Omg! Yes! Absolutely loved this book! From the beginning to end it had me captivated. It was very hard to put down, I just kept needing to know what would happen next! Full of revenge and murder, it made for an amazing suspense thriller. I enjoyed the POV of 4 of the characters. Especially Lily's. Being inside her mind was scary but intriguing. Overall I was thrilled with this book and can't wait to read his next one The Kind Worth Saving.

A great crime thriller worthy of James M. Cain. Just the right number of twists, including the one on the last page.
Aaand…there’sa sequel, which is next.

WOW! If you enjoy psychological suspense, you NEED to pick this one up! This is not normally my first choice in genres, but I had just read and reviewed The Girl With A Clock For A Heart by the same author. So when I saw that Harper Collins was giving away a limited number of ecopies of this book, I grabbed it. I have to admit, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It took me awhile to get interested in the earlier novel, and once I did I enjoyed it, but it didn’t stand out for me. But this one…..WOW! It hooked me from the beginning and after the first twenty-five pages or so, I could NOT put this one down. I admit, I stayed up late into the night reading.
The Kind Worth Killing was so good! I got pretty attached to a few of the characters, which can be a mistake in a novel like this! And there were so many twists and turns. I don’t want to spoil anything by saying more, but this will definitely keep you on your toes, as you try to understand the role everyone plays! There are murders and deaths and schemes and detectives…...
The only thing I did not like so much was the ending. Just when you think there is resolution, there is not. There is no neat tying up of the loose ends.There is an implied resolution, but it is not defined. As you probably know, I like my endings neat and tidy, with an epilogue and a ‘happily ever after’. Probably not a realistic expectation in a novel like this, though, so it won’t take away from your enjoyment of the book! If you enjoy suspense and thrillers, grab this one!
My Rating: ★★★★1/2 4-1/2 Stars
I received my copy of this book through a giveaway from the publisher, Harper Collins.

I went into this thinking it was one of two books. I believe there’s three now! Super quick read. I was shocked once I got around the 40% mark, and I knew from there that I needed to know the ending. Lots of little twists. It’s dark. It’s cat and mouse. It’s also weird who you find yourself rooting for. The ending was kind of sudden, and I was so shocked! Haha! Now I’m planning to start the second book because I need to know more about a certain character!
It’s 4 stars for me because it seemed to get a little slow toward the last few chapters especially when the story includes more about the parents. I know it has a purpose at the very end, but the small section about them had me checking out and having to backtrack.

People with terrible morals. It was almost a comedy. I liked it OK though
