Publisher's summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of How to Hang a Witch comes a thriller set at a secretive boarding school where students are trained to carry on family legacies that have built - and toppled - empires. Think Umbrella Academy with teenage assassins.

November is as good as dead. She just doesn't know it yet.

At the international Academy Absconditi, there's no electricity, no internet, and an archaic eye-for-an-eye punishment system. Classes range from knife throwing and poisons to the art of deception. And the students? All silver-spoon descendants of the world's most elite strategists - training to become assassins, spies, and master impersonators. One is a virtuoso of accents - and never to be trusted. Another is a vicious fighter determined to exploit November's weaknesses. And then there's the boy with the mesmerizing eyes and a secret agenda.

November doesn't know how an ordinary girl like her fits into the school's complicated legacy. But when a student is murdered, she'll need to separate her enemies from her allies before the crime gets pinned on her...or she becomes the killer's next victim.

From New York Times best- selling author Adriana Mather comes the first book in a thrilling new series that will leave you breathless.

Absolutely loved this

Very unique take on a secret boarding school with different expectations than regular schools & a location no one, not even its students, knows about for sure. Adriana Mather has created another great series I can’t wait for more from.

Great YA Series

This was a really enjoyable listen! The story is kind of Mr and Mrs Smith meets Harry Potter and the narrator does a fantastic job of bringing the story to life!

Great read/listen

As an adult, I go through phases of what genres I enjoy and I'm currently back to more of YA reading phase. I started listening to "The Naturals" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, which I had read before a few years ago, and was in the mood to go through for the second time, but when I finished listening to the first book in the series, I was bummed to realize the other books were not available in an audio format so I started looking for something similar to listen to and this book came up. I was not disappointed, this was a great first book and I really enjoyed both the story and the the narration. I will admit, certain aspects of the book were a little predictable, but that would be my only criticism for "Killing November". I'd definitely recommend this to adults and young adults alike.

one of the best reads

Honestly this is probably the most of my favorite books by Adriana Mather I've read all her other books or listen technically cause with my eyes I can't read anymore because I get multiple headaches so I have to listen audiobooks But I must say that out of every book that she's written this series has been my favorite so far all of them are my favorite but this is definitely my top one favorite favorite I suggest everybody definitely listen or read her books because where she goes with them and the story is amazing it captivates you it brings you in to the story and to the character is in it it just keeps you at the edge I honestly hope that some of these books do become ATV series or even a movie one day because I would like to see them on screen. But I still love listening to her novels and I just hope she keeps producing more so I can keep listening to more because she has an amazing talent.

Keep A Secret

Adriana Mather has been my new favorite author since How to Hang a Witch came out a few years ago. She’s done it again with the secret society that November is thrust into.
The book kept me captivated and guessing who November really is until the end. The narrator captures November’s spirit wonderfully.

A different read

This story is definitely way different than her other books. I fell In Love with her other books almost instantly.
This one is very different. It was a little slow going In The beginning. It was annoying that November couldn’t get a scrap of info and she that she wasn’t allowed to ask any personal questions. I was almost expecting the students to have super powers or something with all the secrecy.
But in the end the story picked up and got more exciting.
I didn’t love this book but it was not bad. I would say definitely give it a chance! I don’t see myself reading the next book tho. I’ll hold out for Samantha’s story to come back! (How to hang a witch)
