Slaying You by Michelle Gagnon is the second book in her Amber Jamison novel series. Slaying You picks up about a year after the first book Killing Me ends. Amber is now in a relationship, she's finished college and is starting grad school soon. Back in Vegas Dot is getting married and Amber is invited to the wedding. Amber is hopeful that her return to Vegas will be champagne, dancing, and spending time with her friends -- no murders please! Unfortunately, women start disappearing shortly after they arrive and Amber, Dot, Grace and the rest of the gang are back on the case to figure out who is hurting women in Las Vegas, once again.

Killing Me and Slaying You are fun, fast paced thriller novels with not too much gore and a lot of lightheartedness despite the story material. Gagnon does a fantastic job writing diverse characters and there is a ton of LGBTQIA+ representation in these books which I think adds so much to the story. It's refreshing to have queer main characters in the thriller genre! The writing is witty and the character's had very distinct dialogues/language which I feel can be hard to do. Gagnon's character's feel like old friends, and I hope there are more books to come in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Putnam Books for the advanced read copy in exchange for my honest review.

I loved Gagnon’s first book in this series and book 2 did not disappoint. I love Amber’s personality and it’s so fun to see what she’ll get up to with her friends. This was a very fun cat-and-mouse game and I was hanging along for the ride the whole time!

This was a strong sequel in the Amber Jamison series, it had that overall feel that I was looking for and enjoyed getting back to this series. I enjoyed the use of a serial killer and the suspense of the story. Michelle Gagnon had me from the first page and was invested in what was going on. I really enjoyed what I read and am glad I got to read this, I'm hoping the series will continue as this has been a great read.

This cover is outstanding, and it drew me in! I wanted more from the story but overall it didn't match my tastes. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This one was not for me. The storyline didn’t flow well and I could not connect with the characters.
