Teen Killers At Large

by Lily Sparks

Overview

The Teen Killers Club faces the end in the final installment of this “sick, twisted, fast-paced” (Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author) series.

With authorities revisiting her conviction for the brutal murder of her best friend, Signal Deere awaits her fate with the Class A killers she calls her closest friends. When the footage that proves her innocence is wiped, it’s clear someone she trusts is sabotaging her case—and Signal is headed back to jail if she can’t figure out who. Signal desperately needs help from someone as obsessed with the truth as he is with her: Erik.

But after the Bonnie-and-Clyde act that made them a viral sensation, Erik is a wanted man. Camp wants to kill him, the police want to put him away, and more than one fan wants to claim his black heart. All Erik wants is the freedom he’s never had. Can Signal convince the Teen Killers Club member with the highest body count to turn himself in and testify?

Being with Erik will put a target on her back but losing him just might kill her. As the Teen Killers Club faces its final trial, Signal discovers her options may be narrowing—to life behind bars or till death do us part.

From the Publisher

2023-08-11
Signal Deere’s efforts to prove her innocence and hook up with trained killer boyfriend Erik culminate in a welter of hot snogging and blood-spattered betrayal in this trilogy closer.

Sparks winches up the suspense, pitching Signal into a desperate tangle as she frantically searches for ways to meet her thrillingly dangerous squeeze in secret; find out who’s stealing the evidence that she wasn’t the one who strangled and decapitated her best friend, Rose; and, most importantly, expose the threat of Wylie-Stanton, a secret algorithm that purportedly rates teenaged brains for potentially homicidal tendencies. But on the way to an improbably happy ending—and despite the throat cutting, computer and other hacking, mysterious black drones, high-speed car chases, assassin training, and revelations of evil corporate scheming to “fix” minors deemed troubled or dangerous—readers will get to enjoy some good old-fashioned romance. Series fans will enjoy seeing continuing plotlines playing out to reasonably tidy resolutions, and lines like “I claw at him, and he meets, then escalates my intensity, ladders racing down my tights as his fingers dig at my hips,” will appeal to fans of steamy prose in general. The leads are cued white, but names point to some intended diversity in the supporting cast.

Throbs and bleeds. (Thriller. 15-adult)
