Review “THE KILL CLUB” By Wendy Heard

“The Kill Club” follows Jasmine “Jazz” Benavides, a 28-year-old product of the foster care system, who desperately tries to save her 13-year-old brother Joaquin from suffering the same fate. He is currently still under the care of his adoptive mother, Carol Coleman, Jazz’s former foster mother and abuser-in-chief. Jazz will stop at nothing to try to get custody and keep him safe.

Aside from her day job, Jazz is also a drummer in a local band. When someone seizes and then dies at one of her shows, she inadvertently becomes part of a vigilante murder club. The rules are simple: don’t talk about murder club. When bodies start turning up with the same playing card at the scene, the police think it’s the work of one serial killer who they’ve called the Blackbird Killer.

But the murders aren’t random. They’re part of the murder club—an eye for an eye. As a member of the Club, Jazz will be assigned a random stranger to kill (disguise, poison, and playing card provided), and she can dictate who she wants killed later—and someone with no connection to her will do it. She’ll never be a suspect. It’s clean. Easy. And she wants Carol gone.

When Jazz becomes involved with Sofia, Joaquin’s assistant principal at school, things get complicated. Jazz gets her Kill Club assignment and realizes her target is anything but random. When she breaks the Club’s protocol and doesn’t complete the kill, it puts the bullseye on her back and she spirals into a race for her own life. With those closest to her threatened, can she trust anyone?

With more twists and turns than a roller coaster, this gritty, fast-paced thriller will have you flipping pages until your fingers catch fire. And just when you feel safe, the chilling ending reminds you: it’s a secret club for a reason.
