Kill For You
As children they were inseparable...
Born less than a year apart, Adam and Angie are twins in all but name. Inseparable as children, as adults they still spend every weekend together and it seems that nothing can come between them. Adam, a world-famous artist with a lifestyle to match, is happy to share his success with Angie and they live as they’ve always done; Adam and Angie against the world.
Until the day that Adam meets the love of his life.
Enigmatic and charming, Perry walks into Adam’s life and Angie watches helplessly from the side lines as her brother is taken away from her. Adam and Perry whirl around Europe without a care in the world and now Adam is too busy for Angie, too busy for his friends, too busy for anyone or anything but Perry.
Adam has a new life now. With Perry.
Angie’s life has changed too; she rarely sees her brother, their weekends together have ended and Adam barely has time to speak to her, let alone see her.
And then suddenly, horrifically, Adam is dead.
Suicide, the police say, but Angie knows that’s a lie.
And now she has to find out the truth, find out what really happened.
Before it’s too late.

I really enjoyed this clever psychological thriller. The twists just kept on coming so much so that it had me suspecting everyone of being the killer right up until the final chapters.
The characters were carefully crafted and a pleasure to get to know. I felt sad when the book ended as it was such an addictive captivating read.
I can totally see this book being made into a 2 part TV drama. It was that good! Highly recommend for readers who enjoy a good thriller and like to guess who the killer is because believe me, you won't.

Excellent read! This is a well written, cleverly constructed thriller with characters you care what happens to. I really enjoyed the deep dive into Adam's lifestyle, his relationship with Perry and the overseas trips overseas they went on. It was interesting seeing the twists and turns of Adam and Angie's relationship too and the friction between them when Perry entered the picture. The carefully crafted tension definitely made this one a page turner. I look forward to reading more by CJ Morrow.

This book was a great start to the new year! It was such a good read. Kept me intrigued all the way to the end. The details were so good I could just picture Perry’s every detail. Slim bag !! Great book!

I thought I had this all figured out until the very end. Didn't see that coming!

This book had me hooked from the very first page, gripping with twists and turns aplenty and a killer twist that I just couldn’t guess - which is very unusual for me. Well written and atmospheric, the characters leapt right off the page and I badly wanted to know what was going to happen to them. I was sad when it ended because I was enjoying it so much and if you like psychological thrillers, this is definitely the book for you. Absolutely unputdownable.

September 29, 2022I absolutely loved it! This book is one of the best thrillers that I’ve ever read. It had me gripped from the very first page and I read it quickly because I just couldn’t put it down. All of the characters are so well written that I feel that I actually know them and try as I might (and I really did try), I couldn’t guess how it was going to end. If you love a good thriller with lots of twists and turns then this is the book for you. I totally recommend this five star read.

The best ever.
For the first time ever, I am speechless. I suspected what was going on at about 75% into the book and I was right to be suspicious BUT then something happens that I never expected and never saw coming. WOW. I just can't say any more without ruining it with spoilers so I'm only going to say, READ THIS BOOK!!!!

Set (mostly) in London, England.
We follow siblings Angie (37) and Adam (36) Hames. Angie is a marketing assistant; Adam is a renowned and sought-after artist (painter).
Perry Oblekt, the fiancé; Jasper, the BFF secretly in love with Adam; Gray, Angie’s new boyfriend…
Adam is gorgeous, brilliant, and affluent. And gay. It’s great to have a gay man as a protagonist in this genre.
Adam and Angie are super close. Both single, they decide to join dating apps.
Present tense narration takes some getting used to. Some punctuation and stray typographical errors. I love the warning at the beginning—that this is written in British English. As if it weren’t quite apparent.
Adam prefers his solitude; his relative inexperience is a refreshing nuance.
Perry and Adam’s courtship: a whirlwind love affair.
Steady pace and flow; fast-moving.
The realism. The strain between siblings who are close, but can also drive each other nuts.
Fantastic character work with Adam. He is so damn relatable.
Betrayals and delusions; scam, swindle, murder.
Some shark jumps in the last 20-25%.
With the lion’s share of this novel told through Adam’s POV, it’s quite risky. And…it does not pay off well.
The switch to Angie and Gray is very choppy. Feels like an overview.
Cold and nonsensical in the last parts. A horrible and cheap ending—which saddens me to say. Her character work with Adam is outstanding, especially for the thriller genre. So to end the way she does…not good at all.

I was disappointed with this novel. Up to the halfway point, the only hint that there was something dodgy about Perry was that he hated being photographed and avoided meeting Adam’s friends and family. At this point, it felt like a poorly written love story. At around the 60% point, the story finally took off. A good editor should have helped the author to compress the first half into about 15%. By the first plot point we should be seeing what a danger Perry represents. The entire section where Angie begins to cotton on to who Gray really is, could have been given more space as this was the real guts of the story. Instead it was compressed into the final 20%. To my mind these are all rookie mistakes which I am surprised an author of her experience would make.

I have just finished, and WOW, what a surprising ending—a great read.

Wow - I didn't see that ending coming. Gripping read all the way through.
