Wickedpedia by Chris Van Etten

Overall Rating: 6/10

Cole Redeker is a straight-A student who hopes to be valedictorian, but he can't get over the fact that his perfect girlfriend, Winnie, dumped him for a soccer star. He decides to start some drama between them by creating Wikipedia articles about them - but someone else takes this joke too far when people start dying.

First things first: the preview on the back of the book? It was clearly written by someone who has never read the book, because none of it is accurate to the story. The book feels like it was written by someone who is basing their interpretation of high schoolers off American TV shows; it just doesn't feel genuine. That being said, I did keep reading to find out if my guess about the murderer was correct (it wasn't).

If you like gore, the murders will scratch that itch for you: they are described in very graphic detail. Unfortunately, Cole is a pretty unlikeable protagonist, so it makes the rest of the book a bit hard to stomach.
