2.5⭐
• mystery thriller suspense • isolated setting • unlikable MCs • alternating timelines • alternating POVs •
I should probably part ways with this author, but she utilizes some of my favorite narrators, so I keep giving her another chance. Her characters are so whiny and uninteresting that she makes even my favorite narrators sound off their game. Unfortunately, the character's shortcomings ruined the whole vibe for me.

•My Score 4.54/10•

When I say, I squealed…I mean, I SQUUEEAALLLEEDDD opening this first thing this morning!! Was I late for work? Yes. Do you think I cared? NO! The sweater that will become my permanent uniform going forward, is unbelievably accurate. The books, so deadly, the pins and pens and treats OH MY!! I‘m soo grateful to you @DinoMom 🖤 This is such a phenomenal #AHRS package, I feel so SPOILED 😭. I can‘t wait to read The Ruins, I‘m very intrigued ☠️

I‘m down to only a few states before my #ReadTheUSA map is complete— & this #TrueCrime scratched #Delaware off my list! Rule‘s reputation proceeded her in this first experience with her writing. It‘s certainly a detailed exploration of Anne Marie Fahey‘s murder. Giving family background, & a thorough timeline both leading up to the murder & the official investigation that followed, this is a lengthy listen but still manages to unfold quickly.

It was the last couple chapters that brought this one up to a low pick for me.

I found this to be an interesting story, and I appreciate the many threads Summerscale was trying to weave together here: the murders themselves; the lascivious nature of the press and public interest in them; the racial tensions of the time; public attitudes towards women, sex work, and violence towards women.

I really enjoyed Ashley Elston's adult thriller Frist Lie Wins, so I decided to pick up one of her other books. However, this one didn't work for me. I found it really predictable and kind of boring.

However, I think young readers would really enjoy it.

I expected too much…🤷🏻‍♀️😕

Sometimes I enjoy YA - and sometimes the characters annoy me so much I can‘t even focus on the plot. Unfortunately, this is the latter.

“Kill For Me, Kill For You” is a mystery thriller with numerous plot twists that gave you surprises up to the very end. This novel was gripping and entertaining, however I‘m still not sure how I liked the ending.
