Summary

WELCOME TO MURDER HIGH。。。

17-year-old Lilith Delaney has lived a quiet life despite a history of mental health troubles， but when she finds her best friend's mutilated corpse in a high school locker room her world is transformed forever。

Lilith discovers nothing around her is as it seems。 A hidden war has been raging in the halls of her school between domestic terrorists and a mysterious agency willing to do anything to stop them。

In hopes of avenging her dead friend， Lilith joins M School， a secret underwater training facility dedicated to transforming teenagers into world-class assassins。 But the longer Lilith spends at M School， the more she begins to wonder if what she’s being taught will help her catch her friend's murderer， or just turn her into the very thing she set out to stop。。。 a cold blooded killer。

Kevin Hogg ，

I really enjoyed the story。 The pacing worked well for me--starting with a soccer game that develops some characters and gets the reader engaged， only to find out that the story takes a major turn right away。Very quickly， the main character finds out that much of what she believes is a lie， and that she needs to head off on a dangerous journey to make things right。 I liked the way the school was described--an interesting mix of classes in a building unlike any other。 There are several side-plots I really enjoyed the story。 The pacing worked well for me--starting with a soccer game that develops some characters and gets the reader engaged， only to find out that the story takes a major turn right away。Very quickly， the main character finds out that much of what she believes is a lie， and that she needs to head off on a dangerous journey to make things right。 I liked the way the school was described--an interesting mix of classes in a building unlike any other。 There are several side-plots that develop the main character as well as a few others， but it all leads to a satisfying conclusion in which I wasn't sure what to expect。 Even the parts that I guessed correctly only ended up being partially true， which I always take as a sign of a creative storyteller。The first-person narrative helps the reader follow the main character's thought process， even when feeling that she's making reckless decisions。 Overall， M School was a fun book （yes， despite some descriptions of graphic violence） with a bunch of memorable moments。 。。。more

M school by Kevin T。 Johns packs a punch！ Lilith has the emotions and mannerisms of a sociopath。 She blends into school life fine and she's a great goalie for their soccer team。 The captain of the team and Lilith's best friend is brutally murdered and the loss devastates the school。 The soccer coach approaches Lilith and states that he needs a replacement for Lara。 Immediately， Lilith thinks he means as a soccer captain and when he states that's not the replacement he needs， she assumes it's as M school by Kevin T。 Johns packs a punch！ Lilith has the emotions and mannerisms of a sociopath。 She blends into school life fine and she's a great goalie for their soccer team。 The captain of the team and Lilith's best friend is brutally murdered and the loss devastates the school。 The soccer coach approaches Lilith and states that he needs a replacement for Lara。 Immediately， Lilith thinks he means as a soccer captain and when he states that's not the replacement he needs， she assumes it's as a sex partner replacement and she becomes extremely and awkwardly uncomfortable。 It takes the coach a bit to realize what she's thinking。 He's a bit flabbergasted， but the truth is even harder for Lilith to believe。 Coach Taylor and Lara are undercover agents for M School and they're trying to take care of The Dissidents， a domestic terrorist organization。 Lilith's life changes completely after she is recruited to M School。 Her parents believe that Lilith will be attending school for gifted students but she's going to become a trained killer。 All Lilith wants is vengeance for Lara's murder but she gets so much more。 The M School setting is creative and the characters are strong， but in turmoil。 4 stars for this action packed adrenaline rush of a story！I received an arc from author for a fair review。 。。。more

Wow。 I don't even know where to begin with this review。 That is how much my head is spinning after finishing the novel。 I suppose the beginning would make sense yes？Right。 So。 Lilith， other than a somewhat cliched name， set the tone for the entire novel。 I mean， experiencing murder will do that to a person。。。 For a YA novel， I was quite surprised at the amount of gore illustrated。 Not only did this tactic work out for the author， but it really kick starts the entire story line。 I found myself re Wow。 I don't even know where to begin with this review。 That is how much my head is spinning after finishing the novel。 I suppose the beginning would make sense yes？Right。 So。 Lilith， other than a somewhat cliched name， set the tone for the entire novel。 I mean， experiencing murder will do that to a person。。。 For a YA novel， I was quite surprised at the amount of gore illustrated。 Not only did this tactic work out for the author， but it really kick starts the entire story line。 I found myself really liking the character of Lilith， despite her willingness to charge into stupid situations。 She starts to come into her own as the book progresses which made me smile。 On top of that， she is a calculating character - because sometimes feigning stupidity works in your favour。There were several surprises for me in the novel， like the ability the author had in accurately explaining how a person feels in certain scenarios， or how the characters would make their points heard。 And other than the painfully obvious red herring （which I'm sad that you chose that person as the scapegoat）， I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book。 That said， there were things I disliked。 DAMN YOU for poking at fears like that。 It's a good thing I can compartmentalize well otherwise I wouldn't be sleeping from certain points。 As stated before， I'm sad the scapegoat was that person - they are people too！ （You'll understand when you read it。。。） And other than the minor flub with grammar （as in， there were a couple points that had quotations at only the end of the sentence where there should be none。 One 'ed' added to a word that didn't need it。。。）， it was still interesting by the time I reached the end。I'm hoping there is another book？ I feel like other stories can come out from this one even though the book has a clear ending。 Everything is resolved by the end， so don't worry about that review readers！I recommend this book。 Unless you have an easily upset stomach。 Then don't。 Because the first bit isn't even the worst of it。 。。。more

This book is action packed from the beginning！ Lillith is a bot different than her friends。 The book has a great story behind it and lots of great characters。 M school is a fun ride and a excitingly good book！ * I received this book from the author--this is my honest review*
