She is innocent, she is not a murderer. Yet, only Signal Deere knows this is true and the reason she is headed to a secret killers compound. Can these murderers help her prove her innocence or will she became one of them? The Teen Killers Club is a fast paced mystery suspense novel. Sparks weaves a complex murder mystery with physiological elements to create a multi tired plot that will have readers thinking twice if they really know the characters. Signal is an innocent teen who is thrown to the wolves and must navigate her way through a special force for murderers. While the premise of the plot is intriguing, Signal is shallow and the reader does not get much depth or foundation of who this protagonist is. Very little of Signals past and her relationship with her deceased friend is given. This makes the set up for the whole book flimsy and unengaging. Readers learn more about the other members of the Ten Killers Club and even this information is not very much. The testing for admission to the compound is mentioned in passing and not really thought out. The school itself is loosely based on a training facility and does not offer any "assassin training" to aid the teens. Overall the book is a fast paced mystery that does not have any real depth to it.

An advanced readers copy was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

AH! This was so fun! I wanna read the sequel immediately!

Okay so this was like Scooby Doo meets Borne Identity. You have trained teen assassins but instead of being used by “the man” they team up against “the man”.

I devoured it!
