unsure what the sender actually wanted from them.
As the story unravels, secrets are revealed and the lives of everyone involved are at risk.
This is a fantastic book and I'm hoping there will be more with this wonderful group of characters.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.
