A fast paced read with a bit of darkness from the characters. Psychopathic Teen Killers learning how to be a better killer and not getting caught, who wouldn't want to read about them. But it had a bit too much teenage angst in the beginning didn't truly get to the action until the end. I wanted this book to be what the title says  but it's a good start to seeing how the will become assassins, if they survive. The mystery ride of finding out if the main character is truly  killer was fun, great twist.  I would read the follow-up if the book becomes a series.  The characters were interesting I would enjoy knowing more about them.

Received an ARC of this book through NetGalley and Crooked Lane books in exchange for a review!


A book about about a camp where a bunch of teens get taught how to get away with murder? Not something I knew I needed until now. 

Overall, I really enjoyed Teen Killers Club. The characters are all very interesting and very flawed, none of them coming off as perfect like I feel like a lot of ya characters do. The descriptions are great like the image of the camp was painted wonderfully and I now know a bunch of things about getting a way with murder that I didn't know before. 

The world in general is very interesting with people being put into Classes. The teen killers club is made up of Class A which means they are the worst and most of them have a count for how many people they've killed. I also liked how the story unfolded for the teen killers club and when the truth came out about what they were truly up to. 

Like any book, there were a few things I didn't like and with this one, it was the romance for me. It felt very juvenile. I know that they are teens but I do believe the age range for them was like 17 to 18 and the way the " relationships " were going felt more 14 to 15 to me. The love triangle also felt unnecessary. 

Despite not liking the romantic aspects all that much, there was a quote that I did enjoy from it " I see the angel and I want to set her free " and if there were a sequel, I would be interested in seeing what happens with this couple.
