Review: Slaying You (Amber Jamison #2) by Michelle Gagnon



Blurb from Goodreads:
A wildly funny thriller about reluctant partners who hit the danger jackpot when they discover that a serial killer is on their heels . . . again.

Grace and Amber’s first encounter was anything but ordinary—they bonded over being stalked by the same psychopath. After narrowly escaping that ordeal they went their separate ways, determined to get back to their lives.

neither of them is very good at being "normal." Despite their best efforts, they both feel an irresistible pull toward the dark side.

So when they reunite for a Vegas wedding and discover that an even more dangerous killer is targeting their friends, it’s time to get the gang back together. Grace and Amber have outrun a murderer before . . . but can they do it again?
 
I absolutely loved the first book in this series but this one didn't quite live up to the quirkiness and unexpectedness of the first book IMO.  It was good and I want more from this series and this author but it wasn't quite the thrill that the first book was.  Still, I definitely recommend this series and hope there are more books in it!

Slaying You comes out next week on May 13, 2025 and you can purchase HERE.  
I've heard that most people go through life without encountering a serial killer. In fact, the vast majority make it through without ever experiencing serious peril. They just saunter along, whistling jauntily to themselves (at least, that's how I imagine them), and then, after a relatively peaceful spin atop this green-and-blue marble, they expire in their sleep, a gentle smile on their lips.
Gee, I wonder what that's like. 
Because here I am, halfway through my twenty-fourth year, about to confront my second murderous psychopath. Wait, no-this is the third. When you forget one? That's a bad sign. 
At this point, maybe I should just acknowledge that a nice, normal life was never in the cards for me. Chasing down a freak? Yawn ... must be Tuesday. Some combination of fate and DNA resulted in me being launched into the void like a pinball, destined to bang into all the dark shit out there.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton...
