You Killed Me First by John Marrs is a dark and twisted thriller that perfectly blends suspense with a desperate housewives vibe.
From the cracking good first line and wickedly good first chapter, I was completely pulled in. And Oh My Goodness it was so good. I sometimes felt like I was people watching from the outside. Listening into the juicy gossip. I found myself laughing at the sharp wit while simultaneously disliking the characters for their flaws and attitudes. Wonderful writing, tense, but then the throw away remarks had me giggling. The dark humour was brilliant.The characters are complex and likeable/unlikable in all the right ways, making the story all the more compelling.
It was so unpredictable. The second half of the book completely took me by surprise, with twists and turns that had my jaw dropping page after page. Marrs keeps you guessing with every chapter, never allowing you to settle into any comfort zone, which is part of what makes his writing so gripping.
This book had me hooked from the start and didn’t let go until the very end. The unpredictability, dark humor, and shocking revelations make it an unforgettable read. Without a doubt, this is a 5-star book, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
