There are support groups for many people needing to find their way but one for serial killers? 

When Cyra's younger sister is murdered, her lack of trust in the police department has her heading off on her own path. She decides to become imbedded within this group as a fellow killer to find the killer and get her revenge.

The background of her new colleagues and the sharing of their own stories brings her closer into the group of scary misfits. is she endangering herself by becoming so involved?

All the twists, discovering more about her sister's life, and Cyra's persistence  keeps this creepy tale moving along.

The narrator gave each character a mental image for the listener

I think this audio was more difficult for me to enjoy since I tried to listen while riding the subway and without having a print copy handy to follow along. I was interested in the concept of trying to smoke out the killer, but since listening with so much background noise I am sure I missed all the good bits that would have made it come together and make sense. My girlfriend raved about it and encouraged me to request it, so please know this was 100% me choosing a bad time to listen vs the book. Hoping many will check it out and help support this new author, looks like they already have another book on it's way to print! Thanks to NetGalley for the ALC.

I went into this book thinking it would be similar to the Ruinous Love series but it was not. I was intrigued enough to keep reading but it fell flat for me. I would encourage anyone who loves thrillers to give it a try.

This book had so many twists and turns and gave nightmarish glimpses into the minds of serial killers that I'm sure I'll be having nightmares about for a while yet, it was such a cleverly, well written story

This book was enjoyable in general but requires A LOT of suspension of belief. To even invest, you have to accept that a lot of things that make no sense and would never happen, happen. Once you do that, you can have a good time with it. It's pretty formulaic in my opinion so there too much of a twist, but it does have a good amount of suspense/thrills.

I did like the narrator. I thought they did a good job at conveying emotion with their tone. I preferred the audio to reading the digital eARC.

When Cyra feels the investigation of the murder of her sister is coming to a standstill and the cops are no help, she takes matters into her own hands. With insider information, she infiltrates a serial killer support group by convincing them she’s of their ilk. She builds an uncomfortable alliance with one of the members, who agrees to help her find the killer and bring them to justice. But with serial killers, things get twisty and turny.

I 100% chose this audiobook because Abby Craden is one of the narrators, and for the bisexual rep. Though serial killers aren’t typically my jam, I enjoyed this read. Though there could have been one or two fewer twists, I feel that they were well-plotted and kept me guessing. If you like thrillers with a killer twist, you might enjoy this one.

Driven by the murder of her sister, Mira, Cyra is determined to find the person responsible. Evidence suggests the killer might be a serial offender with a distinct signature. Acting on insider information, Cyra infiltrates a clandestine serial killer support group, convinced the culprit is among them. Fueled by a thirst for vengeance, Cyra is prepared to go to any lengths to uncover the truth about Mira's fate and exact her own retribution.
This was an enjoyable listen! Cyra struck me as a well-developed and somewhat relatable character, especially as the story unfolded (iykyk). The individuals she encounters significantly enriched the narrative. The plot is undeniably unique, though I felt the pacing could have been tighter in certain sections. Overall, I found it to be a worthwhile experience and would recommend it to those who enjoy thrillers and mysteries, particularly those with a strong female protagonist seeking revenge in a 'whodunit' style story. I'll certainly be looking out for more from Saratoga Schaefer!
The audiobook provided a solid listening experience. While I appreciated the narrators, Abby Craden and Timothy Andres Pabon, there were occasional volume inconsistencies with the secondary character voices being noticeably louder, requiring quick adjustments. However, this was a minor issue.

Things about serial killers aren’t usually my jam, but the title lured me in and I found the premise interesting - as I’m always game for some avenging. It was a decent ride (just don’t question things too hard) to follow Cyra as she goes on her quest to solve her sister’s murder by infiltrating a serial killer support group. Is it ridiculous? Kind of, but you know what you’re signing up for right from the start. Getting to know the group members - mostly through their quick backstories, was kind of interesting, though for a book about the group, you really don’t get a chance to dive that deep into who they are or their group’s dynamic too much. There were some twists, some less surprising than others, but overall I wanted to keep listening and needed to know how things were going to play out. I enjoyed the narrators - they helped bring the different characters to life. If you’re into books about serial killers, have a soft spot for morally gray characters, and need a little vengeance in your life, you might find this to be a fun/enjoyable read or listen. If you’re looking for something super gritty and very realistic, probably not your vibe. Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook.

You guys, once I pressed play, I could not stop listening! I binged the entire thing in one sitting and loved it so much! I mean, come on. A woman infiltrating a super secret support group for serial killers to try and sus out which one killed her sister? So unique and fun! I especially loved the character, Python, who is basically the meeting regulator. He’s a scary dude but I could see he had a hidden teddy bear side.

Abby Craden and Timothy Andrés Pabon narrate the audiobook and do such a great job with character voices and personalities! The story is told mostly by Cyra’s POV but we do get an inside look at each of the serial killers in the support group too. I was surprised by the ending and think this is a great debut! I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

I thought the book was a little slow at the beginning but I loved the ending!! I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Thank you to Spotify Audiobooks and Netgalley for providing this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.
Great story! Kept me hooked the whole time. The narration was great and really helped the immersion in the story. Perfect for any lover of thriller stories.

"Serial Killer Support Group" by Saratoga Schaefer is a fun read for readers who enjoy lighthearted suspense or thriller novels!

Thank you for the advanced audiobook copy.
This book sounded very interesting so I thought I would give it a try. Cyra’s sister was killed and the police are not helping. She decides to join a serial killer support group so she can find her sister’s killer. The audiobook was excellent and narrator was excellent.

I thought that Serial Killer Support Group was an interesting read, in a good way. Listening to the audiobook, it was dual narrated and the male narrator, who voiced the serial killers sounded the part. It was a quick read that kept my interest and was almost like a thriller.

It is refreshing that it is so different than other books that I have read and had some twists sprinkled in.

Thank you NetGalley and Spotify Audio!

Unfortunately, I just found this book very slow and boring. I listened to 10% of it, then had to DNF. I thought it was going to be fun but it wasn't.

This was such a fun time and unlike anything I've read before! This would be perfect for book clubs and I highly recommend the audiobook as I was even more engaged because of the narrator! Will absolutely be reading all future works by this author!!

The premise of this debut novel was so interesting and unique! Our main character joins a support group for serial killers in order to find out who murdered her sister.
There were a couple of fun twists that I did not see coming. I also enjoyed our main character Cyra's personality and motivations.
I did have a bit of a problem with some aspects of the novel. I did not enjoy that we learned some things about the different serial killers before Cyra did via flashbacks. It felt like that took some of the fun of discovering things *with* Cyra away.
I also felt like a few things just happened because the plot needed them to, not because those actions had been naturally set up for the characters to do.
Overall, I give this one a 3/5. I am not mad that I read it, and I think that the setup and twists alone make this a fun read! The cover, title, and description are also all very likely to attract readers.
Thank you to Spotify Audiobooks, and NetGalley for loaning me this free audiobook in exchange for a fair review!

This was a quick read and it tried to keep the twists and turns going until the end. However, I didn't really enjoy it. The characters were not likable and the way the backstories were included didn't really feel like they fit. It just wasn't really for me.

Cyra's sister was murdered and she is hell bent on finding the person responsible. She gets word that there is a potential that whoever had done this might be a serial killer due to a certain signature. With some insider information, she finds out about a top secret serial killer support group that she infiltrates, convinced that one of the attendees is the culprit. Set on vengeance, Cyra is ready to do whatever it takes to find out what happened to Mira and get her own revenge.

This was a fun little listen! I thought Cyra was well rounded and semi relatable character, until you get deeper into the story, iykyk, and the people she meets along the way added a lot to the story. This was definitely a unique plot, but I do wish the execution would have been a bit better. I found some parts to be a bit boring, and oh my gosh I was craving a romance with Mira so bad in the group and thought that would have made the story a bit more entertaining. Otherwise, I enjoyed my time with this read overall, and would definitely recommend it to my thriller/mystery friends for a good "whodunit" type mystery with a female revenge aspect.

The audiobook was a good listen overall! I liked narrators, Abby Craden and Timothy Andres Pabon, but there were some volume discrepancies when doing the other characters voices with the side characters being a bit louder and I'd have to quick turn my volume down, but not a big deal at all!

It's an overall good and entertaining thriller. The premise is fairly original, and I liked the execution.
I had to consciously suspend my disbelief to get in the story, but once I did, it was quite enjoyable.
There is a lot of angst and guilt but I found the characters well constructed and their dynamics interesting.
The story has plenty of suspense and twists and turns, and it's a short read, so worth the time if you are into the genre.
I listened to the audiobook version and the narrators were really good.
To me it's a 3,5 overall.
