You Killed Me First by John Marrs

𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 4.5/5⭐️

You Killed Me First by John Marrs is a psychological thriller with complex female characters. Three women with three secrets but who will make it out alive. Anna, Margot, and Liv are all living in the same neighborhood but not everything is as it seems. 

This got me good! I could not guess anything for the life of me! I love it when a book can do that. I thought the writing was really well done. I enjoyed the different view points and the little supernatural aspects throw in which gave it a little more depth. 

It is so hard to like some of the characters but you end up doing it anyways. I would say this book has a good blend of strong female leads, dark suspenseful secrets, and betrayal. 

This is slower paced. I would say a medium-paced thriller with some supernatural vibes. This is my second book by this author and this one I definitely enjoyed more than the first!

I would definitely recommend this to those who like slower paced thrillers with character-driven domestic suspense and a little of the supernatural thrown in.
