Killing November by Adriana Mather
Content Warning: Murder, Violence
It’s a school completely off the grid, hidden by dense forest and surrounded by traps. There’s no electricity, no internet, and an eye-for-an-eye punishment system. Classes include everything from Knife-Throwing and Poisons to the Art of Deception and Historical Analysis. And all of the students are children of the world’s most elite strategists—training to become assassins, counselors, spies, and master impersonators.
Into this world walks November Adley, who quickly discovers that friends are few in a school where personal revelations are discouraged and competition is everything. When another student is murdered, all eyes turn to November, who must figure out exactly how she fits into the school’s bizarre strategy games before she is found guilty of the crime…or becomes the killer’s next victim. - GoodReads.com
Murder. Mystery. Forbidden Romance. Dark Academia. What more could you want? This, to me, is a lot like Game of Thrones meets The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina… a little world building and a lot of dark themes and we are all here for it. November is a clueless girl thrust into a world she thought she knew nothing about. Turns out her father has been training her for this exact moment her whole life. Suddenly the knife throwing exercises and life or death hide and seek games she played with her parents as a child, make a lot more sense.
I really enjoyed this book because it started off quickly and never lost it’s pace. It was full of action scenes and mysteries that had you looking behind every curtain. All in all it was a nice read and really got me pulled into the world. I’d definitely pick up the second one, “Hunting November”, if I got the chance.
