About this ebook

"Take her out back and finish her off."

She doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know where she is, or why. All she knows when she comes to in a ransacked cabin is that there are two men arguing over whether or not to kill her.

And that she must run.


In her riveting style, April Henry crafts a nail-biting thriller involving murder, identity theft, and biological warfare. Follow Cady and Ty (her accidental savior turned companion), as they race against the clock to stay alive, in The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die.

Ratings and reviews

It has the amount of information that describes what is happening , yet it still keeps you on the edge of your seat! This is a great book to read when you have time or when you are up for a good read. Especially, when you like mystery and crime stories. I am a very picky reader my self and it is very hard to find good books that make me feel what I feel for this book! And im only 12 pages in! I would recommend this for everyone! This book deserves 1,000 stars!

I just don’t know what to say about this book! Every time someone mentions it I scream of excitement! Almost the whole class asked me to borrow my books...(I feel so special) I once suggested my 5th grade teacher to read this book for read aloud but my principal said it was to violent. But to my surprise my tescher asked me if she could borrow it, and I said sure... it was until the end of the year she returned it to me. I have only read The Girl I Used To Be, and The Girl That Was Supposed To Die. But I also have Girl,Stolen, I mean the story sounds good but it didn’t bring much attention to be than from the other books; should I still read it?

A Friend of mine (From a game we play together) he told me about this book I read it and I enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend a friend this book as well. (P.S. If anyone is wondering who from Clan in Clash Of Clans...)
