Murder Land

By: Carlyn Greenwald

Narrated by: Emily Norman

Murder Land opens tonight. Not everyone will survive. Buckle up for a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.

Seventeen-year-old Billie feels like she is on top of the world. She gets to spend the summer with her best friend, sparks are flying with her crush, and she has received a promotion to ride operator for one of the most buzzworthy new attractions in the theme park she works at. But the first night on the new job takes a dark turn when her creepy coworker mysteriously dies...on her ride, when she isn't authorized to be running it.

At first, it seems like he died by heart attack, but by the time she returns to the body with help, it looks like a broken neck. Had she just imagined him sitting upright a few minutes ago? It's as if someone is trying to pin his death on her, and she has one night to figure out who is really responsible before she is blamed.

Billie recruits the help of her friends to sneak around the park after-hours and search for the truth. But as the night stretches on and more people wind up dead, Billie realizes she may not make it out of Murder Land alive. And her friends may know more than they're letting on.

the end was lacking....

The first 3/4 of this book was good. The perspective and the mystery was nice, but dang that last 1/4 was SO SLOW. I found myself skipping ahead in the final few chapters. the book is from the perspective of a 17 year old, and I get that....but it was lacking a lot. I had high hopes for this book.

I loved the story with all the characters and the setting!

I disliked that this book was a bit fast paced. It was also very hard to read because I wasn’t as interested in the story especially at the end.
