One of the books I read over the summer was Violent Ends, by Shaun Hutchinson. Along with Shaun Hutchinson, 17 other authors wrote this. I really liked this book for this reason because each chapter was a short story of a character by a new author. Violent Ends is about a boy named Kirby Mathanson who brought a gun to his high school. He killed 6 kids and injured 5 during a school pep rally. Each chapter shows the perspective of a victim, Kirby's family, or friends of the victim.
This book was kind of weird in ways just because it was about a school shooting, but it was cool to read about the insight of the characters and their emotions through the trauma. For example, one of the chapters was about a boy named Teddy who used to be best friends with Kirby. They met at summer camp and Kirby always stuck up for him and helped him out. He never knew he would turn out to be a murderer, but Teddy still felt regretful because he could've been nicer to Kirby. Overall, Violent Ends was a pretty good book and I recommend it if you like mysteries and suspenseful books.
