Week 37 Review: Teen Killers Club

From Goodreads:
Framed for the murder of her best friend, a young girl joins a super-secret society of teenage assassins to avoid a lifetime behind bars--and discovers her own true self--in this mesmerizing debut novel.

Seventeen-year-old Signal Deere has raised eyebrows for years as an unhappy Goth misfit from the trailer park. When she's convicted of her best friend Rose's brutal murder, she's designated a Class A--the most dangerous and manipulative criminal profile. To avoid prison, Signal signs on for a secret program for 18-and-under Class As and is whisked off to an abandoned sleep-away camp, where she and seven bunkmates will train as assassins. Yet even in the Teen Killers Club, Signal doesn't fit in. She's squeamish around blood. She's kind and empathetic. And her optimistic attitude is threatening to turn a group of ragtag maniacs into a team of close-knit friends. Maybe that's because Signal's not really a killer. She was framed for Rose's murder and only joined the program to escape, track down Rose's real killer, and clear her name. But Signal never planned on the sinister technologies that keep the campers confined. She never planned on the mysterious man in the woods determined to pick them off one by one. And she certainly never planned on falling in love. Signal's strategy is coming apart at the seams as the true killer prepares to strike again in Teen Killers Club. 

My Review:
This book was really fantastic to read! I loved this whole concept, of a group of teens being brought together because they have the choice of staying in prison for the rest of their lives-or work for a secret program to be an assassin. Yeah. But adding in the fact that Signal is innocent? It's kinda like she got thrown into a pack of wolves. 

Even though this book is about teenagers learning to kill, well, they're still teens, and romance does bloom. But given that there's less than 10 kids, well, conflicts arose from the lack of choices, but also, they're there because they're killers. Violence it a must. So that was fun times and fun reading! 

The first half of this book is the training. I loved her interactions with the other characters, the trainers were just so cheerful for training teenagers to kill. And the teens, well, it was interesting to watch them interact, and how they reacted to Signal.

The second half was part mission, part investigation into Signal's case, of what really happened that night. And there were a lot of reveals, and honestly, I would really love to have a 2nd book, because the way this book ended, well, I need a 2nd one! I need to see where it goes from here, with what we learned.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a really great read, and I really hope we get a 2nd book!
