Rating: 4.5/5 Reducing a .5 out of spite because HOW ON EARTH IS THIS A STANDALONE??? I eat up anything that Madam Mc Manus publishes because not only are the stories indulging but also very well written and almost always unputdownable. You’ll be the death of me was all that and managed to leave me craving for more. Like HELLO? This is a standalone? WHAT? HOW? WHY? Another interesting YA mystery/thriller by Karen M. McManus that's a spin on the Ferris Bueller adventure of ditch day from school, but this one has murder, drugs, secrets, and twists throughout the story. This is about 3 friends getting together to hang out on a ditch day in high school, who haven't been in touch with each other for a long time and how they reconnect like no time has gone by. They go wandering around to have an adventure together for ditch day and come across a dead body and everything goes wrong. They try to figure out who's involved and what happened with their fellow student and what led to his own murder. They each have their own issues and try to figure things out for themselves and all sorts of adventure, intrigue, and secrets are discovered and revealed. There are also some great twists in the story. I enjoyed this story a lot and thought it was another great book by Karen M. McManus that everyone should check out most especially all the YA mystery and thriller lovers. Thanks so much to Random House Children's Publishing/Delacorte Press and NetGalley for letting me read and review this great read.

HTML:Drei ehemalige Freunde. Ein Zufallstreffen. Ein Mord. Ivy, Mateo und Cal waren einmal befreundet, jetzt haben sie nichts mehr miteinander gemein. Aber als Cal zu spt zur Schule kommt und dort auf Ivy und Mateo trifft, scheint das die Gelegenheit zu sein, eine alte Tradition wiederaufleben zu lassen: einen Tag blau machen. Bei ihrem spontanen Ausflug in die Stadt sichten sie einen vierten Schler auf Abwegen und folgen ihm mitten hinein in einen Tatort. Ivy, Cal und Mateo kennen den Toten, der vor ihnen liegt und eigentlich sollten sie jetzt die Polizei rufen. Doch sie alle haben eine Verbindung zu dem Toten. Und etwas zu verbergen. War ihr Zufallstreffen wirklich ein Zufall? Rasant, sexy, umwerfend: der neue raffinierte Thriller von der Weltbestsellerautorin von One of us is lying! Mit meisterhaft geplotteten Wendungen und einnehmenden, komplexen Figuren garantieren McManus' Bcher eine Suchtgefahr, der man sich nicht entziehen kann. Weitere Romane von Karen M.

With You'll Be the Death of Me, the characters felt so real and fleshed out, I could not imagine the story playing out the same with a different cast of characters. Also, this was the first book of hers that I've read where I actually started tearing up over one of the characters and their situation. Mateo and his whole family were my favorites, I love them so much.
The mystery and twist and reveals were great of course, that is McManus' strong suit. Also, that ending! OMG, are we really going to leave everything on that ending?! I need to know what Ivy's going to do next. I need a damn sequel! Lol, if by chance we ever do get a sequel, can we see Daniel more in it? I liked Ivy's brother and I wanted to get more of his character in the story. I'm definitely going to be thinking about this story long after today. First favorite of 2023!
Now, I'm even more excited (if that's even possible) to pick up her latest book, Nothing More to Tell. ( )
