There' s a murderer on the loose in an elite boarding school. . . But who is going to be next? This Book Kills is the YA thriller of 2023, perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus. "I' ll make it clear from the start: I did not kill Hugh Henry Van Boren. I didn' t even help. Well, not intentionally. "When Hugh Henry Van Boren, one of the most popular and richest kids in Jess Choudhary' s school, is found dead, the student body is left reeling and wondering who the murderer could be. . . Jess, a student under strict instructions to keep her record clean or risk losing her scholarship, finds herself at the centre of the investigation when it' s revealed that Hugh died in the exact same way as a character in a short story she wrote. And then Jess receives an anonymous text thanking her for the inspiration. With time running out, Jess knows if she doesn' t solve this mystery she' ll finally have something in common with Hugh Henry. She' ll be dead too.
Sassy. Smart. And funny? What more could a girl want? * S. M. Wilson, author of The Extinction Trials * Clever, cinematic, satisfying who-dunnit that perfectly operates on so many levels. * Clare Povey * A wickedly plotted thriller that kept me guessing through to its end, This Books Kills is not only mysterious and funny, it' s also an insightful exploration of elitist culture. I raced through it! * Amy Beashel, author of We Are All Constellations * Brilliantly fun, twisty and dark in all the right ways. This Book Kills had such great energy and pace that I flew through it. * Tess James-Mackey, author of Someone is Watching You *
A born and bred Londoner, Ravena writes MG and YA, usually featuring antiheroines or snarky narrators. Growing up she always read the last page of books first, but discovering Agatha Christie in her early teens stopped that habit, igniting a love of twisty murder-mysteries with jaw-dropping endings the reader never saw coming. Ravena is a lawyer with a degree in biochemistry, and hopes to use the knowledge gained from her experiences to plot the perfect murder (for a book, of course!). In her spare time, Ravena enjoys hiking in the great outdoors (though nothing too mountainous because she' s very clumsy), baking cakes (that never rise) and falling asleep to her thousandth re-watch of Friends.
