A deeply intriguing read, The author has dealt with a sensitive yet pertinent subject very well. I loved how the motives come to light as the story progresses. At no point did I feel disengaged

Everyone in the Group Chat Dies was a fun and fast read with a great mix of suspense and humor. L.M. Chilton’s witty writing kept things lively even as the mystery unfolded. I really enjoyed the balance of laughs and thrills, making this a solid 4-star read for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this early copy.

I enjoyed LM Chilton's previous book to this so when I saw this on NG I immediately requested. Very fun and light thriller and mystery!

Well this was fun!! What a crazy book! I wasn’t sure what to expect as I hadn’t read the authors first book Don’t Swipe Right, but I really enjoyed it. Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the ARC. I’m off to read Donr Swipe Right now!

A fun, twisty and thrilling mystery centred around a 'spree-killer' case in Crowhurst and the events that occur when a social-media detective comes to town, declaring that the killer is still alive. Featuring a dual-timeline where each timeline is equally important, we are constantly thrown around between events, leaving the reader on edge throughout, questioning everything you have been told. With an excellent setting and a crow motif that will make sure you never look at a mascot the same way ever again, nor a claw machine for that matter - this is a sure fire winner for anyone after a creepy, small-town thriller-mystery that will keep you up until 2am reading.

First things first the plot twist at the end had me gagged I will not lie! Serial killer, comedy and unqualified 'couch detectives' saving the day? ATE. IT. UP.
Will be reading 'Don't Swipe Right' because I absolutely enjoyed Chilton's writing style.
Thanks to Aries Fiction, Head of Zeus and NetGalley for the opportunity to receive this ARC.

Having enjoyed Don't Swipe Right, I was excited to see what this author would do next and this was another fun read.
You do have to suspend belief a bit, but it was well written with short, snappy chapters.
The ending was a bit rushed for me and for some reason it reminded me of some of the recent YA mysteries that I've been reading.
Kirby and her friends definitely didn't always feel like they were in their thirties, that's for sure.
However, there were some nice twists and reveals and I will certainly be reading what L.M. Chilton does next.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A fun crazy wild ride of a read, a perfect combination of humour and mystery.

A well written, interesting, entertaining page turner,

Everyone in the group chat dies by L M Chilton
Includes: a killer group chat. Reunion chapters. 5 flatmates.
Dark past catching up with them. Lots of funny parts
Thank you @headofzeus for my gifted copy!

I got gifted a netgalley version of Don't swipe right and I really enjoyed it. So I was excited to read another book by this author, especially after reading the title
I read chapter one of this and it was very short but gripping and made me want to keep reading which is always a good sign. I like how some chapters were set in the present and some were set twelve months ago. It feeds you the answers and mystery very slowly so you can piece it together bit by bit

This was dark and twisty and hard to put down. Different to most thrillers l've read which I really liked. Something tragic happens that changes lives and everyone thinks they know the story but there's plenty of untold chapters left

Thanks NetGalley for the free advance read of this book for honest review.
Brilliantly written, my only complaint is I didn’t get anything else done as I couldn’t put it down!
The ‘film version’ in my head was very much that of the Scream! film franchise, but British, and slightly more believable.
I REALLY enjoyed this book, the main character, whilst flawed, was still likeable as were her rather unfortunate friends!
I will be looking for more by LM Chilton, and will TRY to pace myself next time so I don’t stay awake all night reading! Thanks for a great read.

This was certainly a different type of book! I was sucked in my the title, blurb and cover and when I started reading, I found that it was funny and well written. Based on a dual timeline of only a year in between, we find ourselves immersed in quite a few mysteries at once.

What I liked:
-Kirby was very likable and not just another teen hero
-The humour and relationships between the flatmates
-The background unearthed throughout the book
-The highlight of the perils of social media

What wasn't my cup of tea:
-The somewhat rushed ending
-Because of the rushed ending, the horror of what was happening was glossed over
-The romance never got there

I feel like the book had a very 'funny yet somewhat completely unrealistic' vibe that lends itself to movies like Hot Fuzz. It was a fun read and if you are in the mood for something not too serious, pick this one up!

Thanks to Netgalley and Head of Zeus Publishing for this ARC.

After reading this authors previous book I was eager for this and over the moon to be accepted.

Whilst I did enjoy it, it didn’t wow me, it was a little too predictable and I didn’t particularly gel with any of the characters.
I think it’s definitely more of a YA book.
I did quite like the ending though and would still recommend.

The interwoven timelines make for a very interesting reveal of a small town mystery. The characters are well written and evolved, with a healthy sprinkle of humour within the unfolding mystery. The group chat and internet element of the story makes for an interesting read and keeps the approach to the story current. Clever red herrings keep even seasoned mystery readers guessing until the end.

Fast-paced and highly entertaining, "Everyone in the Group Chat Dies" kept me hooked until the end.
This was my first book by L.M. Chilton, but it certainly won't be my last.

I really enjoyed Everyone in the Group Chat Dies. It was full of suspense, drama, mystery, and secrets. It was also funny and quirky.

I loved the way the story was told with Kirby/Clare as narrator and it being told in two timelines, too.
The storyline was fun and twisted, the writing style was addictive, and the characters were interesting, likable, and relatable.

I thought I had it figured out, but I wasn't even close. The twists and turns were crazy and they just kept coming.

This is the first book I've read from L.M. Chilton, and I'm definitely interested in reading more from this author.

I highly recommend it.

4 stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to Netgalley, Head of Zeus, and L.M. Chilton, for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Well this was highly enjoyable, and amazingly I didn't manage to predict the final outcome.

Told in two timelines, the previous year and current year, we get to learn the truth about various happenings in this small fairly sleepy town.

Kirby and her flatmates are central to everything, although I was getting Dylan and Dave confused at times (2 D names in the same flat share leads to that!), it certainly made for an interesting read.

There are some really odd dynamics at play, and Kirby is a bit of a bumbling, impulsive sort of new internet detective, who is trying to find Esme in the previous year time line, and find out why she is getting messages from Esme in the current time line.

What very soon becomes apparent is that if you were flatmates with Kirby, your life may be over sooner than you think.

This was an enjoyable story, and gave me a good indication that I'm likely to be happy to read more from the author in the future too.

Thank you to Head of Zeus and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Unfortunately this wasn't for me. I couldn't connect with any of the characters which was a me problem not a book problem. I am sure it will find the right target audience and is a hit!

This book started off well but became a little too far fetched for my liking. That said, the story was well paced throughout and the premise of the book is good.

Everyone in the Group Chat Dies has such a great title, I couldn’t resist reading it. The premise is fun, dark, and very now—with a mix of murder, humour, and internet culture that starts off strong.

The writing is witty, and there are definitely some laugh-out-loud and “wait, what just happened?” moments. It’s fast, a bit wild, and doesn’t take itself too seriously—which I appreciated! But as the plot twisted and turned (and twisted again), it got a little too chaotic for me. The plot gets increasingly over-the-top (which may be the point), but I found myself losing interest and struggling to stay invested in the characters.

Still, it’s a quick, quirky read with a lot of personality. If you like your thrillers with a side of satire and don’t mind things getting a bit crazy, this might be your kind of book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5)
Smart, sinister, and totally binge-worthy. This contemporary thriller taps into digital paranoia and group dynamics with eerie accuracy. L.M. Chilton crafts a fast-paced narrative full of twists, making it a perfect choice for fans of dark, modern suspense.
