This book was pretty creative and entertaining, more so after you got through all the necessary backstory and the puzzle pieces started coming together. I also enjoyed the multiple POVs and timelines. I think this was the first time ever that I’ve ever correctly guessed a major plot twist!

Thank you to the author, Atria Books, and NetGalley for the e-galley. Also purchased a BOTM edition for March 2024!

This was my first book by the author. Really intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. The writing was spectacular.

I was super excited to get approved for this book on Netgalley prior to release date! Unfortunately, life got in the way and I wasn't able to read it in the week before it was released. Nonetheless, I still wanted to get my review out there. The premise of this book, to commit a murder for someone else while they do the same for you, was intriguing to me. As there were essentially 3 characters from the beginning, I was confused how the 3rd person fit into the storyline. But as the twists and turns were revealed, I realized how the stories were intertwined and it really was remarkable how the author slowly allowed you to connect the dots. I couldn't put this book down and had to know what happened next. The ending twist left me with my jaw on the floor and an uneasy feeling. It honestly was a little much for me and didn't necessarily feel like justice was served. While I'll admit it was a good twist, the ending is my reason for the 4 stars. I'm not sure if it was the delivery or the scenario itself; I can't quite put my finger on it. I just wasn't a huge fan of the ending. But I did thoroughly enjoy the book and would definitely recommend it to others.

Pretty good for a thriller but I do find that it was overhyped so I did have high expectations. Still fun even though it’s a bit unbelievable at some parts. I did call a few things that happened but it didn’t bug me at all surprisingly. I enjoyed this overall!

Thank you to Netgary for an advanced copy of this book!

This book genuinely needs to be a movie. The plot is so fast-moving you don't have time to even guess what's actually happening and how the story will unfold. I absolutely recommend it for people who love thrillers. Where it lost me a bit was how out there some of the scenarios ended up being. Some people love that but it's just not something I personally love in a book.

Superb! Had me on the edge of my seat the entire story. How did all these characters fit together? Great ending.

An edge of your seat thriller where two women meet after huge losses in their lives. They need to find solace somewhere- and that seems to be in revenge. They agree to seek revenge for the other person. What could be a rather predictable endgame has twist after twist and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This one begs the questions - how far will you go and whom do you trust? Huge thanks to NetGalley for this delight!

This is one of those books that literally had me hooked from the first line. Wow! Kill for Me, Kill for You is a new take on a classic, Strangers on a Train, but with a different twist that you won't see coming. I was so eager to find out how the different POVs would collide together. I flew through this one. If you're looking for a fast-paced page turner, this is a good one.

Trigger warnings for: suicide and death of a child.

Thank you @netgalley @atriabooks for the #gifted copy!

I absolutely loved this! From the first page, I was hooked, diving into a whirlwind of twists & turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The suspense was relentless, making it impossible to put down.

Listening to the audiobook was a fantastic experience, enhancing the story's depth with its dual timeline & gripping flashbacks. The narrators brought Ruth & Amanda to life, making their stories even more compelling.

Ruth & Amanda are unforgettable characters with intriguing & complex backgrounds. Their alternating chapters always left me wanting more, each ending with a cliffhanger that had me eagerly anticipating the next.

The way the two storylines intertwined was masterfully done, leading to a jaw-dropping revelation that left me gasping. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, shocks, & excitement that I couldn't read fast enough. It’s a must read for thriller fans, I highly recommend!!

Kill for me, kill for you is my first novel by Steve cavanagh and I most certainly will be reading more of his backlist. Fast paced, violent and absolutely intriguing. There were lots of twists and turns! Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an advanced reader copy.

I’ve been in a book slump lately and this book just really didn’t hit like I thought it would. It was too much and nothing st all going on at once. I couldn’t follow who was talking.

✦Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh✦
★★★★★ 5/5 stars!

✦ my thoughts
First, let me just say - if you haven’t already PUT THIS ON YOUR TBR IMMEDIATELY. The hype is real & well deserved. KFM,KFY may be the most unexpected & exciting thriller I’ve read this year!

The multiple POVs were so well written & easy to follow, & it was so interesting to see the story play out from every angle. I never could’ve guessed how they all connected.

The tension & suspense were palpable - reading this gave me so much anxiety my heart was racing! It’s rare that a book makes me audibly gasp. I can definitely see this playing out as a movie or limited series.

I was on the edge of my seat until the VERY LAST PAGE... You will be saying “just one more chapter” until you accidentally finished the whole book way past your bedtime (that can’t just be me, right?) And that ending?! Literally mind-blowing.

What a thrilling ride! This book takes you on a winding adventure that was so unexpected. While the main character is mourning her family she gets caught up with a friend who turns out to be less than truthful. As the two stories are shared you wonder how on earth they will intersect but when they do - wow! And the final twist too. I totally recommend this book.

Wow! This book was wonderfully addicting! It had amazing twists that I truly didn't see coming, and I was completely entertained from start to finish.

Kill for Me, Kill for You is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that follows two women and has multiple POV. Both women have had something happen to them that has destroyed their lives, and the men who committed these crimes have gone unpunished. Amanda's young daughter was kidnapped and murdered and Ruth was brutally attacked in her own home. Both women want revenge.

This book was amazing! If you're I the mood for a unique and twisty thriller, then I highly recommend this book.

Yooooo a new favorite thriller! Will for sure be recommending this one to friends. I did not guess even ONE of the plot twists. Obsessed.

Words can't describe how much I ended up loving this book! I will admit, the beginning did feel a little slow and I didn't find myself dying to pick this book up. But the I hit the 50% mark and couldn't stop. The twists and turns were phenomenal and I found myself with my jaw on the ground by the end!

This Strangers on a Train story had more twists and turns than a windy road! I was blown away by the ending and I still find myself going back to figure out what I missed. I usually describe the plot when reviewing books, but I don't want to give anything away. I will say this is a revenge story about loss and it will have you on the edge of your seat.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you so much @sscav @netgalley & @atriabooks for the eArc.

This is a story about strangers on a collision course.

I loved this! I’ve enjoyed the author’s past works so I’m not surprised that this one was great- but holy twists batman. I’m still thinking about the fantastic & unnerving ending.

The nods to Hitchcock's classic movie Strangers on a Train are just the first of the twists in this crime novel. Amanda, grieving both the murder of her daughter and then the death of her partner, is a very damaged character. Her grief takes her to dark places that are easily taken advantage of. The detective in this story is an excellent character with his extreme stubbornness and refusal to give up on the various cases he still has unsolved on his desk. The New York City setting adds to feeling of loneliness that grieving brings, even in a crowd where it becomes so easy to disappear. Overall, a very enjoyable read

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! This books was so good. The story was fast paced and a page turner. I didn’t want to stop reading. The characters were complicated and well developed. You spent a lot of the book rooting for the “bad” guys. Lots of twists and turns, highly recommend!
