Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book. The premise is exciting and the opening pages pulled me right in. Unfortunately, however, the story began to spiral in a bad way. The characters are unlikable and I hate how fake the main one is of all with her neoliberalism. The pacing is off and it became incredibly boring. I quit reading after chapter 6.

This book is amazing! I loved the story, the writing, and the main character named Hannah. Hannah begins writing to William who has been arrested for killing four women. Hannah attends his trial and is surprised he is acquitted of the crimes.

Their relationship turns into an engagement as Hannah continues to be suspicious of William. Did he really murder four women? The writing is excellent! So many parts of the book are worthy of underlining.

William's brother Bentley seems to cause some issues between Hannah and William. "If you want my advice, I would leave. Get out of here. Go home and find yourself a nice, normal boyfriend. Forget about my brother."

Hannah questions everything! Here are Hannah's words, "I know, however, that regardless of what happens, whatever is between William and me in this exact moment cannot last. After all, it was always the killer I wanted and not the savior."

The ending is a "wow moment!" This story can continue with the last unveiling, and I hope it does!

Risky Territory, Obsession, and That Ending! 5 Stars and I highly recommend this book!

Many thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy. This outstanding book will be released 6/25/24.

3.8

Ahhh. I have mixed emotions! I am a thriller/who done it lover. I went into this because I was a little skeptical about a book presumably about a character falling in love with a serial killer so I hoped for the latter. I liked the approach it took and how it got to the reveal. Although it was easy to figure out the how and why I was still invested for it to finally just say it!

The FMC, Hannah, made me want to slam my head against a wall but at the same time that’s also what made me want to keep reading?? Almost like you can’t look away from a train wreck?

Overall though I did enjoy this one. 3.5

While I really wanted to love this book (the concept was amazing) the over the top wild ultimately became too much for me. It’s a shame because I really was hooked for a large part of the book. The ending however felt rushed, and tipped into poor fanfiction, CW TV show writing. Not to spoil it but the ending is really what did me in and knocked this down to three stars. It’s good if you want a binge able easy read and are prepared for it to tank and get weird the last three chapters.

This was such a fun read, and it was exactly what I expected. The story was fast-paced, thrilling, and the characters were great.

First I would like to thank the author and publisher for the arc of “Love letters to a serial killer”

I didn’t really know what to expect from this book when i started reading it but I really enjoyed this book! Although i kind of knew where it was headed and what would happen, i still couldn't put the book down.

The one thing that really surprised me was the end. The last paragraph threw me for a loop, I definitely was not expecting that.

Overall i would give it a 4/5! I’ll definitely recommend this book to people!

First, thank you to Berkley Publishing Group and Net Galley for the ARC. This novel publishes on June 25, 2024.

Second, add this book to your TBR now. I loved this story. Super twisty, super witty, and so fun to read. I was expecting more of letters back and forth writing but the author chose to mix in current storyline events along with the letters. The foreshadowing was also *chefs kiss*. The FMC is not the most lovable character out there, but the only other option is a serial killer so you kinda have to love her.

I cannot wait to see how successful this book is once published.

Review posted to Net Galley and GoodReads.

I was so stoked to receive this galley for review. It’s a funny take on romance, and the story is sublime. If you love true crime and romance this is definitely the book for you. Will look out for other titles from Tasha.

Wow! This is a book like no other book that I have read. It was fun, shocking, and a bit dark. I can't say that I liked Hannah all that much, but she was genuine and honest. Her desire to be involved with a serial killer is both deranged and intriguing. It's so hard to put this book down as you are invested from the very beginning. For those that like true crime this is a must read!

Oh! This was such a fun read! It game me "So I Married an Ax Murderer Vibes" but was more modern. I didn't expect this one to be the gem that it is but now I'm aching for more books by the author!

I loved this one. It grabbed my attention from the beginning. I love the writing style from the author. The ending left me in shock and wanting more. I hope that we get a part 2. I would love to know how Hannah loves her life moving forward.

This book surprised me! I truly enjoyed it. This is a captivating and easy read that I couldn’t put down. I would recommend this for those who love thrillers and true crime! This book follows Hannah who is stuck going through the motions of life, and finds a new interest in true crime that truly takes over her life. She ends up writing letters to an accused serial killer and things take a turn for the worst when the verdict is non-guilty. Definitely not your typical love story!

“For a week and a half, I’d been a passionate advocate for all the missing women in the world, and I hadn’t managed to change a thing. What a disappointment it all was.”

The snark in this book was off the charts. And I loved every second of it. Hannah was incredibly easy to relate to. How many of us find ourself in jobs that we hate and that hate us in return? It’s probably why true crime is as popular as it is. As an advocate in real life for victims and their families, I found this book to be a humorous relief that was incredibly on point.

Hannah is all of us.

Though I will say that the ending felt a bit rushed- I still enjoyed the book IMMENSELY. 100% Love Letters to a Serial Killer will be on of this summer’s best beach reads.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a super fun read, with characters who I didn't think I'd end up loving as much as I did. Hannah was, in a word, unhinged, but because the story had so many unexpected twists and turns I was invested the whole way through. I wish the mystery element (who the killer is) hadn't been as predictable as it was for me, but nonetheless I was engaged with the story and was eager to get to the end to see how it all played out.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this title! These are my honest thoughts.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC. This was so enjoyable! It was a refreshing take on the thriller genre - I can't say I've read anything similar to this. I liked the portrayal of all of the characters in the beginning. The first half of this book was actually so fun, no flaws, just a great time.

I went through a slump somewhere in the second half when we explored their relationship a bit more. It seemed a bit surface level. I didn't understand what their feelings were based on or what their interactions were like, since they were so sparsely described. I also thought the ending was a bit easy to guess, but I'm not sure if that was maybe by design. That doesn't usually hinder my enjoyment of a novel, and it didn't here, but it would've been nice to have a big plot twist.

Overall it was a fun, slightly campy read! Looking forward to publication!

Well, well, well. A protagonist you hate to love and shake your head at until the very end. This book was so fun to read and laugh at - a book about writing to a serial killer isn’t something you read everyday.!!

This book reminds me a lot of So I Married an Axe Murderer- The FMC is obsessed with true crime and serial killers, and conveniently is going through a breakup when women start disappearing and being found dead in a ravine. She joins an online forum discussing the murders, and when they have a suspect, she becomes infatuated with him, so much that she writes him letters while he’s in prison. It gets wild and it is 100% satire of a scenario in which the crime podcast obsessed women take it too far and find pleasure in the thrill of it all. The ending was predictable but I think that was on purpose- for irony. I enjoyed it a lot! If this title piques your interest, grab this one in June!

In order to like this book, you have to move past the fact that both main characters - Hannah and William - are not likable. William is accused of being a serial killer, and Hannah, who has been fired from her job, has become obsessed with the case and with William.

Hannah and William's letters make up some of this book, but then Hannah attends William's trial, and he's eventually acquitted. Suddenly, Hannah's free to be with her new "boyfriend" who may or may not be innocent after all.

As you might suspect, this isn't your typical "thriller" or "suspense," although there is a twist at the end. There's a bit of romance, which I typically do not care for, so this was a different sort of book for me.

But I found it to be a fast, enjoyable read that I can recommend to those who enjoy true crime or suspense.

This book was so unhinged, in the best way.

Hannah is boy crazy - in an “obsessive over any man she comes into contact with desperate” way. She starts getting invested in a string of murders and once the man behind them is arrested, she finds her writing to him and falling in love. And the crazy train just keeps going, with so many odd twists and turns. I could not put this book down and the ending actually really surprised me. I really enjoyed this!!

I really enjoyed this book. I thought Hannah as a protagonist was relatable especially at the start of the book. In the world today we know how easy it is to get sucked into true crime and following forums and such, however, once she started writing to William it took a little turn. Although, I was still invested in the book Hannah became less likeable which is fine I still wanted to know where the book was going. I thought the killer was a little obvious and knew who it was early on, but that typically doesn't bother me. I think the only reason I couldn't rate this book 5 stars is that Hannah never redeemed herself.
