I have had my eye on this book for quite some time and it definitely delivers. What stood out the most for me was the narrator. All the characters, and there were quite a few all sounded so different. I could hear the emotions in all the dialogue and felt the narration was top notch. The story was good and I remained interested in the storyline. Gotta admit Signal gets a bit annoying and seems almost helpless but I really liked all the rest of the characters. My favorite was Nobody. Overall, a solid story that came alive with that amazing narrator! Would definitely recommend others check it out. 4 stars.

We start off with Signal and Erik on their way to Signal’s hometown because they are trying to invalidate the Wylie-Stanton, which is the tests people on how “evil” they are. Pretty soon, Nobody shows up and tells them that the other people in the “Teen Killers Club” have been given them a mission to kill her, Signal, and Erik. We follow the trio to Signals hometown. There is also the background of Erik and Signal trying to get each other to say “I love you”.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I didn’t know at first that it was the second installment of a series, so I checked out “Teen Killers Club” from the library. I read that in one night. CAPTIVATED. Started the second one the next day, finished it in two sittings. OBSESSED. Lily Sparks twists and turns my emotions with every page. Who can we trust? Lily Sparks to put out an amazing book. Now, the narrator, Jesse Vilinsky, was a true gem to listen to. There was such a distinct difference between all the voices. The narration of the narrative parts were just as captivating because of them.

<i>Thank you to Lily Sparks, Jesse Vilinsky, and Dreamscape Media for the Audio ARC in exchange for an honest review through NetGalley.<i>

when teen killers club dropped two years ago, i was OBSESSED. it was a whirlwind of a novel that felt witty and dark and somehow poignant, too - with an endearingly violent (violently endearing?) motley crew cast at its core, book 1 of this series seriously captured my heart. it also ended on a cliffhanger, and i was dying, pun intended, to read the sequel.

unfortunately, teen killers in love just didn't hit the same for me as did its predecessor. where book 1 felt novel and fresh and pee-my-pants funny, book 2 fell a little flat in its reliance on the romance between signal and erik. (although, with a title like teen killers in love, should i have expected otherwise?? maybe that's on me...)

in book 1, i was gripped by signal's plight (who framed her for the murder of her best friend? how will she possibly survive teenaged assassin camp when she's a vegetarian, faints-at-blood softie?) - in book 2, i felt lacklustre about signal and erik's mission, especially the part where erik feels he has to prove signal isn't a class A so that he can somehow redeem himself. teen killers in love felt, to me, slower paced, more repetitive, and less engaging than teen killers club.

moreover, this audiobook was well-produced and i liked listening to the narrator's voice!

all this being said, i'm definitely going to read more of lily sparks' works. a brain who can come up with the likes of teen killers club has my eternal interest.




thank you netgalley and dreamscape media for an advance copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

✨ Signal is accused of killing her best friend. But then she is sent for a camp to train as an assassin.

💥I highly recommend reading these 2 books together if you haven't already. The story of how these teens are trained and then go on missions are exciting. Plus there is the added mystery of Signal and whether or not she killed her best friend. And then there is a love triangle. SO MUCH HAPPENING! But it was such a good time and I definitely think if you like fast paced YA thrillers, this is for you.

My face at the end: 🤪

🍪 I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to @netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for allowing me to read this ahead of publication.

4.25 rounded down. Not as good as the first, but still plenty of reveals to keep interest very much alive. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an AudioARC in exchange for an honest review.

Signal and Eric are back in this sequel to Teen Killers Club. After removing their kill switches Signal and Eric are on the run, trying to avoid fellow TKC campers and clear Signal's name. When Eric's past is further revealed, what new obstacles will it present for these teens? Can they avoid other Class A's, especially these new campers who seem to have inhuman strength?

Teen Killers Club was a fantastic read. Signal could be seen as whiny to some, but I really sympathize with all she went through in book one. Book two doesn't really see as much growth for Signal in regards to Eric and their unspoken feelings. She does seem to have much more of a backbone now and is willing to even blur some lines in order to clear her name. What I truly missed was the relationship Signal has with all the other campers. They are what made TKC so much fun and endearing....even if they are killers. The ending gives us a cliffhanger which I hope we get to explore more in a third installment, and a hope that Eric can be redeemed.

Overall, a fun ride with Signal and the crew(mostly Eric) presenting new plot twists and problems for the future. 4.25 stars rounded down to 4. Recommended for readers 12+ who enjoyed Teen Killers Club.

Sometimes the narrators voices grated my nerves when she changed pitches but she told a great story. I think the first one had better twists and like oh my goodness moments. The first one also felt more action packed; this one took a while until really about 60% to really get interesting. I think I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars I gave the first one 4 stars.

Thank you, Netgalley, for the ARC!

This. Cover. This. Title.

This was a sequel I forgot I was waiting for and am already excited based on those two mentioned facts alone. I vaguely remember the first book since it’s been a long time since I read it, but I felt like this book gave me enough information not to be left completely confused.

It was thrilling to follow Signal, Eric, and Nobody on their adventure. I got to know them more in this book and was rooting for all of them regardless of their Class A status and immoral choices. (And the entire Found Family as the book progressed). It was an interesting dynamic to see whether Eric and Signal were Class A’s or not, especially with their pasts and unclear details they’re trying to solve.

There were times when I preferred the others more than Signal, but I liked her more here than in the first book. It was interesting to see them all in the real world and the romanticization of true crime when they’re the subjects at hand, while trying to take down Camp and the people behind it while ALSO clearing Signal’s name.

I will say that this book had some filler moments and the will-they-won’t-they between Eric and Signal was pretty repetitive, but this was a solid sequel. I also love Nobody so much. She was one of the best parts of this book.

Also, me being a Single Repeater does not make me a Class A … hopefully. (I loved how the concept of it was used at the end. iykyk).

And if there will be a third book, which there should be, I want it.

TLDR: A solid continuation of the story that is a bit slow to start, but finishes very strong!

Teen Killers in Love picks up right where the first book left off, with characters on the run. I think because of that, it takes a little while to find its footing. About the first third of the book feels more like a random road trip (not my personal favorite thing in books) without a clear purpose or direction. (Aside from trying not to get caught of course.) The first section isn't bad, and has some great creepy moments (haunted house!) and plenty of relationship drama, it's just less engaging than what I found the first book to be.

That said, things definitely pick up later on with excellent twists and bringing back more of the characters! I think this is really at its best with the group dynamics, which is saying something because not everyone can write so many distinct, entertaining characters with interesting interactions. The last two-thirds of the book I was having a great time, and definitely want to see what happens in book 3! I think the first part of the book could have been condensed for better pacing, but I also see why some of the plot beats there were necessary.

A lot of this book is focused on Eric and his past. (content warning for psychological and medical abuse) The central question: is he really a psychopath or is he just a traumatized kid? Can he experience love or is he just out to get what he wants and use people? That drives a lot of the story, and I found it to be compelling. But if you get annoyed at relationship drama, misunderstandings, and love triangles this may not be the book for you. Overall, I thought this was a solid installment in the series and a good second book from a debut author. I look forward to reading more! I received a copy of this book for review, all opinions are my own.

Teen Killers in Love was perfection! I loved the first book in the series as an audiobook which made me nervous about this one. Would it live it up to the hype? It did!!! This was a listen in a day sort of book.

It's a modern day Bonnie and Clyde with a true crime twist. I loved seeing my favorite characters again this time on the run and trying to clear Signal's name.

Did not realize this was a sequel. 🙄 Sorry, but will leave a.l better review when I can read both books.
