Reviews with content warning for Murder - Virée mortelle

i’m sad that i read other people’s reviews before writing mine because i actually enjoyed this one, i loved the characters, the twists the plot took and i also liked the ending a lot.
i’m just not sure how i feel about the romantic aspects of the story but they are all in high school so it was to be expected to play this big of a role

If you’ve read other books by Karen M McManus or Holly Jackson then you’ve basically read this also. It’s a quick read about a Type A high schooler attempting to solve a crime- which she is accused of committing- with two friends, with a smidge of light romance (despite having almost no chemistry). It could easily be a cut plot line from Riverdale but it’s a quick read and fast paced enough that you won’t stop to think about how a lot of it makes no sense until you’ve finished it.

I enjoyed reading this book and enjoyed the main characters. However, the end didn’t hold as big of a punch as the beginning for me. I felt a little disconnected from the momentum I felt when I started the book. Despite this, I know I will read the next book if there is one—But mostly for the enjoyment of the character development.
