The Killer in Me Margot Harrison Books
This book has a wonderfully dark, atmospheric tone, a cracking-fast plot, and a twisty storyline that will keep you guessing until the very end. Nina isn't your typical YA heroine -- she has a gritty, dark side to her, a fascinating secret she's hiding, and a grim determination to find the killer and stop him, no matter the cost. Add to that one of the creepiest, well-layered villains I've read, plus some scintillating chemistry between Nina and a certain love interest, plus a desert setting that's so vivid it's almost like a character. It had me thinking for days after I finished it. Highly, highly recommended.Tags : Amazon.com: The Killer in Me (9781484727997): Margot Harrison: Books,Margot Harrison,The Killer in Me,Disney-Hyperion,1484727991,Law & Crime,Romance - General,Thrillers & Suspense,Mystery and detective stories,Mystery and detective stories.,New Mexico,Serial murderers,Serial murderers;Fiction.,Survival,Survival;Fiction.,Thrillers (Fiction),Children: Young Adult (Gr. 10-12),Fiction-Thriller,JUVENILE,JUVENILE FICTION Law & Crime,JUVENILE FICTION Love & Romance,JUVENILE FICTION Mysteries & Detective Stories,Juvenile Fiction,Juvenile Grades 10-12 Ages 15+,Love & Romance,Mysteries, Espionage, & Detective Stories,TEEN'S FICTION ROMANCE,TEEN'S FICTION SUSPENSE,TEEN'S FICTION THRILLER,United States,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Law & Crime,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Romance General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Thrillers & Suspense,Young Adult FictionMysteries & Detective Stories,Young Adult FictionRomance - General
The Killer in Me Margot Harrison Books Reviews
WHAT EVEN WAS THIS BOOK?
And I mean that in an I'm feeling everything, but I don't know how to process it kind of way (not the terrible kind)
THIS BOOK IS MADNESS PERSONIFIED.
Nina Barrows can see a serial killer in her head. She can see him when he's driving his car, when he's with his family, when he's in his secret lair with all of his weapons and she can see him killing people. And she's inside his head when she does.
At first, she tried not sleeping. After all, if she never sleeps, she can never see him, right? But after a pill incident and rehab and a brutal murder, Nina Barrows decided that if she was the only person who knew this man - The Thief - then she has to do something about it.
She looks into his mind, into everything he does, trying to find the next opportunity to take him down. There's just one problem - she doesn't know if he really exists.
I LOVED THIS. AND ALL THE CRAZY IT BOUGHT WITH IT.
Never in my life has a book caused me to question it and myself so much. There were these bouts of insanity from Nina, where I thought that she was making all of it up in her head, then it switched to Warren (poor, sweet, SWOONY Warren) who was a reliable narrator and he found evidence, and I was believing EVERYTHING, until he started second guessing himself and then I went WHAT.
I loved that Margot Harrison had the power to keep me guessing and FEELING ALL THE MADNESS until the very end.
If you're looking for a book to play with your mind, THIS SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT ONE.
This book was so engaging, even though I am an adult, and not a young adult. It has many unusual twists and turns to hold the reader. I would recommend it for mystery or crime readers of a wide age range, from upper teens to adults.
GRADE C
ONE WORD Strange
At night, Nina dreams of a serial killer known only as The Thief. She can see his every move and is determined to stop him, even if that means killing him. With the help of a friend/drug seller she heads to New Mexico under the guise of finding her birth mother (since all seventeen-year-olds have mothers who let them take cross country road trips with opposite sex friends).
Okay. That's the premise. Strange, but I was hooked on Margot Harrison's debut from page one, wanting to know Nina's implausible story. I had theories galore, most centering around mental illness, even that Nina was actually The Thief. She wasn't a particularly likable heroine (?), seeming to lack emotion and empathy toward those around get. She cared more about potential murder victims than being honest with or treating her friends and family well. She believed she knew better than everyone, including the authorities.
Harrison created enough tension and intrigue to keep me guessing and interested, with a few not hugely surprising twists. The resolution didn't live up to the story, in my opinion.
I loved the inclusion of Nina's single, lesbian adoptive mom because it was as natural as saying she had blue eyes or brown hair. She wasn't a Lesbian Mother, but a mom who happened to be gay.
I will look for Harrison's next novel, and hope for a better ending.
I could not wait until I got a chance to sit and read again everyday! I love mysteries and love stories combined. This book was well written! Margot Harrison provided scenic details without boring cliches. Great job!
