Super fun, i couldn’t put it down! It felt like the plot of pf a movie haha.

**I do not give audiobooks star ratings as I cannot analyze the prose**

Audiobook Rating: fun and funny! | Audiobook Performance: nothing special

If you listen to my podcast, in episode 20 I asked ChatGPT to write a prologue for a thriller in a funny tone where the FMC wakes up and finds herself trapped in a cage. IN NO WAY am I accusing Michelle of using ChatGPT, but what that frightening generative AI beast spit out was pretty on the money

Amber was kidnapped by a serial killer, and believe it or not, that’s not the worst or weirdest thing that has happened to her lately. A mysterious woman showed up just in the nick of time to save her – or rather, to stop the serial killer, as the woman seems pretty indifferent towards Amber. After Amber’s escape she phones in an anonymous tip and tries to go back to life as normal – but soon the FBI is sniffing around wanting to ask her questions, and the last thing she wants is the feds digging into her extremely questionable past. So Amber goes on the run, landing in Vegas – and somehow, getting tangled up with another, even more dangerous serial killer, which puts her new friends (A sex worker and the wannabe-amateur-sleuth owner of a sleazy motel) in the crosshairs. Now, it’s up to Amber and the disagreeable vigilante who saved her life to take out a psychopathic mass murderer before he gets them first.

This book is hilarious - I loved Amber’s clever, humorous, and distinct narrative voice - but it’s also a hell of a thriller. There were some plot twists I didn’t see coming. All in all it’s a fun read (if you’re okay mixing fun and serial murder.)

Representation: Lesbian main character and other queer characters, POC characters

TW: classism and racism, and (obviously) torture and murder

I received an advance copy of this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A phenomenal and hilarious thriller/mystery. This book hooks you from the get-go and it is hard to put down. I loved the dark humor and morally grey character traits of the FMC and Ski Mask Girl. The entire cast of characters was great and the style of the book was also a lot of fun. I can't think of a single thing I would change! A great book and a great audiobook, too!!
