Book Review: "You Killed Me First" by John Marrs

John Marrs has been on my list of authors I’ve been wanting to read for a while now. Intrigued by the description of his newest book, I thought it was time to give him a try. This was an utterly wild, twisty book that kept me shaking my head, so I know I’ll be diving into Marrs’ backlist!

This is the story of three women: Margot, Anna, and Liv. Margot and Anna are neighbors and friends. The arrival of Liv and her family shake things up for the two women. Liv is gorgeous and wealthy, and becomes the envy—and irritation—of her neighbors.

While three women appear to become close friends, each is preying on the other’s weaknesses. Each woman has secrets they’ve kept hidden; what the others know and what they’re willing to do with that knowledge makes everything a bit more interesting.

Eleven months later, a woman awakens to find herself in the middle of a bonfire—and she’s trapped. Will she be able to escape, or will someone save her before she dies in the fire?

Shifting back and forth between the months prior to the bonfire and then the months after, this is one crazy ride. A definite suspension of disbelief is required, that’s for sure!!

It’s hard to write a review without giving too much away. But I couldn’t stop reading this. I didn’t want to put the book down at all, and devoured it pretty quickly. All I can say is, wow!
