4.5 Stars

I loved the concept of this one! Two women meet and both want revenge so they swap murders…if you k*ll for me, I’ll k*ill for you.

I couldn’t put this one down. It was unique and for a thriller the character development was so good. The book kept me on my toes - it was twisty and full of suspense and I loved the ending. If you’re a thriller lover, then you definitely need to pick this one up!

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kill For Me, Kill For You was a pretty great read. It was a great page turner that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. Chapter after chapter I found myself wanting to know what was going to happen and how everything played out. I started putting the pieces together, but didn’t connect the dots until the very end.

You get to really know Amanda & Ruth at the very start of the book to know what they’re dealing with. Losing a child and husband is life altering. Getting assaulted in your own home is such a violation of privacy you’ll never feel safe there ever again. This book takes you through the twists and turns of new characters, how they play a role with Amanda & Ruth and how everything ties together in the end. It’ll keep you on your toes until you finally figure it all out.

Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books and Steve Cavanagh for the ARC of Kill For Me, Kill For You.

A really fun mystery thriller with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it so much! Definitely recommended.

Woah! Strangers on a train turned on its head ten times over. This thriller had more twists than a pretzel shop!

This novel starts when Amanda and Wendy meet in a grief support group and then decide to murder the individual who has caused the grief for one another. I really thought this was going to go down the predictable path of following close to Hitchcock’s plot but oh boy was I surprised!

Steve Cavanaugh has written a few of my favorite legal thrillers, he has a real talent for leading you one way and then punching out a truly shocking surprise.


Five stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria books for the E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When a killer destroyed Amanda's life and then walked free, all she could think of was revenge. Then one day a woman named Wendy joined her grief support group with a similar story to her own, and they agreed to take vengeance on their respective killers, each committing a murder for each other.

This book went in so many directions from that which I had expected. Amanda was likeable and easy to sympathize with, and the story of Ruth and what happened to her that was interspersed with that of Amanda and her present-day interactions with Wendy was sympathetic as well. The reader felt just as betrayed as the characters with the twists and turns of this novel. I appreciated the ending too, it was really satisfying.

Amanda has suffered loss that no one should ever experience. When she meets Wendy at a grief group she feels a connection with someone for the first time in a long time. When they realize they can help one another find the closure they both need Amanda must decide if she can really kill another human being.

This book is wild! The story is woven together perfectly and the twists kept coming. As someone who reads a ton of thrillers I am hard to impress. This one did it! Fantastic!

In Kill for Me; Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh, the reader is plunged into a gripping thriller centered around a series of murders and attempted murders. Two women make a pact to take revenge for the other, but things aren’t as they seem as the story unfolds. The main character, Amanda, luckily has a detective who has befriended her and only wants the best outcome. As the story progresses, secrets are revealed, alliances are tested, and the line between hunter and prey blurs.

Cavanagh skillfully weaves together a web of suspense, keeping readers on the edge of their seats with each unexpected twist and turn. The intricate plot is full of surprises, making it a compelling read for fans of the genre. The storyline is developed from multiple points of view (each chapter) and offers a nuanced portrayal of all character struggles and motivations.

Overall, Kill for Me; Kill for You is a four-star read that will appeal to anyone who enjoys gripping tales of serial killers and the relentless pursuit of solving a puzzle. Cavanagh's mastery of suspense and their ability to keep readers guessing until the very end make this a must-read for thriller enthusiasts.

Wow. WOW. WOW. This book is fantastic. Told in different points of view and twist after twist. Five stars!!!

Kill for Me, Kill for You | Steve Cavanagh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Twist, after twist, after twist. Modeled after “Strangers on a Train,” you’ll think you know how it’s going to go and who is who, but you actually won’t have a clue. Told through multiple perspectives, you get the full story. Many books don’t tell you about the same situation from multiple viewpoints but Steve Cavanagh did that, and did it WONDERFULLY! And somehow still made it easy to follow. With the insanity that this story was, my only gripe was that the ending was too clean. Everything got cleaned up, which is great, but it just didn’t feel fitting for how wild of a ride the overall book was. Overall, I still recommend this book and am thankful that even though I missed it through Book of the Month, I was able to get an ARC from NetGalley! Thank you NetGalley for giving me this opportunity!

This book is part murder mystery, part revenge plot, and has some good twists to it. The author took inspiration from Strangers on the Train and made it their own.

While this was a fast read for me it never really gripped me the way I want a thriller to. I want to turn the pages and want the feeling of not knowing what is going to happen next. I didn’t really get that with this one. I was a little underwhelmed and saw most of the twists coming.

The plot and writing in this were really enjoyable, I just wanted a little bit more from it. Something was just missing for me. But overall this book was a solid three stars.

This book. OH MY GOD. I have never been so annoyed trying to piece a story together. The way the storylines tied in together was fantastic. I love the way the author leaves so many things up to interpretation to come to our own conclusions. It’s such a unique writing style and I am so excited to read more by this author.

Amanda is distraught over her child and husband's death, wanting only for the person responsible to pay for his crime. Attending grief groups, she meets Wendy who has the same feelings, who then proposes Patricia Highsmith/Alfred Hitchcock's classic plan: they swap murders to get revenge for their families. Meanwhile, Ruth is attacked by a blue-eyed man. She survives but the trauma remains and she has to flee her home with her husband Scott. A cop, Farrow, investigates these cases and the women connected to them. As the revenge plots move forward, these women are drawn together into a dangerous fight for their lives.

I have really enoyed Steve Cavanagh's books in the past, the Eddie Flynn books have been wonderful. But this book did not really do it for me. The characters were well-developed, with different responses to the traumatic events that happened to them. It had some very solid twists, some of which I really saw coming but still appreciated how it impacted the characters. I think it was the pacing. The first half felt very methodical while the second half, as the plans form and succeed or fall apart speeds by so much faster. While it made for exciting reading and I finished the book quickly, it left me wanting so much more. There wasn't any time to breathe like there was in the first half. It made the ending feel rushed and not as impactful as I wanted (especially when you are competing with the classic of Strangers on a Train and the great set piece of the ending at the carnival). That said, I don't disagree with the praise this book is having for being a strong thriller with great twists and characters. Steve Cavanagh is still a great crafter of thrillers, even if this one didn't work for me as much.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for a copy of Kill for Me, Kill for You in exchange for an honest review.

Wow what a twisty tale that was brought to life. I don't see how this one is getting anything less than 4 stars from readers.

Published by Atria Books on March 19, 2024

One of the main characters in Kill for Me, Kill for You is a violent crime victim. Two others are mothers of murder victims. The last key character is an older cop named Farrow. Farrow “closed cases that nobody else could.” Farrow is the stereotype of a dedicated cop who fights through back pain and never married because he devotes all his time to catching bad guys. He is, in a word, boring.

Ruth was stabbed multiple times by a serial killer with blue eyes who breaks into houses and kills women. The cops call the serial killer “Mr. Blue Eyes” based on the description that Ruth, as the only survivor of his murder spree, was able to provide. A siren spooked Mr. Blue Eyes so he fled before he could finish stabbing Ruth to death. Now Ruth is too paranoid to leave her home (which is a bit irrational since she was stabbed in her home) and counts on her dutiful husband Scott to protect her.

Scott bulked up after being bullied as a teen. He’s a former prosecutor who loved to put bad guys away, making him another boring character but a suitable shield to whom Ruth is Velcroed. Steve Cavanagh tells us over and over that Scott is a perfect husband who will always protect his wife. When the plot takes its first twist, this trait turns out to be unfortunate for Scott.

Amanda and Naomi are mothers whose kids were murdered. Amanda’s six-year-old was found in a dumpster (naturally, because Cavanagh wants to horrify the reader without being overly graphic about the crime details). Her husband killed himself a week later.

Amanda believes her daughter was killed by Wallace Crone, a wealthy stockbroker, because a camera caught an image of someone who looks like Crone walking with a girl who looks like the daughter. The reader is presumably meant to share Amanda’s outrage that the legal system won’t put Crone behind bars based on suspicions about his guilt. Amanda has been stalking Crone (she plans to shoot him when she gets the chance) and, reasonably enough, he’s suing her for harassment. The reader is apparently meant to be outraged by that, as well.

Naomi’s daughter was found dead in a vacant lot. The daughter’s diary indicated that she’d been having sex with her teacher, Frank Quinn. Naomi believes Quinn killed Naomi to protect himself. Her suspicion goes nowhere because it’s unsupported by evidence.

Naomi and Amanda meet in a support group for traumatized mothers. The group requires its members to identify themselves by fictitious names. Amanda and Naomi become friends. They soon discover a mutual frustration that the legal system won’t convict people of crimes in the absence of clear evidence. Naomi proposes a scheme that she has taken from the Hitchcock film, Strangers on a Train. If Amanda kills Quinn and Naomi kills Crone, Naomi explains that the murders will go unsolved. Neither woman has a motive to kill her victim, while the woman who does have a motive will be surrounded by witnesses who can establish her alibi for the moment of the murder.

With that setup, Cavanagh needed to tweak the Strangers on a Train plot to avoid the perception that he was stealing the story outright. To avoid spoilers, I’ll avoid revealing the tweaks. Suffice it to say that, as in Strangers on a Train, a murder ensues. In fact, Cavanagh adds more murders before the novel ends. And as in Strangers on a Train, the dual murder scheme does not proceed as planned. I imagine that most readers will see that coming. As the reader will anticipate, the dual murder plot involving Amanda and Naomi will eventually tie into the story involving Ruth and her fear of the blue-eyed serial killer.

With the possible exception of Farrow, who is just too dull to care about, none of the characters deserve the reader’s sympathy. It’s one thing to be a crime victim. It’s quite another to think that your status as a victim entitles you to seek revenge. Cavanagh makes heroic efforts to seduce the reader into viewing Amanda as a relatable human being, but a person whose life is driven by the desire for revenge isn’t a person anyone should want to know.

The story builds toward a conclusion that is meant to be suspenseful. By that point, I had given up on caring about the outcome. The plot acquires energy in the closing chapters — another murder is imminent — but the intended victim isn’t a character in whom a reader will have made an emotional investment. The penultimate dramatic scene is so contrived that it left me laughing. A bad guy babbles away, explaining the plot from his perspective like a Bond villain, giving good guys the time they need to thwart him. Really?

While the story earns points for following an unexpected course, the plot isn’t remotely believable. Apart from a psychopath whose behavior is consistent with mental illness, the story depends on characters behaving stupidly. People are certainly capable of stupid behavior, but these are supposedly intelligent characters. A forced plot, combined with a manipulative effort to create sympathy for characters who deserve none, prevents me from giving the book a wholehearted recommendation. A reader’s time might be better spent reading Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train or watching Hitchcock’s masterful adaptation of a great novel.

RECOMMENDED WITH RESERVATIONS

I feel kind of guilty giving up on a book so quickly, but I decided I couldn’t force myself to read something I wasn’t enjoying just because it’s an ARC. It probably didn’t help that the ARC starts with a letter from the editor recommending this book for fans of three of my least favorite “thriller” authors working today. Anyway, the first several chapters were just not grabbing me, and the dialogue is incredibly stiff and unnatural. I jumped ahead to the end and I can safely say that I’m glad I didn’t spend much more time on this book, because it concludes in a very unsatisfactory way. If you are a fan of Colleen Hoover, Alex Michaelides, or Ruth Ware (the authors referenced in the letter from the editor, this may appeal to you! I am definitely not the audience for this one though.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

I would give this a solid 4.5- I love when multiple POVs come together and I don’t see the “how” coming! The story was great, with lots of twists and turns that I did not expect. The only reason I knocked a half star off is that there were one or two twists or events that I just couldn’t believe would happen. Otherwise a great read!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

3 stars

This book could have gone either way for me. It almost lost me one third into it when the idea of "Strangers in the Night" crimes was introduced as I was afraid this is going to be another one of those books that copy Agatha's successful themes. I am happy I was proven wrong, however the book did feel too farfetched for me.

There are quite a few interesting and unexpected twists, but sometimes less is more. In this case there were too many which made the story lose its charm and plausibility.

A good, fast, enterteining read.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books eGalley for allowing me to read this fun book!

This story was insane in the best way. There were multiple twists, multiple gasps from me, and multiple moments where I had to pause and just stare at a wall for a second.

Told from multiple POVs, the characters also threw me for a loop. At one point I was cheering them on and in the next breath wanting them to get arrested immediately. Following the strangers on a train formula, but also vering extremely to the side, this was a shocking book that I could not. put. down. I definitely could not guess what was going to happen next and the ending left me speechless. Honestly might need a few days to recover.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

<b>Overall Thoughts:</b>
<b><i><small>{{Disclaimer: I write my reviews as I read}}</small></i></b>

We get pov's from:
Ruth
Scott
Amanda
Farrow

Take a drink everytime the word <s>sterilizer</i> is used within the first few pages.

This takes a quick turn in the sexual assault of children.

So I just watched a documentary on Fox Island in Michigan during the 70s and there were so many higher up people that got away with child abuse. They would get a slap on the wrist and it made me realize how under valued women and children really are. Whenever the offense deals with sexual assault of women or child it's a few months or a few years. Reading this book makes me mad that they got him walking away with her daughter on camera and he <b>still</b> get away with it. Plus they mention knowing he's bringing in underage girls into his apartment, but it's not the big picture the DA wants.

I was curious why Jess was in the park alone to be taken away.

So tired at how easy books make getting into the black web is, she just able to jump on and buy a gun. The black web is just the most simplest way now for authors to explain how people can get anything.

I think it's so weird that they would want to see Amanda's license. I just don't understand why a journalist would care that much about crimes that had happened so long ago enough that they'd want to trick these people.

<i>That’s when she heard a single, faint drip. Liquid hitting tile. She focused on the ground, watched another of her tears fall toward the white tile between her feet. Drip. She hadn’t even realized she was crying.</i>
You'd have to be crying so much and so hard to even hear your tears hit the floor. This part seemed far-fetched.

Love that Amanda and Naomi(Wendy) mention that they have no ties to each other I mean we'll except they went out drinking in public, in the same grief group, oh and texting each other. But yeah, zero contact.

Naomi killed Crone. They make out like it's just so simple to kill this man after a few days since they talked about it. Now he's dead.

Ruth sees the man that attacked her in her apartment and I just knew that Scott was going to murder him. This book treats murdering people like it's so easy.

Was it even mentioned that Croan has call girls to Naomi? Or where he lived? Why does Amanda have to help Naomi kill the person she wants that night? It's such a lame reasoning now why that Naomi. This is all completely confusing. First Amanda mentions this murder to Naomi and then Naomi just disappears only to show up and tell her that she did it and now she has to do it that night without any preparation. She might make a mistake and get caught. This is so much like Strangers on a train.

The man that attacked Ruth is in the hotel they are staying at and Scott thinks this must be because he knows that Ruth is the only one that can identify him, but that thought doesn't hold any merit since he just told Ruth that even though she can identify her attacker she can't prove it's him. Plus the man that attacked her by now must know there is nothing she can do to pin the attack on him, so putting himself in plain sight seems silly when he'd just wait until he could get her alone again would be his best opportunity.

Scott then attacks him in the hallway. Do cameras not exist in this place? They rode up the elevator together, talked, and then Scott follows him down the hallway.

I just don't believe that Naomi actually killed Croan. It seems odd that Amanda never asked how she had proof that she killed him. Noami wants Amanda do it that night so she has proof that Amanda isn't going to go to the police, but what proof does Amanda have that Naomi that did the murder?

Scott has an absolutely brutal fight with the man that attacked Ruth, somehow no one complains about the sounds (I've never been in a hotel that didn't have thin walls). He then walks down the stairs (that have zero cameras) and to Target where he buys bleach and gloves. I just don't know how the police wouldn't think to look at the last person that saw the man alive and was in the same hallway and then see that he went to Target to buy things you'd never need at a hotel.

Dna doesn't exist in this book because everyone kills multiple people in different ways and locations and there is no evidence ever left behind.

Told you that Naomi lied!! She did a typical thing where she rushed her past thinking.

How did Amanda get her car from outside of Frank's house? Is it just sitting there the whole time?

We find out that the man Scott killed wasn't actually the one that attacked Ruth. Oh so the camera that caught Scott for an odd reason was postioned from the back. What's the point of the camera if it only shows the back of the person? Also when Scott opened the door to look at where the camera was after the murder he said the camera was after room 1246.
<i>"There was a security camera fifteen feet to the left of the door, on the ceiling, pointing back down the corridor. His attack on the man would not have been caught by the cameras. They might pick him up following the man, but they wouldn’t have seen Scott lifting the bottle."</i>
Then in chapter 44 we get;
<i>"Footage from a security camera showed a hallway in the hotel with a man in the frame. It was Scott. But only from the back. The other image that flashed up was from the front, but he was looking away and his face wasn’t visible to the camera."</i>
How was he able to walk away from the camera and toward the camera but his face not be visible when in Scott's chapter he never mentioned blocking his face? Scott even mentioned looking toward the room numbers so it's not like he kept his face down.

Also for some reason Ruth is happy that this random dude is dead and his wife is in pain. Um okay.

Also also Ruth is watching the news conference for the man her husband killed because she misidentified him, when Dan Puccini comes on screen and NOW this is the man that stabbed her. Sorry Ruth you got it wrong before and a man died why should anyone believe you now?

Billy siding with Amanda and saying she shouldn't have been put in that situation is crazy. She isn't the victim here when it comes to this. Yeah, what happened to her with her family is terrible but killing someone still is a terrible act.

What was the point of Scott calling the police if he was just going to leave his wife alone after she is having this mental breakdown? There is no plan for her or what she is supposed to do.

Soooooo at this point is Ruth really Wendy/Naomi?

Confusing when Amanda asks Billy where he got the photo of Quinn and he says it's not Quinn, but instead it's Saul Benson. How could this be? Amanda mentions that she was at Frank Quinns house and it's even reported on the news that he was attacked, but Billy was waiting outside Frank's house, so how wouldn't he know that this Saul dude was supposed to be dead but was actually alive? How is Saul Benson, a dead man the same man as Frank Quinn and this never brought up to Amanda when talking to Billy?

Okay this is weird. All those years Ruth was in a mental institution to deal with that she was having a breakdown and she killed the man, they release her and she is still having the same issues. She goes around killing men that look similar to the man that attacked her.

Love how easy it is to find Ruth once we get to the ending. Jack cares so much about Ruth but two seconds talking to someone else and he is telling everything to Amanda. Like why? What is his reasoning to help them when he doesn't even know them?

Get the fuck out of here! Billy is the blue eyed killer!!! Hahahahahahaha hahahaha! Seriously are you kidding me!??? What a soap opera ending if I have ever heard of one! Okay okay.
<i>"He kept them open. His thumb and forefinger touched the eyeballs and then gently pinched, sweeping out the contact lenses. His brown eyes were gone. In their place, a pair of dead blue eyes stared through the gate at her."</i>
Is that the only feature that really made him stand out? So he just kept walking around with the contact lens with the chance that he'd run into Ruth? Don't worry he can wip the contacts out in a second and throw in another pair in 5 seconds. Seriously who can do that? He's holding the case open too while doing this?

So Billy just happened to find Ruth (via a fake name & no photo of her) on the internet. Also Ruth mentions never meeting targets in person but she goes to support groups and meets people in person. Am I missing something? What makes online targets different from in person targets? Upon hearing the blue eyed man was behind it all I kept thinking that why did he even need Amanda? He had the files and could have found her himself. Why would he think to keep waiting outside the house? How did he know that she would never let Frank live and couldn't move on?

So Billy tried this hard to get to her just so he have her recommited to the hospital? What's the point??

We learn that Amanda does art but did we ever learn that from her past?

We learn that Frank Quinn was a money launderer so I suppose at this point Farrow is just going to let Amanda go with murdering him after they find his Dna. Thing is though how can they do that since Farrow isn't the only one that knows this. Yep, she gets away with murder.

Amanda goes to a concert for Dolly Parton and just on chance Farrow has a CD from her in his car he puts on. Such chance!

Amanda gets a letter from Billy saying he needed Amanda as a buffer to get to Ruth and to get away from the police. I mean the police didn't even know who he was. He then says he killed Croan (he confessed to killing her daughter). Billy then explains that he lied about who he really was. So yeah, she doesn't care about who is or why he lied. Or even why he wanted to get close to Ruth. None of that matters to Amanda because now Croan is dead and she has a job. She got away with a murder and helped a murderer (she doesn't know that Billy is the real blue eye killer). At the end of the day I'm so confused why Billy even cared about Amanda enough to want to help her and let her live. She burns the letter.

<b>Final Thoughts:</b>
The writing was pleasing and the story was very emotional, but it just missed the mark for me to get to a 5 star. It deals with so much grieving and loss that it wears on your heart at times.

There has been such a resurgence for the book/movie of Strangers on a Train and they all feel so similar that it feels boring. This book followed in the way that Naomi rushes Ruth into doing a murder asap and it does change how things normally have went in retellings.

A big disappointment for me in this book was I feel like I barely got to know Amanda. Her story is almost passed over for other characters. It's all pretty vague on her family life before the death of her family.

Also it felt the characters were too similar to one another. Amanda and Ruth both have husbands that died by suicide. Their tone when reading the book was so similar that when I would switch between audiobook to reading the book I found the characters got confusing if I was sure of the name for each chapter.

It drove me up the wall that the book makes out like Amanda is a victim of the innocent man she killed just because he was a not so great person. I mean he wasn't a killer like Amanda he was a money launderer so I'd dare say Amanda is the worse of the two. She keeps talking about it like was tricked into this but she talked all night about doing it and even the next day was trying to get ahold of Naomi to confirm that it was what they were doing. She's worried she'll have jail time but she should have jail time - she should be charged with <s>attempted</s> murder. I don't care if the man defended himself because she broke in and she was holding an axe.

This book was missing so much. Things happened where I just kept wondering if there really were only two police officers in the book/town. I think the only way you'd get caught in this town is turning yourself in.

It felt the things that did happen made little sense. Still completely lost on why Billy was so motivated to find Ruth when he did nothing to her. Also how he easy he was able to find her on the internet. Like the internet! He was able to find her on a forum by searching for her when he didn't know her name she even used. It all seemed so far past the realm of reality.

<small><b>Thanks to Netgalley and Atria books for this advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Two devastated mothers meet at a support group for grieving parents and meet later for drinks. During this meeting they both express their feelings about their daughters killers, who have so far never been charged due to not enough evidence. Amanda and Naomi become friends until one of then mentions the movie Strangers on a Train and thus their plans begin. Meanwhile across town Ruth is woken up by a noise and thinking it's her husband coming home, goes downstairs to see a man behind her in the broken window. Waking in the hospital Ruth learns of her attempted murder and becomes terrified of men with blue eyes. Her husband Scott tries to help but her fear is overtaking her life. Eventually they meet in a terrifying ending.
This book had it all for me, I went through a range of emotions from fear to anger and desperately wanted to help them all get justice. I wasn't expecting the ending at all and was surprised and disappointed that they all didn't get their justice but I would recommend the book to everyone. Thanks Netgalley and Atria Publisher for allowing me to read the arc of this book and I will be looking for this author again.
