Killer Spirit

Killer Spirit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a fast, witty YA mystery set in a high school where the cheer squad doubles as undercover government operatives. If you like teen spy fiction with sharp banter, high stakes and a dash of romance, this one delivers.

Toby Klein still feels like the last person who should be in uniform—until you remember the uniform is cover. Bayport High is buzzing with rumours that something big is about to hit town, and the Squad is meant to stop it before anyone notices. The problem? Toby’s juggling a dangerous mission, team politics, and the very public chaos of homecoming nominations—all while trying not to get distracted by one seriously compelling (and aggravating) boy.

Perfect for readers who enjoy page-turning spy thrillers, high school secrets, and heroine-led mysteries with attitude.

Add it to your stack and see how Bayport’s prettiest cover story holds up under pressure.
