If you loved American Horror Story 1984, you'll die for this paperback original thriller mashup of Agatha Christie's The A.B.C. Murders and Riverdale in which a game turns deadly with a killer who picks his victims one by one, letter by letter.
Every year the senior class at Lincoln High plays assassin. Lia Prince has been planning her strategy for years and she's psyched that not only does she finally get to play, she's on a team with Devon Diaz. But this year, the game isn't any fun--it's real. Abby Ascher, Ben Barnard, and Cassidy Clarke have all turned up . . . dead. Can Lia stop the ABC killer before he reaches D?
“I am ready to kill or be killed.”
THE GAME by Linsey Miller is such a great book (out Tuesday!!!), and this is an amazing first line!

I don’t think so? But I must admit that is based solely on my google search I just did, so take that with a grain of salt.

Chapter 2
September. Helmed Province, Afghanistan
Sarah Denning sat on the dirt floor of the Afghani prison cell and shivered in the hinety-degree heat, fighting the fear that had been her constant companion since the Taliban had attacked the school yesterday.
Well that’s certainly attention grabbing! Happy reading! 🙂

I’m currently reading The London Restoration by Rachel McMillan. I’m just beginning chapter 10, so I’ll share from there:
“The only other time Diana had been at Brent’s flat -her flat- in Clerkenwell alone was when she was packing her suitcase to leave for Buckinghamshire.”
I hope you have a great weekend! 😀❤📚
Thank you, I hope that you have a great weekend as well! That sounds like a good book, I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
