A Girl Called Murder
“They called us a murder, as in crows.”
Tannyn Carter has always had a thing for nightmares.
Other people's nightmares, that is. She can smell them on people's skin, taste them on her tongue. Lightning, the sight of blood, fire, darkness. She's been surrounded by nightmares her entire life. But nothing could have prepared her for the day her best friend, Eve, turned up dead in an oak tree with her heart carved from her chest.
Tannyn's friends, known throughout town as the crows, decide to take matters into their own hands. Investigating into Eve's death attracts the attention of the killer, who begins leaving them sinister messages, taunting them.
In the midst of her friend's absence, Tannyn begins spending more and more time with Eve's twin brother, Theodore. She finds herself drawn to him in the same way she was drawn to Eve—but it is a dangerous and alarming attraction. She trusts Theodore with her life, but she isn't sure if she should.
Theodore's fears are like broken glass between her teeth. He's afraid of thunderstorms—and of someone finding out his secret.
As Tannyn navigates a world of heartbreak and dead crows and boys with razor-sharp fears, she must face the worst nightmare of all: her own. If it doesn't kill her first.
From the author of How to Kiss a Flower Girl (and Live) comes another strange and hauntingly beautiful story that blurs the boundaries between fantasy and reality.

I started this book on my kindle app after a friend recommended it to me, then didn't get back to it for over a year. I bought the paperback and OH MY GOSH I think I need to sit down. I can already feel that this is a book I'll be rereading.
This is a dark and gritty and magical and tense. Kennedy Cannon doesn't hold back with her characters or her plot twists. I want to highlight this next time I read it because the writing was so...thoughtful.
There's a lot to be warned about in this book. Trigger warnings would include violence, death, language...I would recommend this for older teens and adults.

I wish I wouldn’t have stopped randomly highlighting things. There was just so many enjoyable lines.
Have you ever read a book and just thought that the author would be a fabulous poet? Because neither had I until I read this book.
I did dock half a star bc the way the chapters changed with the characters and the first person to third person pov idk I didn’t care for that. However, that is most likely personal preference bc I am extremely picky and will literally only read first person pov books.

Cinematic, unexpected, and memorable. Tannyn is prickly but likeable, as are the rest of the crows. A good story.
I did have a few formatting quibbles - too much spacing, and a tendency for each line to be a new paragraph added sooo much page length. But this is usually a personal taste complaint from me, so no one needs to regard it too closely. I still loved the book!

Sharp and witty, intense and intoxicating, romantic and compelling. This novel deserves all the hype and praise, it’s speculative fiction at its finest. A brilliant and brash coming of age featuring a cast of perfectly distinct characters.
Perfect for fans of Melissa Albert and Krystal Sutherland.

MY THOUGHTS:
Story time! So, while I was on Twitter one night, I came across this author. She was doing a giveaway and as a joke (Because I am me), I asked her if I could read it before it came out. Which is in May. My birthday month. I seriously didn’t think she’ll say yes. Lol But SHE did! And you guys, I GOT TO READ MY FIRST ARC! Before it comes out!!! *swoons* I was in heaven. Though, I should yell at myself because it’s taken me this long to do a dang review. Life has been messy. So I hadn’t had time. But now I do and now I can yell at all of you to read THIS BOOK! Please, check it out on May 28th. Because it’s such a wonderful, good book. I couldn’t be happier that she let me read it. I feel so blessed. Thank you goddess. ^_^
GOOD POINTS:
There is so much to say about this book that I don’t really want to overwhelm all of you. So I’m going to try to not write such a long one, this time around. I’m trying okay? Lol. The characters were all wonderful. They were complex and they were human. So human that I felt for a while that it was like going outside and meeting someone new. I had to remind myself that I was reading a book. *laughs* They felt so alive across the pages. And the friendships between them all? Can I have a best friend like that? Because swoon my dead heart.
And while I am at it, the diversity in it was done so well that I never even thought they were. Like the tran’s boy, or the Mexican guy. They were hidden jams written throughout the book. That it blended in so well in the storyline. Sometimes you add diversity into your books because you want someone to feel special, and while I understand that; some writers don’t do it will. You can tell they just added them because its the thing to do but this author here didn’t. They were written in so well that I never even questioned it. I was just like “Oh, hello.” Back to reading. Lol
Each character was flawed in some way and had their own issues to deal with but none more so then Tannyn. She had a panic disorder. It felt like I was having one while reading it and I do get them in real life pretty often. So as you can tell, I was really impressed. Because not only is it hard to write about but it’s hard to show it. And how the character would really deal with it. And Tannyn had some issues but it didn’t kept it away from falling in love with her. I usually just wanted to give her a hug. Lol
The relationship between Tan and Theo? Can I just have them as a poster? Be still my heart. It was messy, and twisted (good way, not bad way) and unsure of themselves. But they cared for each other so damn well. And he understood her but still loved her the way she was. Never wanting to change it. But just held on when she wasn’t well. Even when he did mess up, she forgive him. And he didn’t just go “Ah, I am an asshole and you gotta forgive me anyway.” No, he apologized and it was really refreshing.
I just need funko pops of them now, okay? But free because mama is poor. Lol JK.
BAD POINTS:
I had a little bit of a hard time with wanting to write anything bad about this book. Mostly because she let me read it before it’s pub date. But then I just had to remind myself that it doesn’t mean it’s bad. Just means that it was something I found not so wonderful. Which isn’t a bad thing. It helps the authors learn. It helps them better themselves. (As long as the review is actually nice) cuz sometimes I read reviews and some ppl are really mean. Like wow. >.< That’s a lot. Doesn’t it need to be so mean? It’s okay to harsh but like no hate on the author. They are still ppl.
It isn’t written very eloquent or smooth. It’s written like a beginner. While her characters are done beautifully, I felt like the writing fell flat. (But I do gotta give it to her though, sometimes when the writing isn’t done well, sometimes it’s hard to stay with the book. But when you add wonderful characters, you don’t really care how the writing is done. Which, I’m happy about because usually I like both to be done well to keep me from just pushing the book away. Some books the writing is enough to keep me interested but sometimes it’s not enough even when you have awesome characters. Like The Black Brotherhood. I loved that series in the beginning, because the characters and the story line was good but then somewhere the story line fell apart and even though I loved the characters, I couldn’t stick it out.) It some places, the storyline was a little confusing.
Like, (no spoilers) how did the twins have these powers? How did Tan have these powers or nightmares and fears? There really was no say. Which I felt took away from the story but it wasn’t such a big deal for me. Just wished I knew.
I do wish that some of the characters had more pov then what they did. I really wanted to learn more about Jack and West. Were they a couple? Because if not, I ship them anyway. Lol
OVERALL:
Real life ppl, and real life monsters. What are your fears? And do you wish for someone to be able to tell you what you deeply fear? And while your at it, wanna join a gang? Because if you do, you’ll be a crow. And who doesn’t want to be one?

Read this at residential last year and had one of my caretakers let me borrow it to read after they found out i loved reading - this was their friends book and I honestly loved it! it was emotional but i remember loving it dearly.

As a reader, I've read some bizarre books, some incredible ones, some questionable ones, and there are different ones. I've never figured out what makes them different but I always identify the feeling. No matter the subject, no matter the genre or theme, the writing always instils an overall calm feeling as I read it. As someone who suffers with anxiety, sometimes books can trigger an anxious response relating to my own anxious points. There were some points touched on in this book yet the calming effect chased away that and left me with this stillness to read. That's what happened when I read just the first page of A GIRL CALLED MURDER, and I knew I was in for one of the best reads of 2019--and was not disappointed.
I feel like if VE Schwab and Maggie Stiefvater had a lovechild book, you would get this book. It had all the dark, questionable aspects I've previously loved in a VE Schwab book, and all the there-nessof a Stiefvater book. (In the sense of when something bizarre happens, it's just there, it's normal, no explanation needed.) Tannyn Carter can grasp and wield fears, creating nightmares for anyone who antagonises her. It's portrayed as a quality she just has and often accidentally uses. There's never a reason as to why or how she can do this; she just does, and I really liked that about the story. It's magical realism at it's best: normalising this girl with a weird and fascinating thing about her.
Tannyn is surrounded by her "murder of crows", her four best friends: Jack, West, Theodore, and Eve--until Eve is brutally murdered--the irony, of course, is not lost. Each of the "crows" has a nickname, or a distinguishable feature. Tannyn has her nightmares, Theodore can bring his sister Eve back to life time and time again, Eve has her blonde hair and fearsome nature, West is the ever-present boy who is always there, and Jack is has the biggest heart of them all. After Eve's death, the murder of crows are at a loss, going through one faint motion to the next, stumbling through different parties just to take their minds off the death.
(Spoiler part) Until Theodore confesses his secret, and, therefore, his sister, Eve's reappearance. Through her return, the crows try to find her murderer--which turns into an incredible plot twist you never see coming. (Well, I didn't.) (End of spoiler)
There are two things that jumped out at me in this book: LGBTQ+ representation, and discernible smells of characters. That's how Tannyn sees the world: through their fears, and often those fears came with smells: smoke, chardonnay, hospitals, sugar, thunder storms, whiskey. Often those thoughts came paired with some sort of visual, to add depth to the fear Tannyn could wield, if she chose. Along with smells came subtle representation; as in, it wasn't made a "big deal" like others like to do when they think they're presenting the LGBTQ+ Community with something. In A GIRL WITH MURDER, there were at least six characters (four in the main circle of protagonists, the other two in a cannon relationship) shown in general terms of identifying. West was mentioned as having a chest binder, which I took to mean he was transgender; I felt like Jack was hinted at being bisexual due to several scenes, as well as Tannyn and Eve; and then there was the actual cannon gay relationship between Tannyn's older brother and his boyfriend. There was no stigma; just people, as it should be.
The way Kennedy Cannon has wound her book into this intricate, dark story was clever. It was a read I thoroughly enjoyed, and would happily reread over and over, just to spot more tiny details. The symbolism was wonderful and the meanings behind that was fun to read. The group of five friends was a comforting dynamic to learn and read about, making me yearn for the ups and downs of the Raven Boys, and the romance plaited into the bigger story left me always wanting more. It was the sort of push-pull romance that had me wanting them to just get together, whilst loving the teasing nature of it not being official.
A GIRL WITH MURDER is dark, twisty, and a very intense story, and you all should basically read it.

My first read of the year didn't really gel with me. There were moments when I was hooked, and moments when I just wanted to get to the end 😅
It's a lovely concept and I'm a fan of anything dream/nightmare related so from that perspective, I loved it. I was shocked by the twist involving Eve, and immediately questioned what type of book I was reading - was there magic involved? I didn't do much (if any) research about this book before I bought or started reading, so I had no idea what I was in for!!
The bit with the maze and all the events that ensued around that was my favourite.
I liked the characters themselves, particularly Tannyn, Theodore and Eve. I felt sorry for Tannyn's mum, but she does start to fix that situation at the end. Loved the bone reading, giving a great dose of foreshadowing!
Overall, there were great ingredients here but something just wasn't working for me. Sadly this was a slow read for me (despite the short chapters which I'm a big fan of!!)
I recommend this for open-minded YA murder mystery lovers! Particularly those who remember their dreams/nightmares! And those who wish they worked in a bookshop that plays Icelandic folk music 😉 with a nearby shop that holds an eccentric grandmother behind a beaded curtain, desperate to read you! I know some of you will love it! ❤️

the only reason why it says i finished it in 2 days is because i started reading it at 11oclock at night and i couldn’t put the book down. I have read my entire life and have yet found a character i relate to or see a lot of myself in which is kinda scary considering what tan can do with nightmares, i find a lot of myself in her with her abilities and nightmares. I don’t dream i only have nightmares which is crazy to me that i relate to her so well. her spunk her abilities this is an amazing piece of literature and i’m going to find a way to get my hand on a physical copy to treasure forever. I love everything about this book start to and the chemistry and love between the characters is so pure and raw it’s rare to find that but it’s so genuine and clean it’s beautiful. this book definitely gets all of the stars and more. pls ignore my lack of capitalization i don’t like large letters.

Tannyn Carter is a young woman who 'has a thing for nightmares.' As a young girl realizing the extent of her powers, she attempted to use them for personal gain. Which led to an event leaving her mother hospitalized, and tannyn scarred for life. Between an unwell mother, and a non present father she must navigate the world alone. That is until she meets the captivating Evelyn shearwater. This is when things get really exciting * no spoilers*
The angst and emotions of each character make them all relatable to young adults. Their lilac hair and tattoos make them almost tangible. This book is a fresh, inventive, and welcome addition to the magical genre.

Unusual but quite intriguing
Really neat, unique story. Not much background on the characters, or world building, the story just drops you right in the deep end. No explanation on the gifts that any of the characters have, which is surprising, but just roll with it. It’s a weird but good little story. I enjoyed it. There are a few consistency and editing issues in the book but they were not so overwhelming that they detracted from the story itself.

I don't actually remember how I found this book, but it must've been fate that brought us together. Everyone who's NOT reading this book is doing themselves a HUGE disservice. This is so excellent. SO excellent. Kennedy Cannon is such an untapped talent here. SOMEBODY FORCE THIS BOOK DOWN THE THROAT OF TIKTOK. I NEED TO SEE IT TAKE OFF.

This was such an interesting read, one that I frequently fell asleep reading because it’s got such a way to pull you in. I would lean towards calling it a mystery style but I love a YA mystery theme in books. I also loved the ending, left room to either write a second or just leave it as a lone book and it would work beautifully either way.

At first I was a bit confused by this book, but the idea and story kept me reading and eventually I understood.
A very interesting and thought-provoking thriller. Quite sad too. I enjoyed it once I got my head around what was happening.

Overall good story with a great twist. I liked the short chapters which kept things moving but the end left me wanting more.

This was such a riveting story! A girl called murder kept me guessing and wanting to know more all the way up to the end. A great read overall.

This was a stunning work of art. I started reading it after dinner and stayed up until 1am to finish it.
Without spoiling too much, the main character, Tannyn, can sense the fears of other people. When one of her best friends, Eve, is murdered, Tannyn is nearly broken by the loss and finds herself keeping her other friends at a distance. Eve's brother, Theodore, keeps trying to put the pieces together of who murdered Eve and why. Everyone has their demons, and Tannyn is fighting desperately to keep her's in check.
While there were definitely some darker elements to this story than I normally read/enjoy, I loved how everything intricately wove together. By the time I only had a few chapters left, my mind was blown by how everything was suddenly making sense and resolving.
So, so good. Definitely give it a chance.
