Killing Me
Killing Me | Michelle Gagnon
Utterly original and wildly entertaining, with a protagonist whose life is a total mess, Killing Me is the laugh-out-loud funny thriller that we never knew we needed. She escaped a serial killer. Then things got weird. Amber Jamison cannot believe she's about to become the latest victim of a serial killer--she's savvy and street smart, so when she gets pushed into, of all things, a white windowless van, she's more angry than afraid. Things get even weirder when she's miraculously saved by a mysterious woman...who promptly disappears. Who was she? And why is she hunting serial killers? You'd think escaping one psychopath would be enough, but Amber's problems are just beginning. Her close call has law enforcement circling a past she's tried to outrun. So she flees across the country, ending up at a seedy motel in Las Vegas with a noir-obsessed manager and a sex worker as her unlikely companions...and danger right behind. She's landed in the crosshairs of the world's most prolific killer, caught up in a deadly game that's been going on for years. To survive, she's forced to dust off her old playbook and partner with someone she can't trust. The odds are against her, but sometimes you just have to roll the dice.

UNPUTDOWNABLE! Who knew a book about serial killers would be LOL hilarious but also a really good thriller!

Amber Jamison is a whole mess. When she gets kidnapped by a serial killer & is about to be murdered she is upset with herself that it happened to her. Her snark made me snort laugh so much!
But luckily (or maybe not so lucky) she gets saved. And things just get weirder and weirder from there and the twisty tale of a thriller ride begins!

I loved this book. The characters were snarky and fun to read. The serial killer mystery was interesting and the supporting characters were great. The killer was truly evil and was a good adversary. I enjoyed this very much.

This one was recommended to me by a trusted bookseller and it didn‘t disappoint. I loved the dynamics of the characters and how this community of Vegas locals had their network established to be able to get things handled. I even went right along with the potential twist, unsure how things would turn out. This was a fun quick read and I‘d suggest it for anybody who likes murder road vigilante type stories.

Amber is rescued from a serial killer by a mysterious woman, who kills the man during the rescue. Amber is then pushed back into her previous life in an effort to avoid law enforcement and ends up enmeshed with her rescuer. This is both a good thriller and a very funny book, and I loved that combination. I will for sure be looking for more from Gagnon.

Until something awful happened and she decided to go straight. Now, Amber finds herself in the back of a serial killer‘s van. Miraculously, she is saved by a mysterious woman. Amber finds herself in Vegas next making friends but getting into trouble even more trouble. It seems to find her. Crazy/fun

Delicious, dark, & funny. This story follows a former con turned turner psych major about to graduate when a serial killer abducts her. And it only gets crazier from there. Filled with fantastically funny characters, and a few twisted dark ones too, I loved this mystery set in Vegas with nods to noir, cinema, and a whole lot of queer hijinks. Can‘t wait for the next one! @AllDebooks #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #netgalleygroup #NGGSummerSmashup

I liked this book more than I thought I would!
Reformed con-woman Amber manages to escape the clutches of a serial killer with the help of a mystery woman, just to find herself caught in the sights of yet another serial killer.
Teaming up with the unofficial queen of Vegas, a sex worker, and a vigilante, Amber reluctantly turns the hunt on her hunter.
Also, surprisingly funny.

4½⭐
I didn‘t know a serial-killer thriller could be funny…but this one totally was. It was also entertaining AF. If you like a good serial killer thriller that changes things up a bit, then this might work for you. It also gave me Finlay Donovan vibes. With superb narration by Jaime Lamchick.

The humor in this hit me exactly right, but it‘s not for everyone! The serial killer of the tagline is the cause of a lot of “I can‘t believe I‘m going to be killed by THIS loser!” self-deprecating inner monologue at the start. Post-escape, the protag goes to Vegas, meets interesting people, and brings a different serial killer to their door. If “funny” & “serial killer” can coexist in the same book for you, well, I enjoyed it! #ARC
