You Know What You Have To Do

You Know What You Have to Do by Bonnie Shimko follows Mary Magdalene a teenage girl who has a voice in her head that tells her to kill.  The novel follows her through her life as she faces these impulses to kill.

This is a creepy creepy book.  Mary is a sociopath who doesn't feel much guilt about her actions and lies her way through therapy.  She's not one that teens can really relate to but she's certainly fascinating.  I had no problem finishing the book although I wasn't very satisfied with the ending.

Appropriateness:  This book has quite a bit of adult content.  There's talk of sex, abortion and quite a bit of violence.  I'd recommend it to readers 16+
