I gave tried to give this book a shot multiple times, but every time I pick it up I find my attention wandering, I am unable to connect with the story or the characters.

Nina's journey to find out the truth about the Thief was surprising and unforgettable. I thought I knew where this story was going but it definitely surprised me on multiple occasions. Getting to hear form Warren was a nice break from being in Nina's unreliable mind. This was a wholly original story that will not soon be forgotten. Although I wasn't the biggest fan of the end.

Good one. Creepy psychic connection between the main character and a serial killer. Discusses family, friendship, and finding your story.

I've read so many serial killer books that it takes A LOT to creep me out. So major props to the author for making me want to sleep with the lights on after reading The Killer in Me. There was a few jumping the shark moments, but it is a novel about a girl seeing into the mind of a serial killer when she dreams, so I just went with it. Nina wasn't my favorite character, but I loved Warren, especially when the story was told from his POV. Great buildup throughout the novel to the suspenseful climax. Overall, a very good mystery with a dark, gritty vibe.

Review posted on Goodreads and Amazon

Nina Barrows can't sleep. Every time she does, she is haunted by dreams of a serial killer. Except Nina knows they are not dreams... what she is seeing is the real actions of a real person. A man she knows only as "the Thief." Nina knows that this man is real, and extremely dangerous, but she can't tell anyone because she has no explanation of how she knows that he has murdered several people... she would sound completely insane, especially since she is a teenage girl living in Vermont and the Thief is a grown MAN who lives in New Mexico.
But now, Nina knows she has to act, because she has seen the Thief's next victims, and they live just a short drive from her own home. And not only does she need to stop him, she also really needs to find out why this is happening to HER of all people. Why can she think his thoughts, and see what he sees? Why does he only come to her in dreams? Is she crazy? Or is there some other connection with the killer she has missed?

All of these questions are answered in The Killer in Me Margot Harrison to varying degrees of success. The book certainly has an unusual premise, and for me, it was a nice break from all the dystopia that has been flooding the teen book world for so many years. And of course, I do love a good serial killer story.
The characters are well developed, for the most part, and I enjoyed the fact that even though the story is told from the point of view of different characters, the transitions are smooth and don't interfere with the overall tale.
What I didn't like was the coincidences that seem to happen merely for the sake of moving the story along. There are just a few too many times where the reader has to trust that "fate" simply decided to shine down on a character or two at the exact perfect moment.

I expected this to be a bit more thriller-like, but it didn't really have that vibe, not to me at least. It felt flat more than anything.

Nina has been dreaming about the Thief for as long as she can remember. Before, he was just a boy, but now he is a man, with a deadly secret. The Thief is a serial killer, murdering victims during Nina’s dreams.

Her nightmares become true as Nina learns the victim’s truly are killed. Determined to save others from the Thief, Nina tries to warn his next victim’s, but is too late.

Nina decides to go on the road and confront the man from her dreams in person, using a road trip to visit her birth mother as an excuse. Her long time crush joins her on the trip, but is skeptical about what Nina has revealed to him.

When Nina finally meets the Thief, a real life person named Dylan, she begins to wonder if her dreams were really true, and will have to find out the truth before her life is endangered.

Creepy thrilling read!
