Killing November by Adriana Mather

4.0

After a break in at her home, Adley is sent to the Academy Absconditi by her father for her protection. She soon learns that Academy Absconditi is no ordinary high school. She also learns that she is in just as much danger at the school if not more so. Readers follow Adley at Academy Absconditi, a high school for future subtle manipulators of world events, where everyone has an agenda and scheming and mistrust are the norm. She starts school in the middle of the semester . That may be frustrating to some readers as Adley seems clueless about the dangers she is facing and everyone else are steps ahead of her because they are familiar with the curriculum. For other readers it makes it easy to follow along with Adley as they discover new bits of information alongside her. While many of the characters are not likable, the short, suspenseful chapters make Killing November an enjoyable read.
