An utterly original and wildly entertaining, Killing Me is a laugh-loud-loud thriller with a protagonist whose life is a total mess.
She escaped a serial killer. Then things got weird.
Amber Jamison can’t believe she’s about to become the latest victim of a serial killer. She’s savvy and street smart, so when she gets pushed into, of all things, a white windowless van, she is more angry than afraid. Things get even weirder when she’s miraculously saved by a mysterious woman . . . who promptly disappears. Who was she? And why is she hunting serial killers?
You’d think escaping one psychopath would be enough, but Amber’s problems are just beginning. Her close call has law enforcement circling a past she’s tried to outrun. She’s forced to flee across the country, ending up at a seedy motel in Las Vegas with a noir-obsessed manager and a sex worker as her unlikely companions . . . and danger right behind. She’s landed in the cross hairs of the world’s most prolific killer, caught up in a deadly game that’s been going on for years. To survive, she is forced to dust off her old playbook and partner with someone she can’t trust. The odds are against her, but sometimes you just have to roll the dice.
Review
If you remember reading the first Stephanie Plum book, you'll remember how her character was just so crazy, down to earth and totally relatable, that you laughed yourself through the whole book, then this is your new read!
Amber may have some issues, but like Stephanie, she's a character that quickly warms her way into your heart, and you're reading just to see what the adventure lies ahead for her. The savvy reader will have an idea what may be going on, but not really. The author has enough red herrings, that you could think a battleship in! And that's a good thing! Because it keeps the reader on their toes and rapidly turning pages. I started reading this book intending to read three chapters, but at 3:00 a.m. I finished reading the whole book, cause I just couldn't stop!! And then I wondered when the next book in the series would come out! Although technically the book winds up its tale, you can see many adventures ahead for Amber, and you just want to keep reading them. Do not miss this one!
