Received from NetGalley, thanks!

CW: forced institutionalization, murder, torture, blood, probably more that I’m forgetting

I really enjoyed this book!  I also really enjoyed the first book, Teen Killers Club, and while this doesn’t specify that it’s a series (on GoodReads anyway), it absolutely is.  This one basically starts right where TKC ends, and thankfully I mostly remembered what happened in that book!

I don’t think I would say this is a romance, so much as it is a murdery book with a love story in it?  There is a lot of messed up stuff happening in this book (just as it did in the first book), and we get a lot more background info about how Camp Neramaka (sp? the hazards of audiobooks!) was founded, as well Eric’s background and the story about his body count (the people he killed).  There were parts where I found that Signal was being a bit unreasonable, but overall, I really liked everything that happened in this book.

It’s also quite obviously set up for another book, and I am very much looking forward to that!

Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for an arc of this book.

I absolutely loved Teen Killer's Club when it first came out and the thrilling, page-turning story that never slowed down! Teen Killers in Love was much the same, except the pace did slow down a little in some sections.  This story also focused much more on the romance between Signal and Eric than romance was focused on in the first book, but all your other favorites are still here!

I definitely love the pacing of this book. It is really a page turner and keeps you guessing at every point. I wasn't disappointed by this sequel!
