I loved this one. It's probably one of the best thrillers I've read this year and now I'm anxious to start the authors upcoming release! I highly recommend it.

This was an awesome thriller! I rarely come across any these days. The characters are good and the plot twists are even better.

We have Amanda. She just suffered the tragedy of her daughters’ murder and then the subsequent death of her husband at his own hand. Not knowing how to move on, she seeks the only closure she can think of- the death of the man that caused her pain.

In comes Wendy. Amanda forms a bond with her after a group therapy session followed by a night out drinking. A plan is hatched that benefits them both. Amanda will kill the man that raped and murdered Wendy’s daughter, while Wendy kills the man responsible for Amanda’s. Alibi’s will be in place. No one will be able to trace the murder back to either of them since they have no connection to the one they killed. What could go wrong?

Meanwhile, Ruth is targeted in a home invasion by a known serial killer. She barely survives. No longer feeling safe in the cruel world surrounding her, she has to do something…

And then there’s Farrow, the detective giving you all the insight to the forensic side of things.

This book took so many turns that I wasn’t expecting. I thought these girls would do murder, get away with it, then walk into the sunset. No way did that happen. Multiple point of views and many murders all collide into one great fast-paced story I couldn’t put down. This lived up to expectations and I definitely recommend if you’re out there looking for a good thriller palate cleanser. 4.5 stars rounded down.

A great thank you goes out to Steve Cavanagh, Atria Books, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Steve Cavanagh knows how to write the best thriller ever. I was so invested in this novel that I didn't want to put it down. I delighted in all the "gotcha" reveals and the plot twists.
I will continue to read this author and I look forward to his next book.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Wow, what a ride!!! Kill For Me, Kill For You had an amazing amount of twists and turns. Some I was kind of expecting but many I never saw coming. I’m not sure how to review without giving away something so here is my advice- don’t start it when you have a lot of plans.

I’ve been really distracted lately with life stuff which has made concentrating on reading a bit hard. This one starts off pretty slowly tbh …. But it does still pull you in and about a third of the way thru, the twists keep on coming - not necessarily unexpected but definitely takes the story in a different place than you originally assume it will ; although the ending … I definitely didn’t see coming !


My rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫

This book was definitely a slow burn thriller but the plot was so interesting I didn’t mind and the twist, blew my mind. It wasn’t even a thought I had. I will definitely be reading more of the authors works.

I LOVED this book! It’s the first book in a long time that made me gasp out loud. I don’t want to say much about it - just READ IT!! It is FANTASTIC!

This book was a classic thriller but had a vibe to it that made it modern and sleek. I appreciated the multiple POVs and twists and turns. This was a 4.5 out of 5 stars for me! Steve Cavanaugh is an excellent writer and I look forward to reading more.

I wasn’t sure about this one y’all. I almost DNFed. I reached out to a couple folks and they said to stick with it and ultimately, I’m glad I did!
The beginning is very sad, to set up the rest of the book. We meet several women whose life has been derailed by loss and they are ravaged with grief and rage. If it had kept going this way I would have DNFed. BUT there’s a plot twist! And then the whole tone changes and it’s a thriller about murder and deception. Then I was way more interested and thought it all pulled together and ended really cleverly.

This thriller had me completely hooked from start to finish. The suspense was so well-crafted, with each chapter revealing just enough to keep me wanting more. The mystery unraveled at the perfect pace, and I loved the secrets and twists that came out of nowhere, keeping me on edge the whole time. Even though I’m not usually drawn to revenge plots, this one was so well done that I couldn’t help but be absorbed in it. The characters felt real and complex, with hidden motives that kept me constantly guessing.

The atmosphere throughout was absolutely gripping—dark, tense, and full of anticipation. Every twist came at just the right moment, adding to the unpredictability without ever feeling over the top. I loved how everything connected without being too obvious. The characters’ decisions, while sometimes frustrating, always made sense in the larger context of the story, which kept everything feeling grounded and believable. The story just kept building in intensity, and I was fully invested all the way through.

What really made this book special for me was how consistently engaging it was from beginning to end. Every part of the story felt deliberate, and the suspense never let up. After finishing, I couldn’t stop talking about it with my friends—it’s rare for a thriller to get everything right like this, and it left me thinking about it long after I turned the last page.

Angela is lost after her young daughter is murdered and her husband commits suicide. She starts stalking the man she and the police think did it. He has never been convicted and walks free so she makes it her mission to follow him and kill him. Things happen and she gets convicted of disobeying a restraining order. She is ordered to go to a group for parents of murdered children. There she meets Wendy and they plot a "Strangers on the Train" situation. They will kill the person that murdered the other person's child. People aren't always what they seem though.

As we learn about those two women, we also learn about Ruth who is stabbed and left for dead in her own home. She becomes so paranoid and is on the lookout for any man with those blue eyes she remembers. There may be more than one serial killer!

It all comes together when Angela meets Billy, who was also stung by Wendy. They try to stop her from hurting another person or family. And then BOOM! we are thrown the biggest twist that I did not see coming at all! "Hello Sweetheart"

Such a good read that will keep you involved all along with its twists and turns and that final twist! Definitely a must read for thriller fans.

Thanks to Netgalley and Atria for this book for review.

This is another superb offering from Steve Cavanagh. The premise of this novel is two seemingly unrelated individuals find one another to murder the men that have ruined their lives. They concoct the perfect crimes that will never lead back to themselves. What could possibly go wrong? This book is layered and highly suspenseful and full of twists and turns. Though the premise is laid out from the start there is so much that you will not see coming in this book. Highly recommend to thriller readers. Will not disappoint!

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for a chance to read "Kill for Me, Kill for You" by Steve Cavanagh. Set in New York City, this psychological thriller is everything a mystery-reader wants to pick up. To make your heart race, Cavanagh's writing manages to make you forget you are even reading. This contemporary fiction book has the suspense to raise blood pressure. Action packed, a true page turner! I have purchased an ebook version but hope to one day own the physical copy too, so that I can have it sit proudly on my shelves and I can carry it with me everywhere to reread over and over. Too good! I would recommend this to all the adults.

A woman's husband and child are gone as a result of a kidnapping. She begs the police to arrest the person she believes is responsible, but they don't. Another woman is attacked in her home and after a long hospital stay, is released. Their paths cross with traumatic and surprising results.
A little homage to Strangers on a Train, but quite different!
I have some more of this author's books on my TBR, and I will definitely read them. Exciting and suspenseful.
