The Kill Club

By: Wendy Heard

Narrated by: Almarie Guerra

Jazz will stop at nothing to save her brother.

Their foster mother, Carol, has always been fanatical, but with Jazz grown up and out of the house, Carol takes a dangerous turn that threatens thirteen-year-old Joaquin’s life. Over and over, child services fails to intervene, and Joaquin is running out of time.

Then Jazz gets a blocked call from someone offering a solution. There are others like her—people the law has failed. They’ve formed an underground network of “helpers,” each agreeing to eliminate the abuser of another. They’re taking back their power and leaving a trail of bodies throughout Los Angeles—dubbed the Blackbird Killings. If Jazz joins them, they’ll take care of Carol for good.

All she has to do is kill a stranger.

Roller coaster!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat! The characters seemed like real people who got themselves in over their head! I really enjoyed the story and the narration seemed spot on!

ExCUSE ME?!

This book had me on my toes from the start. I loved the complexity of Jazz’s character, and how she wasn’t exactly a fully good person but she tried her best and did what she thought she had to. Carol was way too real of a character and I hated her the whole time (I think I was supposed to.) and Sophia and Joachim were so good. I can’t remember a book that had me so stressed and invested, and I recommend this to anyone who needs something other than their own life to be anxious about for a bit.

Enjoyed "The Chain"? U will love "The Kill Club"!

Imagine getting a call offering you the resolution of one of your biggest problems, and the only thing you have to do will be to return the favor by getting rid of someone else’s biggest problem. A win win situation, right? or so Jazz thought.

Jazz has this one-time-life-changing option to get rid of her fanatically religious foster-mother who believes that Jesus the Lord can cure Jazz’s brother’s diabetes by locking him up in her house. As she speaks in “languages” commanding the power of God to heal him of his sickness while contradictorily damning Jazz to hell, Jazz is “forced” to join the club.

In “The Kill Club”, we have this fresh premise of a mysterious club of killings going around California. You get a package from Amazon with a set of instructions and a target, and you have to keep in mind that no errors are allowed. Jazz Benavidez is a fighter and the main character of this story who promises a to die ending.

Will Jazz be able to complete her task? Will Jesus cure Jazz’s brother’s diabetes? Will the system in the States be useful? Will the good one win for a chance? As the plot thickens with romance, gun power, fist fights and several plot twist, we start losing hope that this will ever have a happy ending just to realize that you, at the end, weren’t wrong, and if you though you knew better, think again.

Such a really good book!

The Kill Club was good. I really enjoyed the main character, Jazz, as well as the relationships she has with the other characters in the book. She asks the questions: how far would you go for love? How far would you go for justice? I really liked that!

The story is about a young woman who wants nothing more than to take her younger brother out of the custody of some wretched woman who abuses both her and the boy. She finds. A groups of people called the Blackbirds, who murder “bad people” when justice isn’t served appropriately.

I enjoyed the diversity aspect and the twists at the end were significant and strong.

The ending was my favorite part; but overall, this book was pretty mediocre for me.

amazing
