Murder mysteries get me excited, especially ones with a good story plot. This excellent review did justice to the book, and also highlighted the character sufficiently.

The book is a classic example of thriller story and packed with suspense. The narrative is lovable and interesting as you dive deeper.

Do you feel a connection with those around you? What if you were paired long before? Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

'However, life changes drastically for all of them when a fellow student is found dead, and one of their own is the main suspect. They become entrenched in a web of lies and secrets.'
This is a mystery thriller, and I'd like to read it.

Thank you for your detailed review of Death by Chaos! I appreciate how you highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of the book. I agree that Tasha's character is quite unique with her sarcastic and narcissistic traits, which definitely sets her apart from typical protagonists. It’s interesting to hear that while you found the book's pacing too rapid, especially through significant life stages, the initial setup and character development kept you engaged. I also found the Greek mythology references intriguing, though I understand how they might feel excessive if overused. Your warning about potential triggers is very thoughtful and will certainly help potential readers make informed decisions. Thanks again for the thorough review!

The review is excellent. However, I don't understand what you meant when you said, ' I thought the story was an intriguing murder mystery." Obviously, there's the part about a murder, but was it intriguing or not, and was it mysterious or not? I thought it wise to ask to be cleared because your earlier narratives depict a story that is not only mysterious but also engaging.
I would love to read about Tasha and her three friends in the book, "Death by Chaos" by Renaii West. And yes, I'd definitely like to find out who was the guilty party.

I think this will be one of those exciting college books, although I can't help but wonder which girl is the culprit. There seem to be so many hidden secrets. I like how your review presents this book. This is an excellent recommendation.

Murder stories can be captivating, and "Death by Chaos" is no exception. I love the intrigue and mystery surrounding these four girls. Uncovering the events around the dead of a fellow student from 20 years ago makes the story even more appealing.

This book sounds like a gripping read, especially with its intriguing blend of mystery and college life. While Tasha's personality might be polarizing, her uniqueness adds depth to the story. I'm curious to see how the complex relationships and secrets unfold.

References were able to explain the details of the story well and expressively. Mysterious murders aren't my favorite reading, but it seems that the author was able to build different characters with coherent story line. I also like the fast pace of the stories without affecting the course of events. Congrats on BOTD!

In "Death by Chaos" by Renaii West, Tasha Goldberg and her roommates at Parnassus Canyon University become fast friends, known as the "Goddesses of 407." When a fellow student dies and one of the roommates becomes the main suspect, they find themselves entangled in a web of lies and secrets. Years later, Tasha is still determined to uncover the truth. Read the book to discover how a college incident wreaks havoc decades later and what Tasha uncovers. I love the book.
