I really enjoyed this book! So much so that I bought a physical copy right after finishing it for my mom to read. It was such an entertaining, fast-paced thriller with several twists and turns. If you’re looking for a believable, could happen in real life story line you won’t find that here. Many parts of it are theatrical and a little over the top but it worked for me!

Oh my!! What a ride!! This book was full of incredible twists that had me gasping outloud several times.

Steve Cavanagh is back with Kill For Me, Kill For You which is another 5 star read for me and I was really sorry when this book ended. Every time I thought it was done and I’d figured it out, Cavanagh would throw another mind blowing twist in.

In this psychological thriller, two strangers meet and make a pact to kill for each other in the vein of Hitchcock’s movie, Strangers on a Train.

And then the craziness starts!

I couldn’t wait to get back to this book each night after work. I highly recommend this if you’re a fan of crime and twisty tales.

*Thanks so much to Atria Books and to NetGalley for the gifted eGalley!*

KILL FOR ME, KILL FOR YOU is a great binge read that kept me on the edge of my seat from page one. I really liked how this book delves into the things people are willing to do for vengeance and revenge. I went into this book mostly blind and I think that definitely added to my enjoyment. Cavanagh alternates the chapters between multiple women's perspectives and a detective trying to help all their cases out. I really liked how that slowly helped me piece everything together. The ending definitely took me by surprise and I am really looking forward to chatting about this one with PM Reads!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful stand alone thriller by Steve Cavanagh - 5 stars!

Amanda is grieving the loss of her daughter and husband. The police are unable to pin her daughter's murder on the suspect, and Amanda can't rest until he pays for what he did. When she meets Wendy at a grief support group, they form an alliance. Just like in the movie, Strangers on a Train, they come up with a foolproof plan to enact their revenge against the men that destroyed their lives. In another part of the city. Ruth is viciously attacked in her home by a man with startling blue eyes. She is left traumatized, affecting every part of her life.

This book was pitch perfect. Told from multiple POV, each chapter ended with a cliff hanger that kept me turning the pages as fast as I could. All the storylines converged in a perfect way and I never saw any of the twists coming. And that ending! Whew! This is an absolute must read thriller!

Thanks to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Atria Thrillers for this copy of "Kill for Me, Kill for You."

A thrilling rollercoaster of a book with so many unexpected twists. I finished it in one day since I couldn't stop reading.

Amanda and Wendy meet at a grief group counseling session and later talk about swapping murders for each other like Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train." But there the comparison ends.

A relentless and caring detective threads through these characters' lives that have been wrecked by tragedy and loss.

Wow!! What did I just read?! I couldn’t put this book down!! Move this book up your TBR list ASAP! I found myself staying up way past my bedtime to finish it. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this incredible book! I will definitely be sharing it with all of my fellow book lovers!

I enjoyed this wild fast paced thriller filled with twists and turns. I have never read anything by author Steve Cavanaugh and I was pleasantly surprised. The story is told using alternating perspectives. It started getting confusing halfway through because one character used multiple aliases but once I realized what was happening, it got better. Read this if you enjoy a fast paced thriller with twists and turns you don’t see coming!
I received an advanced electronic copy from publisher Atria Books and Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview this book

This book takes the Strangers on a Train story to a whole new level! Amanda has lost both her daughter and her husband to violence. She is going to a therapy group but all she wants is revenge and when she has a get together with another woman from the group she offers up a plan. Then there’s Ruth, she was attacked in her home while her husband was out and her attacker is still out there. Ruth will never be able to find peace until the man with the blue eyes is gone for good. How these storylines merge is insane and well worth the read! I thank Netgalley and Atria Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Wow….This book had a lot going on. I loved the multiple POV in a masterfully interwoven story. It was very fast paced to about 50% then it slowed down only to pick up speed racing to the finish! This book grabbed me and never let go.!

A super quick and bingeworthy read if there ever was one!

The premise of this is very Strangers on a Train with two seemingly random women, Amanda and Wendy, who meet and make a pact to kill for each other. Both women have had a child taken from them and they seek revenge on the men who caused them this suffering and pain yet got off without consequence. Then there’s also Ruth who was nearly killed when she was the victim of home invasion perpetrated by a man with blue eyes. Told in alternating POVs of these three women, this book is about vengeance and the lengths you would go to get your peace back.

The story hooked me from the beginning because I found the premise to be so fun and things started off and escalated pretty quickly. And once it began, it was nearly impossible to put down. I did enjoy each women’s narrative because you got to learn more about their backgrounds and get some insight into the minds and how they were handling their situations.

It’s paced so well and had its fair share of twists and “oooh” moments that kept me on the edge of my seat because it was just so intense! A few of those surprises in particular are ones I didn’t see coming, but I think the author did a great job of implementing them.

The ending was also quite action packed and while parts were maybe a tad unbelievable and predictable, it ultimately made for an awesome showdown with some psychological elements. Plus it really makes you sit back and think about justice and vengeance.

Overall, it was quite the ride from start to finish and I’m always eager to see what this author will put out next!

Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / Pages: 351 / Genre: Psychological Thriller

If you’re looking for a crazy, twisty thriller that you just can’t put down, this is it. Book a long flight or curl up in bed for a weekend and let the binging begin. Don’t even read the summary. If you like murder, vengeance, and justice, you’ll like this. Like really like it. I really really liked it.

Thank you, @NetGalley, @AtriaBooks, and @sscav for my gifted copy. I absolutely loved it!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. And this was the best thriller. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. It's a must read.

Doing a deep dive into a mother/wife's heavy burden with grief, after loosing those she cared for most. Amanda has nothing left to loose, and she is ready to act on her darkest desires of revenge. Meeting Wendy was by chance and the plan they concoct may be unforgivable but something has to be done. With a corrupt justice system, things are left up to them. Together they decide...

Kill for me and I'll kill for you.

"Losing a loved one to violence provokes a response. There are two common responses: either they don't want anyone to ever hurt like they do, or they want everyone to hurt like they do."

I'm sorry, WHAT?
Cavanagh really did that.

I was only one chapter in and I already knew this was going to be everything. Holy cow it did not disappoint. Kill For Me Kill For You is a remarkable true psychological thriller. Definitely one that deserves to be at the top

The character development was absolute perfection. Connecting you to these characters through sympathy and understanding. Their actions instantly becoming your top priority.

The suspense will have you gripping the edge of your seat with anticipation the deeper you get into the plot. Making it very easy to fly through but very difficult to sit down.

And the twists. Oh man, they were defenitly twisting. It holds that special shock factor that will leave you in absolute disbelief. Im still having trouble grasping ahold of the things it made me believe and feel.

OOFTA, it is so good. I don't make the rules but I defenitly think you should go read it, like RIGHT NOW.

A huge thank you to Steve Cavanagh, @simonandschuster and @netgalley for the early peek into Amanda, Wendy and Ruth's lives. It was defenitly a killer time. 🖤

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC of Kill For me, Kill For You! This book was so good! Ever since I finished it, nothing compares to its unputdownable power! I’m going to have to check out more Steve Cavanagh books now, I predict this will be the thriller of the year.

Well done Mr. Cavanagh, well done! Kill for Me, Kill for You is a modern spin on the classic novel Strangers on a Train (if you couldn't tell by the title). I get a little apprehensive going into books like this because I always wonder how someone could retell a story and A) keep it close enough to the original to call it a retelling and B) make it unique enough to breathe new life into it. I felt the same way going into Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing but that book ended up blowing me away! Kill For Me, Kill For You was just as pleasing, and Cavanagh did a great job with both A and B above!

The premise of this one is exactly as the title implies, and it sticks to the original plot point of Strangers on a Train. But then it really goes off the deep end. When the first big twist hit, I laughed out loud because I knew it was going to be a fun ride, and boy was it ever! I really loved this modern take on the classic story, but I don't feel as if there is anything else I can say without giving anything away. If you haven't read the original yet, I do recommend it. But whether you have or not, I think any thriller lover would enjoy this one!

I received a free digital copy of Kill for Me, Kill for You in exchange for my honest review. All onions are my own.

This was my first Steve Cavanagh book and I really enjoyed it! I wasn’t sure how the two story lines were going to come together at first but I liked how it was handled. I saw one twist coming but the other one was a complete surprise. I definitely look forward to reading more of his backlist.

This was my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it. Definitely will be picking up more of his work!

Wow wow wow!! This is the “it” book and for good reason! Pulls you in from the get go and it’s a wild ride from there. Old school thriller with a current vibe. Do not miss this one!

Wow! This book was amazing! My first book by Steve Cavnagh. It was instantly gripping, intense, and hard to put down! I thought the premise was unique and was awed by how well thought out this book was. Steve Cavanagh had me on the edge of my seat with continuous reading to find out what happened next. The twists were jaw dropping that I did not see coming. This book is well written and well thought out. I am excited to read another Steve Cavanagh book!

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Now that my friends, was a thriller! I could not put this book down. The short chapters with varying points of views and storylines (which I love) all left me hanging! I was just itching to find out what happened with each cliffhanger. I loved how the stories merged and the culmination just was jaw dropping! Chefs kiss to this thriller! 5 stars, I’ll be thinking about this one 🙌

This was my March BOTM and they nailed it.
