“Lish McBride's high-concept teen slasher, Most Likely to Murder, is as full of heart as it is dead bodies. The characters are so endearing you won't want to see them meet their grisly ends, but don't get too attached because, you know, someone is Most Likely to Murder them. Sweet, suspenseful, and hits all the murdery notes. Highly recommended.” —Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anna Dressed in Blood “Combining thrills, chills, and a whole lot of witty banter, Most Likely to Murder will scratch the Scream-shaped itch in every horror lover’s heart!” —Caleb Roehrig, author of The Fell of Dark “With horrors lurking down every hall, characters that will have you second guessing their every move, and classic, Lish McBride humor, Most Likely to Murder is an absolute thrillfest. It had me racing to the last page!” —Kristen Simmons, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Article 5
