I love stories that set in college and school environment it's always refreshing. The fact that there is a murder mystery combined with this makes it even more a type of book that I would read. Tasha sounds like quite a character. I'm eager to see how all unfolds and whether Tasha manages to solve the murder years later. Thanks for a detailed review it really gives a clear picture on what to expect. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free book.

The book seems like an interesting read. I seem like the only person who likes fast-paced books. I'd like to find out what Tasha found out. Nice review.

In “Death by Chaos” by Renaii West, Tasha Goldberg and her three roommates at Parnassus Canyon University form a close bond as the "Goddesses of 407." Their lives are upended when a student is found dead, implicating one of them. The fast-paced story, while intriguing, sometimes glosses over key events. Despite this, the unique characters and engaging murder mystery earn it 3 out of 4 stars. However, readers should be aware of potential triggers such as discussions of rape and death. Thank you for a great review!

I'll like to join Tasha in her determination to learn the truth, even though years have passed, as I read. How did a college incident wreak havoc decades later? And what did Tasha discover?

A murder in college changes the lives of four friends. After decades, the incident resurfaces and has to be solved. I like the outline of the story. I enjoy a fast-paced book so I'd give this a shot. Greek mythology references might be a turnoff for some. Thanks for the honest review. Congrats on the BOTD!

Renaii West created a stunning masterpiece. College girls, a gang of beauties, and a murder mystery. What an intriguing plot featuring thought-provoking themes such as faith, treachery, friendship, chaos, grief, and redemption. The author's writing style is incredibly vivid, and she has eloquently represented the characters and their struggle, with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged throughout the novel. I love the girls' moniker given to thd girls, "Godessess of 407." Indeed, a must-read book.

Tasha Goldberg, a college student with a sarcastic and narcissistic personality, offers a fresh and unique perspective. The references to Greek mythology are particularly intriguing, and I always appreciate a fast-paced book. It's a great review, and congratulations on BOYD.

Thank you for your thoughtful review of Death by Chaos! I appreciate your insights into Tasha's character and the pacing of the story. It's great to hear that you found the writing engaging and the murder mystery intriguing, even if some elements didn't resonate with you as much. Your feedback on the pacing and the use of Greek mythology is valuable, and I’m sure it will help potential readers gauge what to expect. I’m glad you would recommend it to murder mystery enthusiasts while also providing important trigger warnings. Your balanced perspective is much appreciated!

Definitely not my cup of tea, because the stories with main characters in their teenage become a bit adolescent to me at my age. University setting, studying, dormitory conflict and other issues that seemed so serious then, now look like simple inconveniences and can't interest me.

The plot was definitely intriguing but the character development for some of the characters did feel off. The time jumps at times were too massive but it doesn't at all affect the curiosity at all.

Death By Chaos has a captivating storyline. I like that the story has a murder mystery element to it. I also like that the main character of the story has a unique personality that sets her apart from the rest of the characters. It makes the story more interesting.
