Karen McManus – You’ll Be The Death Of Me.

A gripping YA thriller from an author whose work I love. I was so lucky to be invited on this books journey, and I must thank The Write Reads for inviting me and Penguin for the copy of the book. First is the synopsis.

Karen McManus

From the author of One of Us Is Lying comes a brand new addictive thriller.

Ivy, Mateo and Cal used to be close – best friends back in middle school.

Now all they have in common is a bad day. So for old time’s sake they skip school together – one last time.

But when the trio spot Brian ‘Boney’ Mahoney ditching class too, they follow him – right into a murder scene.

They all have a connection to the victim. And they’re ALL hiding something.

When their day of freedom turns deadly, it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out . . .

It’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with murder, perfect for fans of One Of Us Is Lying and A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. This explosive new thriller is impossible to put down.

I am a recent fan of Karen Mcmanus. I don’t even know what took me so long to discover her. The minute I got my hands on this, I just had to begin reading!

Such a fast-paced thriller with plenty of twists you don’t expect, but I find that with anything I read from Karen McManus. You’ll Be The Death Of Me is such a gripping read, with all the twists and even moments that you really don’t expect.

I found the three main characters likeable and very real, with the author so cleverly making them so fleshed out. I thought the group dynamic intriguing as the secrets, along with the story, developed. I changed my mind so many times, thinking about what was happening in the story and, as always…my theories were proved wrong!

All in all, an addictive read, which had me turning the pages so fast. The chapters are short, too, so this really makes it an immersive read as you just keep reading and reading until, before you know it, you are finished. This left me wanting to read it again! If you love YA thrillers that grab you immediately, try this.
