Publisher's summary

Boarding school has never been more dangerous.

What if your roommate is a murderer? Or what if he's being framed and only you can save him?

Luke Chase made history as a child when he escaped a kidnapping. Now, all he wants is to be a normal teenager. So when he sneaks out to the woods one night to drink with friends and flirt with the new British girl at school, he's excited to feel some freedom.

Except the next morning, one of their teachers is found murdered—in the exact same spot where they had been partying. Soon, Luke's roommate and best friend Oscar is the #1 suspect.

As the evidence and list of suspects builds, Luke attempts to use his famous survival skills to find the killer and clear Oscar's name. But as Luke gets closer to the truth, the killer is getting closer to Luke.

my opinion

I really loved this book. This book actually caught my attention since I'm not really into books. I really like hearing about crime stories, and the suspense was pretty predictable. Though it's not a bad thing. I had a gut feeling I knew who was the murderer at the end as it was hinted by the way he was acting like everything was coming to a close. 5/5 stars for me.

Is this a YA book?

Ignore me if this is actually a YA book and I didn’t realize, but this is the most juvenile ridiculous story I have listened to in a long time. The characters talk like they are in some kind of afterschool special, the back stories of the characters are utterly ridiculous, and it is so far-fetched that a single high school student is running around, trying to solve a murder of a faculty member… I could go on and on…

The performance by the narrator is even worse, though. Half the time the characters sound like they are Simpsons characters with ridiculous accents and intonations and voice inflections, and the other half of the time the narrator sounds like he is warbling dentures around in his mouth. It got so bad that I was literally just fast forwarding every 30 seconds for the last 45 minutes…
Worst waste of a credit.

Meh

Parts of it are OK but it feels pretty contrived. It feels like it wants to be a scary movie for teens but doesn’t actually get too dark. All the characters felt like cardboard cut outs not real people.
