A Killer's Tears

When I saw this psychological thriller listed on Netgalley I couldn’t request it fast enough!

I immediately became fascinated by Alisha’s character, daily life, and story of how she wound up behind bars. I also really loved how this book had multiple narrators and was based around generally unlikable characters. Some of my favorite thrillers are filled with characters you absolutely love to hate and vice versa- this one being no exception 😈

I don’t want to give anything away about the plot, but I will say every thriller lover NEEDS to check out Eryn’s newest series.

The writing, overarching storyline, and unpredictable twists are phenomenal and keep you completely engaged from cover to cover. I can’t wait for book two of this series!!

Alisha Thompson is an admitted sex addict and webcam entertainer. Her therapist claims her deeply troubled childhood, riddled with abandonment issues, have caused her to debase herself with her chosen profession. But it seems like Alisha uses sex to ensure she's in control. When her husband Dylan is stabbed to death, Alisha is a likely suspect. After all, she's covered in his blood, holding the murder weapon. She has resigned herself to her prison cell and all of the indignities that come with it. But in a shocking turn of events, a familiar face from her past re-enters her life and turns everything upside down.

I flew through this book in one sitting. Alisha was initially a tough character to connect with because she tells you point blank: 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯e 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐧-𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨. She definitely has all the traits of an unreliable narrator, and she spares no details telling her story...nothing is softened or blurred; you get all of the hard, nasty edges. There are no extraneous scenes and not a single extra word. This graphic story was absolutely riveting, and I'm hoping the author will reprise this character for more in a sequel!

Oh My Goodness!

I devoured this spicy thriller in a matter of hours! My fingers could not turn the pages fast enough. Jaysen’s writing is just beautiful! While I was reading the words, the scene was just so vivid in my mind it was like watching a movie.

This absolute riveting and provocative read is amazing! The reveal at the end will leave your head spinning. So if you don’t mind SPICE in your thriller, you need to jump on this book!

I cannot wait to see how the sequel plays out.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. This book publishes on 1/30/24!

This is unlike any thriller novel I’ve read! This is the first book in a trilogy as of right now, and I will definitely be reading the others. This book has dual POVs with one being that of the victim in the story, which is a fresh viewpoint. This thriller also has some serious spice to it, which is not something typically seen in this genre. This makes the book stand out in a league of its own. Definitely recommend giving it a read!
