Amber Jamison is saved from being a serial killer’s latest victim by a mysterious woman who quickly disappears. Amber doesn’t want any unnecessary attention on herself-especially from the police, so she quickly leaves town. Amber ends up in Vegas and is quickly befriend by Marcela, a friendly sex worker, and Dot, a noir obsessed vigilante hotel manager. Somehow Amber ends up in the crosshairs of another serial killer. Amber’s erstwhile mysterious rescuer also turns up in Vegas on a new personal mission. Can Amber and her new pals catch the serial killer before becoming victims themselves? 

Killing Me is fun read. I know it’s kind of weird to use the word fun to describe a book about a brutal serial killer, but it that’s the best way I can describe it. At times it’s absurdly funny, irreverent, tragic, and touching. I enjoyed the main characters especially Amber. She a former grifter who now just wants to finish her college degree and not live a life of crime. She’s a smart, funny, sexy lgbt main character. The plot had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing and chucking. There’s something for everyone here- quirky characters, a lot of snark, a dash of romance, and an intriguing mystery. This book will appeal to fans Finlay Donovan and Stephanie Plum. It’s a great mix of murder, friendship, romance, and humor. Looking forward to more! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you @putnambooks and @netgalley for the digital review copy. Killing Me publishes on May 16th. Put this one on your TBR list because it’s a lot of fun! 

QOTD: it’s tax day here in the US. 😕 Do you wait until the last minute to do your taxes and file? 

I don’t like waiting until the last minute. My husband dragged his feet this year giving me the info needed for our rental property. So we’re filing today.
