Senior Year Murders: A YA murder mystery

by Luke Christodoulou

An instant hit from the twisty mind behind Pandora's Box and the Greek Island Mysteries series!

In this riveting YA mystery, follow the gripping journey of seventeen-year-old Calypso, a smart, book-loving, (kind of an) introvert girl who is uprooted from her familiar life in Los Angeles and forced to move to Athens, Greece. As if the challenges of a new school and a foreign culture were not enough, Calypso finds herself in the midst of a series of chilling murders that rock the school community. Haunted and terrified by the events unfolding around her, she hopes that Joshua, the sweet boy from the library, is not responsible. Calypso with the help of new friends must realize that she is the only one that can stop the killer before it is too late. Before another classmate of hers ends up dead.

‘Tautly plotted and filled with twists and turns’, SENIOR YEAR MURDERS is a compelling tale of suspense, intrigue, and dark secrets ‘that will keep readers on the edge of their seat until the shocking conclusion’. ‘A must-read for fans of young adult thrillers and lovers of suspense’, this novel will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about trust, betrayal, love, and the darkness that can lurk within us all!

2,75. So many grammatical errors made it really hard to focus on the story :((

i rated this three stars to be generous. The plot twist was thrilling and so was the ending. the reason i said i was being generous with rating it three stars was because there was so many spelling errors. Was this book even edited? EX: 'ne' instead of 'be' at one point. Cally was saying 'am i just an open book to you?' luke wrote it as 'I'm I just an open book to you?'. LIKE. SIR. anyways i wouldnt say i reccomend this book, but if you are looking for a good skin crawling murder novel, i recommend 'The Naturals' by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. BAIII

I really did NOT like this novel. I don't remember much apart from the main plot, but I really disliked the majority of the characters. The side characters were pretty flat with little substance to them. I was not expecting the twist until we first heard the story about whatever the dad's real name is. The book was not really worth reading, though.

Good book

Wonderful murder mystery. Twists and turns every page, like a murder filled roller coaster. A romance that's sweet, a family that's even sweeter, and a deep, dark secret. Would definitely recommend.

good story

A good story, really gripping. However, there are a lot grammatical mistakes which made it difficult to read at times and there is a big mistake with a name being used for the wrong person
