"it's perfectly logical," says the killer as they lay out their entire unhinged, manical plan to ruin a dozen people's and their family's lives.
What a weird fucking book. Emily, our main character, is much more concerned about boys and the way they smell and her standing with them than the bodies piling up. I didn't really feel any tension because it was all pretty melodramatic, and often the stuff happening didn't make any sense. Even after the big reveal, I still have a hard time believing it outside the explanation given. It's so over the top. The author tries to set up obvious suspects, but clearly I'm not going to believe it's the abrasive nerd who downloaded the plane schematics.
And what does the title even mean? Fuck, "Killer Flight" is right there. Thin Air conveys NOTHING.

Narrator Rating: 4 stars
Trapped on a transatlantic private flight for a scholarship competition. A group of teens try to discover who's trying to kill them and why.
The killer did surprise me! Which is always a plus. I wish there had been more POVs than just the one. Though I guess that made it harder to guess the killer.
Emily could get annoying at points and really dragged the book down a bit. I think Liam would have made a better MC.
Overall though it was a pretty good YA romantic mystery thriller, with a good narrator.
