Imagine getting taken by a serial killer, getting rescued, going on the run from the FBI and then finding yourself trying to take down another serial killer. I was gripped from the get go with this funny, fast paced vigilante plot.

The story is mainly told by Amber, with some interlude chapters. There’s a nice set of side characters that Amber meets along the way. Overall, this was quite a ride that I never wanted to end. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

I was able to listen to an audio copy as well. The narrator did a fine job.

Book blurb:

Utterly original and wildly entertaining, with a protagonist whose life is a total mess, Killing Me is the laugh-out-loud funny thriller we never knew we needed.

She escaped a serial killer. Then things got weird.

Amber Jamison cannot believe sheā€™s about to become the latest victim of a serial killerā€”sheā€™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 sheā€™s miraculously saved by a mysterious womanā€¦who promptly disappears. Who was she? And why is she hunting serial killers?
Youā€™d think escaping one psychopath would be enough, but Amberā€™s problems are just beginning. Her close call has law enforcement circling a past sheā€™s tried to outrun. So sheā€™s forced to 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. Sheā€™s landed in the crosshairs of the worldā€™s most prolific killer, caught up in a deadly game thatā€™s been going on for years. To survive, she’s forced to dust off her old playbook and partner with someone she canā€™t trust. The odds are against her, but sometimes you just have to roll the dice.
