Welcome to Litsy!

I just finished reading this. I really like pretending to be a detective and the separate points of view. I called it at the beginning but I questioned myself as soon as we were told about their motives. I can't wait to read the next one!

I don't know why I “so-so“ 'd this book, but... I decided to start the Peacock TV series as a good distraction while I try to recuperate from COVID. I feel better, then worse, then better. It's rather frustrating.

Loved this.

Switching between Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, and Cooper, Karen McManus entangles the reader though empathy achieved by subtle use of disadvantage, context, and vulnerability.

This was a great YA mystery/thriller. If you aren't a fan of YA books though you probably won't to avoid this one.

I listened to the audiobook, and the cast of narrators did am excellent job. The action starts early on and the author keeps you guessing throughout. I might have to try the TV show now.

#ScarathlonDailyPrompts #Day24 #Lies The first in the authors High School crime series, and probably the best of them. During after school detention, the creator of a gossip website dies of an apparent allergic reaction. But after his death is classed as murder, every person in that detention room is a suspect. Who is lying & who is telling the truth? #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 6pts

This book keeps you on your toes wonder should could of actually done it. Constantly worrying is the author is tricking you or if you finally figured it out. I can‘t wait to read the sequel!

Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars. What's not to love!? The 4 main characters were in the wrong place at the wrong time and now are the main suspects in a murder! We spend the entire book trying to figure out who did it!? As we try to figure out who the killer is, dirty little secrets start to pour out. No one leaves unscathed.

You know you love me 😘

Really loved it… somewhat easy to pick, I never know if that‘s In hindsight… will watch the series and buy the other books even!

Goal is to finish these by the end of the year

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Four high school students are accused of murder when one of their classmates dies under suspicious circumstances. The Breakfast Club meets Riverdale.

Juvenile ✨ Gossip ✨ Cliche

Slow to get into and for me to like the characters, but it became more of a page turner as the book went on. Glad I kept going and looking forward to seeing the TV series now.

I accidentally found out part of who did it (not tryna spoil it but yk). For me, it wasn't impossible to put down, but there again I have never had the experience of that. This is definitely up there as one of my favorite books and I give it a 4.5 although I do recommend it more than any other book I've read. Even being spoiled, Karen M. Mcmanus made it still so fun to read for me. Overall 4.5 stars and definetly recommend!!

unique...
i listened to the audiobook while driving on a road trip,
definitely did not get bored

7/10
This was a very quick and easy read for me, which I enjoyed! The plot was thick and the build up of secrets for the characters was intriguing throughout. This made it easy to connect to the Bayview Four and really sympathize with their stories. I can‘t say I was unbelievably shocked by the outcome, with the exception of one characters role, but enjoyed it nonetheless. I have yet to watch the show but might give it a try to compare the two!

Ive been in such a reading slump but slowly getting back by reading this book. Thank you for all the activity

Hands down one of the best books I‘ve read so far! The plot? Brilliant! The characters? Fantastic!
It was like I was watching pretty little liars in my head. I‘m a sucker for murder mysteries and this had me on edge at every single page.
I highly recommend it!

Rating: 4/5

This YA gets right to the action in chapter 1, and I was hooked and stayed up until 2am to finish it. (Something I haven‘t done with a book in over a year). There was a clue that revealed the twist only about halfway through the book. I was hoping it was a red herring and would change course and completely surprise me, but that wasn‘t the case. Despite predicting the end, I still was excited for the journey and how it all tied together. 4/5 ⭐️

Love the GG vibes.

Five students walk into detention and only four walk out alive, making them the obvious suspects. And since all of them had secrets they didn't want exposed, the police see motive for any of them to be involved. I enjoyed this quick, pulpy whodunnit. And the twist was a good one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I decided that this would be my first read, just to ease me back into the hobby. It looked lighthearted, interesting, and funny in a dark kind of way.

And I think it delivered. The reveal was kind of a letdown, but otherwise I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. Addy reminds me of Cassie from Euphoria, haha!

love you Kris btw ur so smart

best book I have ever read and the twist at the end is just super wowowowo

This was an amazing book, it took me a while to pick it up but I couldn‘t put it down! So many twists and turns it was definitely a top contender for 5 stars but it dragged just a teeney bit in some spots

'She‘s the princess and you‘re a jock,‘ he says. He thrusts his chin toward Bronwyn, then at Nate. ‘And you‘re a brain. And you‘re a criminal. You‘re all walking teen-movie stereotypes.

So can't wait for this to come on Netflix 🤗

Worth the hype! It‘s an easy read, I couldn‘t put it down and finished it in less than a day!
Breakfast-club-esque murder mystery, with a whole lot of drama and twists. I hope the sequels live up to the first book.

Kind of excited right now!!! Anyone else watch this yet?

PS: Ignore the mess on the floor. First I relax, then I clean the toddler toys 🤣🤣

I'm 107 pages in (Chapter 10) and this book is giving 'The Breakfast Club' meets 'Gossip Girl' at a murder mystery dinner kinda vibes... in the best way possible! 🤌😘

In this unpredictable murder mystery novel, we follow the story of 4 young high school students and their involvement of the murder of a classmate, Simon Kellehar. They were all in detention one day when Simon mysteriously dropped dead. We learn of their involvments, if any, and discover many troubling things about each person, they all have their own secrets.

#BeginsWith #One This is such a great book! It's one of the books that's always checked out from my classroom library!

It is a good book that got me into reading again. 4 out of 5 stars.

First one for 2022!
Solid little YA/high school whodunnit, even had a couple gasp worthy moments 👀

I liked the different pov style of writing but it was honestly a little disappointing given the buildup. Better than the second book and worth a read🙂

Book 136 & 137🎧
Needed to throw a little thriller in there😂 I enjoyed this one and look forward to the rest of the series! Some good twists👏🏻
Where Snow Angels Go - Super duper cute! And a fantastic narrator👌🏼🎄
How to Catch an Elf - Another quick adorable Christmas story!

A small group of students attending Bayview high school are in detention. 4 of the students witness their peer have a severe allergic reaction, even though the last thing he consumed was water. He had to go the hospital where he died. Later it‘s found out that there‘s more to his death then it seemed, and that all the students in detention had reason for wanting him dead.

Agatha Christie meets the breakfast club. It almost feels written fir TV, but not in a shallow way.

I had heard of this book before but I don‘t usually read YA novels. When I found out they made a show on Peacock based off of the book I had to read it because I won‘t watch the show without reading the book first! I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next and also other books by the author! I also look forward to watching the show! 4🌟!

🎬 Watching the adaptation of Karen McManus' YA murder mystery - combining elements from the book while adding new things to the plot these TV series looks promising 🙂

Guess what? One of them was lying!

A really well written mystery book that managed to skirt around cliches without falling into them. It kept me interested the entire way through and I was actually invested in what happened to the characters.

I loved book 1, liked book 2 so I thought I would give the new Peacock show a chance. It's interesting. That is about all I can say. It does not have the mystery and intrique of the book. But that may be because I know the killer already. You can watch the first 3 episodes for free. And while I did like them, I didn't like them enough to pay for peacock to watch the rest.

This book was way better than it's series adaption. The characters are well constructed, the plot, the dialogue. wow! I couldn't put the book down. This book tormented me (in a good way) to finish it. The character development in the book felt natural. Their development didn't feel forced or rushed in the book like on the series. My favorite character was Addy I love seeing her growth and change in personality.

Just watched the last five episodes of this on Stan. Gotta say, wasn‘t a fan of the ending at all, it‘s more like Pretty Little Liars or I Know What You Did Last Summer. I did grow to like the actors though, they did a pretty good job all up. 26pts #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon2021
