Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

Really good book that starts off quick and keeps my attention until about 60% in. The book seemed to slow down and lose my attention. I will definitely try another book by this author!

Thanks to NetGalley and the Author/Publisher.

Not my normal cup of tea but this book was decent. A must read is your into historical thrillers

“Kill Abby White! Now!” Is a historical thriller that follows the adventures of a group of Chicago journalism students who start out on the run due to their witness of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre from Al Capone’s gangsters and end up as spies and counterspies in Hitler’s Germany during the years leading up to the Second World War.

The author did a great job with the characters and the plot line. Even thought this was fast paced i was intrigued till the end.

I give this book a 3 star only because this is not my type of genre for me to fully enjoy or love this book, but i would not second guess buying/ reading this is you love historical pieces.

This book is a fascinating read. I got totally caught up in Abby's world. There is a lot of historical detail and that added to the story. I would have liked more information and background on the main characters. Overall this book is a really good fast paced read that I was sorry to get to the end of.

“Kill Abby White! Now!” Is a well-crafted historical espionage thriller that traces the adventures of a group of Chicago journalism students who start out on the run from Al Capone’s gangsters and end up as spies and counterspies in Hitler’s Germany during the years leading up to the Second World War. It is capped by an intriguing title and terrific compelling cover artwork.

Historical thrillers focusing on the Second World War seem to be appearing with increasing frequency and each perhaps has its own unique niche. This one I think would prove quite appealing to a young adult audience given the relative youthfulness of the main characters, particularly Abby White, ace reporter and super secret spy. The historical aspects were not completely successful and there was a certain oddness to Hitler’s attempts to romance the young American reporter.

Overall, a decent read, but not quite what I was expecting.

This could be a really good bookshop. But the characters need fleshing out and a little bit of backstory at the beginning would help immensely. I believe this is a writer to watch for in the future, but just not there yet.
