It’s a school completely off the grid, hidden by dense forest and surrounded by traps. There’s no electricity, no internet, and an eye-for-an-eye punishment system. Classes include everything from Knife-Throwing and Poisons to the Art of Deception and Historical Analysis. And all of the students are children of the world’s most elite strategists—training to become assassins, counselors, spies, and master impersonators. Into this world walks November Adley, who quickly discovers that friends are few in a school where personal revelations are discouraged and competition is everything. When another student is murdered, all eyes turn to November, who must figure out exactly how she fits into the school’s bizarre strategy games before she is found guilty of the crime…or becomes the killer’s next victim.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Killing November was an excellent novel filled with deception, intrigue and so much more!
Have you ever experienced the blind leading the blind? That is exactly how I felt while reading Killing November! There was so much that our leading lady, November wasn’t filled in on and it was no exception when it came to me as the reader. I learned as she learned and unraveling this mystery was some kind of fantastic.
I love the idea of boarding schools, but a boarding school hidden by a secret society? I couldn’t sign up fast enough, nor could I read fast enough. Everything was constantly changing and evolving. Hidden messages everywhere. Everyone out to get November.
Killing November was more of an experience than just reading a story. I felt like I was there. I could vividly see what was being described. I fascinated and terrified in equal measure. How these teenagers could figure out so much while I the adult would have been petrified was amazing.
November was a strong yet forgiving and undeniably human character that you could relate to and I feel like I am smarter after reading her story. This is just the beginning for November and I can’t wait for the rest of this story to be unveiled!
