Pursuing higher education has never been this deadly.
College is supposed to be a place for new beginnings. For starting over. For reinvention.
At least that’s the lie Kylene Danners was sold. But from where she sits, freshman year is looking a lot like the life of crime-solving shenanigans she’d hoped to leave behind.
A group of boys sextorting female students? Check. A possible serial killer lurking in the campus shadows? Yep. A conspiracy unraveling from a cold case assignment gone wrong? Bingo. And no matter how hard she tries to be a normal college kid doing normal college things, it isn’t long before she finds herself swept up in all three mysteries.
Lucky for Kylene, she’s got her high school besties at her side, an FBI boyfriend in her back pocket, and enough feminine rage to fuel one more round of justice distribution.
Hopefully this time she doesn’t nearly die in the process.
FRESHMAN YEAR'S A KILLER, the first new-adult thriller novel in the Catching Killers series, the next chapter in the Hometown Antihero series by USA Today bestselling author Amber Lynn Natusch.
