I’ve been eyeing this one for awhile and almost read it as an e-book but the audiobook was totally amazing, especially because it is a full cast!

The book is told from multiple point-of-views. They mostly come from J.B., Ramón, and Trey because they are the suspects. Some of the chapters are leading up the event and then what happened after. There are also interviews with students, faculty, and the police. It was very well done and I felt like I was a part of the investigation as well as it feeling like a movie! I really do think this was because of the audiobook.

The three main characters have their own issues they have been dealing with and the principal doesn’t help. He was seriously such a dillweed. Each character also deals with racism and prejudice. It really connects to our own world and what has been going on in the United States.

I would say that the book is more plot driven than character and I was okay with that. The mystery grabbed my attention and it was hard to stop listening to. I kept second guessing who I thought it was and never figured it out! I liked that at the end we got a small epilogue to tell us where J.B., Ramón, and Trey ended up after it all went down.

Overall, this was a great book! I loved the full cast and the sound effects. It is definitely worth the read, especially if you like YA Mystery / Thrillers.
