#murdertrending by Gretchen McNeil
5.0

I have NO idea how to review this book.

So this was a group read for the TBR & Beyond Book Club in September. I was aware of it before but I don't know that I would've read it otherwise and oh my God! I would have missed out!

This is a hella unique read in the YA field. Someone in this book refers to the cast as Death Row Breakfast Club which is so freaking accurate! The idea of being stuck in this setting makes me appreciate the current world in 2019 (think about that for a second). I could FEEL my anxiety spiking. Having to booby trap your home knowing you have pretty high odds of being kidnapped and murdered

The biggest of hell nos!

The cast were all cool and there were just so many freaking twists and turns especially since you don't really know how many people you have to be on the look out for! I can actually feel my anxiety going up just typing this review. The concept was just so unique for a book and it really delivered. I have been so desperately searching for a different book. I am reading the same fantasies over and over again. At first, I was so confused as to how there was a sequel to this...but then I read the summary for [b:#Murderfunding|40275151|#Murderfunding (MurderTrending, #2)|Gretchen McNeil|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1536324102l/40275151._SY75_.jpg|62557476] and I am freaking out excited! The background of the killers is continuously brought up to be this big mystery and then there's Mara being like "oh I know who they are" and then everything that goes down at the end...

For reals: read this book.

Rep: one of the male Death Row Breakfast Club is gay
