District City is full of monsters. Not the kind that appear particularly vile from the outside. The kind who murder innocent people for no apparent reason. Abandoned houses are haunted by wayward spirits. Leaders of rival Colors clash over the secrets of a brutal past.After the Plague thinned out the population, Rin Morana figured people would have stopped killing each other. No such luck. Her … luck. Her parents disappeared, and now she is set to take over as the new Lady Morana, head of the Green faction. To be a leader, Rin must contend with her relationship to her rival, Lady Amaya, as well as her own history of violence.
A series of riddles take Amaya Verity out of her isolated room in the Blue compound and into the hidden spaces of the City. Running away from captivity, Amaya takes shelter with Rin at the old Sydis house. There she meets two young men with demons of their own to contend with and abilities to match. Alan who is hiding out from his abusive ex, and Kazuki who might be the only person in the City that remembers the events of the Plague.
As they dig deeper, Amaya and Rin must decide whether to fight monsters or become them.

Thank you Parliament House for an advanced copy. I voluntarily reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
This Will Kill That
By: Danielle K. Roux
*REVIEW*
I love Parliament House because their books are so different from the typical tropes. This Will Kill That is a good example. In a dystopian future setting, a plague has decimated much of the population. Those remaining are divided into color factions that fight each other. I like the idea of various colors. The characters are diverse and representative of LGBTQt, which is something you don’t see all the time. This was a fast unique read with a great premise. I recommend for dystopian fans.

About the book;
It was an bit confusing sometimes because we keep getting back and forth in time…
The characters are fun to get to know, they all have seen and been threw so much. The book starts with Rin and Amaya the main characters and the development between them and bonding.
I loved all the different book and movie referencing in the riddles and that the characters Kazuki and Alan where so much fun to meet and read about … And that they have an special friendship developing between them and Amaya.

With the death of her parents, Rin wants to see change in the world, she wants to see people stop killing each other based on their Color. Amaya has been raised in isolation, getting daily shots at the hands of her father. When she’s finally had enough, she realizes those shots were more than just keeping her safe, and an entirely new world of abilities opens up for her.
This Will Kill That is a YA dystopian adventure that sorts people by Colors, and certain Colors are superior to others. With a varied and inclusive cast of characters, this fast-paced adventure has a bit to like for everyone. The characters are wonderful, they are detailed and have imaginative abilities in this new world of District City. Alan and Kazuki are wonderful supporting characters and I’m looking forward to seeing how they develop their talents along with Amaya.
This book is the first in the series, so there are unanswered questions that still need to be addressed. Primarily, what is up with the chickens? The plot has multiple things are happening at once and they don’t tend to flow in a straight line. So if you think of it along the lines of quantum physics, in that time is not linear, then you find yourself okay with the non-linear plot. I think the writing is good but that the book could be a bit refined and polished. I’m looking forward to seeing the evolution of the writing, and to see what is in store for our 4-some in future books. Overall, a fun and fast-paced read, well done.
