I was looking forward to this series conclusion so much I started it and had to walk away. I just wasn't ready to say goodbye to the Teen Killers Club. It took me quite a while to feel ready to listen to this audiobook. While I enjoyed it immensely, this installment did feel like it had a lot more teen relationship drama than the other two. For a while it was a bit much to handle, but overall this book gives you exactly what you expect, a group of teens put in some impossible situations, and forced to fight for their lives. It was action packed, included emotional growth of its characters, and had a conclusion that brought a smile to your face. All in all it was a fitting ending for the Teen Killers Club.

As with the first two books, the narrator did an excellent job bringing Signal and the rest of the cast to life.

I read and listened to the audiobook for the full tandem experience of this book and I’m so glad I did. The narrator captured the characters well and the book was set at a solid pace. I’d seriously be the first to watch if this series was adapted to a movie or mini series. Loved the trial/deposition depictions, as it adds to the overall pressure put on the characters. If you want morally gray characters with high stakes situations, and raw emotion then you need to pick this up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Teen Killers at Large by Lily Sparks

This is the final book in The Teen Killers Club trilogy. This series was an unexpected gem. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books. The third book was a bit different.

In this one, we see the conclusion to the camp, the experiments, the mysteries, and all of those involved. There was never a chance to digest all that happened in this book. With the amount of things going on throughout this last book, it could have easily been broken into another book, which I’m glad it didn’t. There was never a shortage of excitement, adventure, and mystery.. There was betrayal, theft, betrayal, theft, love, toxicity, blood shed, heartache, love, blood shed, toxicity, betrayal, and resolution. I’ve come to the conclusion that Signal and Eric are not meant to be--they are so toxic together! I just couldn't get myself to root for them, but I won’t spoil whether or not they made it. There were a handful of new characters introduced in this book which I had a hard time sorting out for a while, but by about midway, I think I had it.

This is a solid young adult series that I will continue to recommend in my high school library. Excellent job Ms. Sparks!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this title for review.

I have been on a roller coaster ride with this series. What a ride it has been. Signal has been through a lot. She is not the same person as she was in book one. She is a fighter. Although, she is not alone as she has Erik and the Class A killers.

They will all have to give it everything they have for this final battle. Having been with Signal and Erik from the beginning, I was on board with their budding romance. I was cheering for them.

While I did like this book, at times it did feel a bit disjointed. Sometimes it felt like things were moving too fast and it was hard for me to focus on it all at once. I did listen to the audio version of this book and to be honest, this is the way to enjoy this series.

And so it ends. For the last 3 years I have been living off the Halloween high of the Teen Killers Club books. Quick recap. There is a test to determine how possible it is to become a serial killer. Kids who get an A on this test are sent to camp to become assassins for the government. Book 1 is about the test and about Camp. Our main character Signal Deere swears she did not kill her best friend and that she is no killer. Erik is the bad boy. He is Class A all the way. Book 2 Erik and Signal run away from camp and fall in love. Signal also learns about Erik’s backstory, where the test came from, and why he is a Class A. Read the books, their great I promise. I loved books 1 and 2,

Now for book 3. This is the cumulation of the story. Signal is back with her campmates. They are trying to take down camp, get rid of the test, and get everyone free. Yeahhhh. Erik is still on the run, because his brother wants him dead. The entire group have become celebrities. There are pro killers club groups and anti-killers club groups. It is time to end things. This book is my least favorite. Some much revolves around drama. Not horror drama, girl/boy drama. Teen drama. Drama that has been absent from the rest of the books. While I hate using the word this book would be considered “clean”. There is extensive talk of marriage that services a purpose other then to allow for sex. But the marriage is just more drama that I could not wait to be over. This book does wrap up nicely. I thought the very end was too rushed, but it does set up for a sequel series. I don’t think a direct sequel (I could be wrong), but a new series about after. I hope not. I like it where it is. I love this series, and while this is a nice wrap up, it is the worse book of the series.

Signal and Erik were particularly compelling characters, and the concept of a gang of young killers brought a unique and captivating spin to the story, with hints of X-Men vibes that added a fascinating dimension.

The most enjoyable sections for me was the trial and testimony scenes. Lily Sparks masterfully executed these, making them the most gripping part of the book. The intensity and drama in these sections had me eagerly tuned in.

The narrator, Jesse Villinsky, whose performance was nothing short of outstanding. Her narration kept me engaged from start to finish, and her talent in bringing the characters to life was truly remarkable. She added an extra layer of depth to the story.

I’ve loved this series from the start, and it’s underrated in my opinion. I’ve dreaded saying goodbye to these characters, but I’ll hold on to the hope someone will snatch it up for a movie adaptation.

It’s difficult to review the third book in a series without spoilers, but I’ll try. Signal’s story started when she was framed for the murder of her best friend. To avoid prison, she’s sent to a top secret camp where Class A teens – those deemed to have the most dangerous and manipulative criminal profiles – are trained to be assassins. Signal isn’t a Class A, but she’s surrounded by other teens who are. Some of them become loyal friends, and the friendships between them are one of my favorite aspects of this series. Criminals or not, they’re good people at their core and want the best for each other.

The series is full of twists, turns, surprises – and all the feels. I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions with this final book and wanted to shut out everything so I could learn the fate of these characters. Erik and Signal really put me through it. They have their ups, downs, fights, and romantic moments, but are willing to sacrifice for each other at every turn.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Jesse Vilinsky, is outstanding – one of the best I’ve heard. If you enjoy going through the gamut of emotions with characters, strong friendships, tons of suspense, and a mystery that keeps you guessing, I highly recommend the Teen Killers Club series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Currently experiencing a book hangover. I need more! I need to know Eric’s plan. I need to know if Eric was able to accomplish what he needed during his “death”. Signal! She has been through it. I need to know about the new retreat. I need to know about life for everyone once free. Jada and Dennis? Does it work out? Nobody? What happens in her life? I need a Javier book. He deserves his own ending! These characters all have a piece of my heart. Even the twins. Their story is devastating and completely shattered my heart. They are well written and you will fall for every single one of them. I adored this series and the found family of a group of misfits the world cast aside. Read this series. It is fast paced, constantly have you questioning everything. Seriously so good.

I absolutely loved the third installment of this series. I'm usually not a fan of audiobooks, but I missed out on the book ARC and wanted to find out what happened in the final book so I went for the audiobook. I must say that the narrator really nailed at making this story come alive.

I was so excited when I saw "Teen Killers At Large" by Lily Sparks was releasing. The first two books of this trilogy have kept me up at night reading then along with staying in my thoughts after. I was eager to jump back into Signal's story and see her friends again. I went back and forth between the print book and the audio copy. The narration was so great and I felt like I was walking alongside the characters. Thank you Kate Rock Book Tours, Lily Sparks and Crooked Lane Books for the advanced copies! All thoughts and opinions are my own!

This book was so stressful!! This is a great series and I can't wait to see how the Teen Killers bring an end to the testing to classify people and to the corps and authorities trying to control them and misuse the faulty testing. I love that Erik and Signal finally get to be together!

What a beautiful journey I just went on! I didn't realize this was the third book in a series when I requested it but I decided to listen to the others and just flew through them. I was obsessed from the start! This series is definitely one of my new favorites and I look forward to more amazing things from this author in the future. This was such a great conclusion to the teen killers club story. This book had me on edge and never knowing who to trust or what to expect next. It was so terrifying at times so I was very happy with how the book ended. I love love love the friendships in this book that became family. I was also so happy to be introduced to Signal's mom and I wish she would've been a bigger role throughout the series but I'm still glad she made an appearance. I'm honestly so sad that it's over now. I want more. Maybe a movie or tv series hopefully?

New favorite series and author HANDS DOWN.

A HUGE THANKYOU to Netgalley, Lily Sparks as well as the publishers for the audiobook for a copy in exchange for an honest review 😩

First the audiobooks are all great Jesse Vilinsky is one of my favorite audiobook narrators out there so I was so excited when I saw they were the ones to narrate it.

So I picked this up from netgalley based on the the concept of the book as well as the beautiful cover and I am so happy I did. I hadn't realized it was the third in a series but I was happy to quickly read the two first.

I just binged this entire series in less than 2 days and will happily re-read them again VERY shortly once I get my hands on physical copies so I can annotate it.

Lily Sparks writing is SO insanely good. I was honest not bored once during any of them. I fell in love with every single one of these characters, They were so easy to love.

That ending was so perfect too I loved it 😭

If you're a fan of true crime I honestly think you will eat this series up as fast as I did.

this series is so underrated and it makes me so sad cause this is honestly one of the best YA thrillers I have read. PLEASE go read Teen Killers Club I need more people to talk about this series to 😭🤣

This final installment packs more than a punch! I was so sad to see the end of this series, as I have absolutely loved each book, with them for sure being a comfort series for me.

Signal is really put to the test in this book, along with her relationship with Eric. Alliances are made and betrayals are brutal, and every single moment was perfect. Signal is again fighting for her innocence in the murder of her best friend, and is sequestered with most of the other Class A’s and she is determined to help her friends.

This book (and series) has one of the best friend groups, a real, true found family, and they all bring something wonderful to the table.

The end of a beloved series is bittersweet, but this one will stick me forever.
