You Killed Me First

Margot and Anna live on a quiet cul-de-sac and have been friends for a while. One day, a new neighbor, Liv, and her husband move in. The three quickly form a strong friendship that will see them navigate twists and turns. Everyone has their secrets and someone will go to any length to keep them that way.

This book was so mid fun! It’s like a Desperate Housewives episode mixed with some very morally dubious characters. I loved it!

You Killed Me First – John Marrs

Well, John Marrs did it again — made me question my morals while grinning like a lunatic at 10 p.m. because I “just wanted to read one more chapter.” Famous last words.

This book grabs you by the throat from the first page and doesn’t let go. It’s part thriller, part emotional train wreck, with enough twists to make your coffee go cold. Marrs takes grief, revenge, and buried secrets and turns them into this dark, addictive cocktail that makes you doubt the line between justice and straight-up madness. You’ll find yourself sympathizing with people you probably shouldn’t — and that’s exactly the point.

What I loved most is how every character feels raw and painfully human. Nobody’s clean. Everyone’s dragging some kind of ghost behind them, pretending they’re doing the right thing when really… are they? Marrs makes you sit with that uncomfortable question until it’s basically tattooed on your brain.

Fast-paced, tense, and sprinkled with those trademark “oh hell no” moments that only Marrs can pull off. It’s heartfelt one minute, morally messed up the next, and completely impossible to put down.

A beautifully twisted reminder that revenge never comes without a price — and sometimes, the truth is the scariest thing of all.
