#Prettyboy Must Die, by Kimberly Reid is a contemporary action-suspense young adult novel with an underlying romance interspersed through the story.
Jake Morrow is a former foster-kid turned CIA operative. Due to an incident on his first mission, Jake is sent back to high school as Peter Smith with his new job on hold. However, his CIA cover is jeopardized when his photo accidentally goes viral online and #Prettyboy becomes his new nickname.
During an average day at high school, hostiles drop through the ceiling to trigger various suspenseful and unusual events. Jake is forced to determine his friends versus his enemies, from his best friend and his girl crush to his teachers and classmates, as well as his new fan club. By the way, one of #Prettyboy's fans is highly entertaining. :) While trying to survive, Jake (also known as Peter) is attempting to keep his job, save his school and possibly the world.
Even though the story dispenses reality, it was an enjoyable and suspenseful story with various twists throughout the book. I'm intrigued to read more, yet I didn't see a sequel mentioned on Goodreads.
#Prettyboy Must Die is ideal for those who are interested in unusual romances amidst a contemporary action-suspense story, particularly geared towards junior high and high school ages (and those who enjoy YA books).
Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
