Find The Killer: Mystery Month Pt. 5

 Sometimes scary things happen to people, and sometimes we are to blame. There was something we could have done, or shouldn't have done that would have altered what really happened. In the next book, a normal high school student, gets involved with a gang war and a plot by the school thug. He is forced to do something terrible and bad things happen because of what he does and doesn't do. The book is Anthony McGowen's The Knife That Killed Me.

Paul Vanderman could be at any normal high school where bullies, girls, and annoying teachers are just part of life. But “normal” doesn’t apply when it comes to the school’s biggest bully, Roth. Roth is completely twisted in the head, and he expects things to go his way. he also has a plan for something really bad, and he expects Paul to help him with it.   

When Paul ends up delivering a message from Roth to the leader of a gang at a nearby school, it fuels a rivalry with immediate consequences. Paul attempts to distance himself from the feud, but somehow Roth keeps finding reasons for him to stick around. Then one day Roth hands him a knife. Paul is scared, but it feels so good in his hands, and he feels more powerful than ever before.

RED'S ALL STAR REVEIW: 3 out of 5. Good, but scary creepy at times.

MASS APPEAL: A good thriller, but somewhat disturbing about what goes on in the characters' heads. Read it for a thrill.
