TEEN KILLERS CLUB

Lily Sparks

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. Lily Sparks grew up hiking, writing, and counseling summer camp in Norwalk, Connecticut. She went to UCLA for an art degree and ended up spending all her time writing. She's developed TV projects for MTV, FX, and Amazon and written for the CW's Reign and Paramount's Heathers. She now lives in Southern California with her husband Ryan, baby daughter Lovey Jane, and terrier Wolsey.

A page-turner with a disturbingly unusual premise, snappy dialogue, and characters that go deeper than their heinous crimes... Equal parts heartfelt and shocking.

Everything one could possibly want in a YA: psychotic killers, tender moments, and friendships that will last forever.

This rivals Jennifer Lynn Barnes's The Naturals series and Allen Zadoff's The Unknown Assassin series...Fabulous romance, fabulous cast, fabulous mystery.

This summer camp for psychos is frankly the only kind of summer camp I want to read about.

Balanced, entertaining while exposing our society's treatment of teenage criminals well.

Sparks creates a contemporary dystopian world and deftly weaves in details about her characters' pasts.

Highly addictive and uncomfortably heartfelt - readers won't be able to forget the characters who refuse to fit into any mold.

A fast-paced, suspenseful novel, perfect for true-crime fans.

Full of dark and twisted moments... highly addictive and full-on entertaining.
