Killer of Mine

by Grace, Alexis

Killer of Mine operates in the uncomfortable space where memory fails and the truth feels like a threat. The story centers on a protagonist haunted by a missing person case that refuses to stay buried, pulling her into a web of small-town secrets and personal vendettas. Grace avoids easy answers, instead favoring a slow-burn tension that makes you question the morality of everyone involved. The atmosphere is suffocating and cold, mirroring the internal isolation of a lead character who is clearly hiding as much as she is seeking. This is a book for readers who prefer their psychological thrillers dark and morally grey, where the pacing is dictated by the drip-feed of uncomfortable revelations rather than cheap shocks. If you enjoy feeling off-balance and trust no one on the page, this is your next read.
