I can’t explain the feelings this story pulls out of me. Nijkamp completely ensnares you in her tale of violence, revenge, heroism, and mixed emotions while one boy goes on a killing spree through school. Autumn, Sylv, Tomas, and claire are at different places around campus… some inside with the shooter and some on the outskirts trying to save others.
Each viewpoint comes from someone with personal ties to the shooter, whether it be love or hate. The catch phrase on the cover of the book, “Everyone has a reason to fear the boy with the gun.” is absolutely true. “This Is Where It Ends” follows the story of four teenagers from Opportunity High School as each are entangled in a school shooting led by someone they know. An absolutely riveting tale of secrets, realizations, and horror. Marieke Nijkamp tackles both in her upcoming YA fiction release “This Is Where It Ends”. **A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.** Told over the span of 54 harrowing minutes from four different perspectives, terror reigns as one student’s calculated revenge turns into the ultimate game of survival.
The students get up to leave the auditorium for their next class. The principal of Opportunity, Alabama’s high school finishes her speech, welcoming the entire student body to a new semester and encouraging them to excel and achieve.
