Blog Tour | You’ll Be The Death Of Me

Hello, welcome back to my blog! Today I am super excited to be a part of the You’ll Be The Death of Me blog tour, hosted by The Write Reads and Penguin! I love Karen M McManus’ YA thrillers, so I was super excited to get to read her newest book!

Title: You’ll Be The Death of Me

Author: Karen M McManus

Published: 30th November 2021

Publisher: Penguin

Genre: YA, Thriller, Mystery

Rating: 4/5 stars

From the author of One of Us Is Lying comes a brand new addictive thriller.

Ivy, Mateo and Cal used to be close – best friends back in middle school.

Now all they have in common is a bad day. So for old time’s sake they skip school together – one last time.

But when the trio spot Brian ‘Boney’ Mahoney ditching class too, they follow him – right into a murder scene.

They all have a connection to the victim. And they’re ALL hiding something.

When their day of freedom turns deadly, it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out . . .

It’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with murder, perfect for fans of One Of Us Is Lying and A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. This explosive new thriller is impossible to put down.

I was super excited to get accepted for this blog tour, as I really love McManus’ thrillers, they always keep me on my toes! I am very glad to share that this one did not disappoint!

In this new thriller, we follow Ivy, Mateo and Cal, three teens who used to be best friends but have drifted apart. They make a spur of the moment to ditch class together, and what follows could be described as the ‘worst day ever!’ They come across a murder scene involving one of their classmates, and suddenly find themselves caught in a web of lies and accusations.

This book is awesome! I was struggling to pick up books earlier in November, nothing was really capturing my attention and holding it for any length of time. You’ll Be The Death of Me was the perfect antidote! This book is pacy and twisty and I honestly couldn’t put it down. From the first page until the last this novel is non-stop!

The three main characters are relatable and excellent teen protagonists as usual. McManus’ teen characters are some of my faves because of this relatability. Her teens have distinct voices, all well developed and feel real when you read them.

You’ll Be The Death of Me is a real page turner. I couldn’t put it down and I didn’t see some of the twists coming! I highly recommend it to lovers of YA thrillers, it won’t disappoint!

Thank you to The Write Reads and Penguin for having me on this blog tour!
