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.
