Really liked this one. It was both intriguing and horrifying. While still YA, this book leans closer to the adult side of things. The topics and content are quite heavy, and will definitely hit an adult harder.
That said, my only real complaint about The Kill Order is the flashbacks slowing the book down. Don't get me wrong, every flashback was interesting, but part of me wishes they'd been two separate stories.
