I really enjoyed The Serial Killer Support Group. It was full of suspense, drama, secrets, and twists.
I was hooked from the first chapter, I honestly couldn't put it down.
I loved Jess, Kelly, Maddie, and Hannah. They were all charismatic, smart, and brave.
The storyline is unique and interesting, and although there is another recent release with a very similar title, they couldn't be more different.
I loved the friendship and solidarity that the women shared. It had me firmly on their side, cheering them on.
This is the first book I've read from D.B. Stephens, and it definitely won't be the last.
I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next.
I highly recommend.
4 stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Serial Killer Support Group is a thrilling, darkly funny ride. Full of twists, unique characters, and plenty of suspense. D.B. Stephens nails the perfect mix of eerie tension and humor. A must-read for thriller fans!

Loved reading this one! Didn’t see what direction it was going at time, but it was a great ride. I loved the short chapters, the different POVs, the twists. I’d recommend!

Glad I had the chance to read this book, as it kept me turning the pages.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this ARC.

What a great book title! This was a pretty quick read for me, as the writing style was smooth and easy to read. I enjoyed it a lot!

Original, dark and a bit creepy. Loved it! Thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley. 5 well deserved stars.

I enjoyed this book and thought it wad a quick, easy read. Jess is an interesting character, and the plot kept me intrigued despite knowing who the killer was mid-way through the book. I wouldn’t consider this a mystery or thriller per se, but I am interested to see where the series goes. Thanks to NG and the publisher for the arc!

Jess is an abusive relationship with Lewis and it’s steadily getting worse .
It comes to a violent end and Jess has to attend hospital for her injuries , whilst there she is given a card with details of a support group for survivors of domestic abuse .
Jess is reluctant to attend or even leave the safety of her own home , but eventually she plucks up the courage and attends .
Little does she know that she will be exposed to more than just support at this group.
The legal system seems to have failed the women of the group and the cases have not been followed as they should have been.
There is a murderer who is taking revenge on male abusers he is known as the caretaker , the murderer is trying to get justice for the victims but not in a
legal and conventional way .
The members of the support groups ex partners are one by one getting murdered.
Who is the caretaker and can the police stop him before he kills again?
The writing makes for an easy read and the characters are likeable and they show their vulnerabilities .
This book is a different and enjoyable read which kept me guessing, and I hope we get a second visit to the serial killer support group.
Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter .

I really wanted to like this book, but it just wasn’t for me. The ending was too abrupt and I wanted more from the Detective Salam character.

Serial Killer Support Group was very unique -- it was quirky and smart but also kept me turning the page. I highly recommend for those who like Confessions and Final Girls.
Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. I appreciate it!

I love the recent trend for female fronted serial killer stories. A previous job of mine involved getting to know the stories of serial killers very well, my computer search history was atrocious because of this. One of the biggest reveals me during this time was that female serial killers were rare, and when they did happen it was usually as a reaction to life experiences such as male violence and neglect. More often than not female serial killers also tend to poison victims.
So the premise of this book drew me in, a woman fleeing a violent relationship, a support group for those like her, but they’re taking justice into their own hands. Except I found the pacing slow. The book was set up like the fact the support group were killing people off was some big reveal in the middle when we clearly already know that from the title and the blurb. It took until half way through to get to that point which I found frustrating.
Now don’t get me wrong the book is well written, the characters are well developed, but it’s written in a way that makes you feel like you should be guessing who’s doing the killing when you already know.
Despite being a decent story I think it could do with a retitle and a new blurb to hide the main plot point and actually make it a big reveal for the reader. It would improve the reading experience a lot.
If you’re into the female justice genre this is still worth a read, it just won’t have many surprises.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Jess has finally had enough of her abusive boyfriend Lewis. She makes the first step to leaving an abusive relationship and admits she's in danger. This leads Jess to realizing Lewis has pushed her from everyone she loved just when she needs someone the most. Jess ends up at a support group for woman of abuse where she meets woman like her and finds a great support system. However, someone is killing the abusers of the woman of the support group and the group is at the center.
The story is part wholesome with Jess getting her life back and making unbreakable bonds with the other people at the support group. The other is a murder mystery as you try to find out who the Caretaker is and whether he is a villain or a hero?

As someone who enjoys to piece together mysteries and try to solve it before the book is finished, I got a little upset when I couldn’t guess it because you are misled in a way. Never the less, this was a great mystery thriller. Who can resist a book with a title like that? Clearly not me lol. I think one of the main things I didn’t care for too much in this book was that towards the end I felt like everything was moving too quickly and I didn’t really have the chance to be on the edge of my seat if that makes sense. However, throughout the rest of the book, I think it was great work.

With a title like this, how can people not want to pick up this book?
The Serial Killer Support Group follows women who have been victims of domestic abuse. The group gives the women comfort in sharing their stories as most have been failed by the justice system.
It appears that someone is targeting the men who have harmed the women in the group.
I loved the twists and turns of this book. Although it was a bit slow at times it is a fast paced book about revenge.

DB Stephens’ The Serial Killer Support Group rests on a brilliant, witty premise that hinges on the Millian utilitarian J.S. question: can murder ever serve the greater good? CrimeCom continues to win me over (see my post on How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie), and DB Stephens’ The Serial Killer Support Group only cements the genre’s appeal.
In a world where the “court of public opinion” holds sway and Luigi Mangione (the prime suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson) is hailed a hero are a group of domestic abuse survivors to be blamed?
The final chapters reveal hidden alliances and challenge our sympathies in unexpected ways. In the end, we’re left questioning not only the deciding factor of these survivors-turned-vigilantes but also our own boundaries of right and wrong.
I do wish each individual characters’ personalities and physical attributes were fleshed out more as sometimes it felt hard to picture them. This was most certainly more of a plot-driven story. Still, the story’s momentum never falters, and with the promise of a sequel on the horizon, I’m eager to see where Stephens takes these morally complex characters next. I am excited to pick up the story where it left off!
Thank you to NetGalley and ONE MORE CHAPTER for an ARC of The Serial Killer Support Group by DB Stephens.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

A support group meets and then the therapist leaves. These members are able to connect in wildly adventurous and thrilling ways. Good read!

When Jess Pendle agrees to attend a support group aimed at helping like minded people, she gets more than therapy.
This was a wonderfully conceived tale of vengeance. It was full of twists and suspense. Complete with fabulous female leads, it was an excellent read.

A bit repetitive but still very good! I enjoyed myself very much while reading this. I enjoyed the characters and the plot is well planned.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I couldn’t finish this one yet, life got in the way and I lost the vibe for it - but I plan to come back to it later on!

There were lots of twists and turns in this, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I really enjoyed this story
