How far would you go to get revenge? It’s a compelling question that author Steve Cavanagh uses to propel his new novel, Kill for Me, Kill for You. While the story may start with one simple question, it quickly develops into an intense thrill ride chock-full of tough choices and fantastic twists.
One evening in New York City, two strangers, Amanda and Wendy, meet in a bar and realize that they have a lot in common. Specifically, they both want to get revenge against the men who ruined their lives. What starts out as an innocent discussion of all that they’ve lost becomes an in-depth conversation about getting even and the perfect revenge plot: If you kill for me, I’ll kill for you. What could possibly go wrong?
Kill for Me, Kill for You, is one of the most intricately plotted psychological thrillers I’ve read in a while. At times it will seem impossible to figure out where this story is leading you, but with a masterful hand, Cavanagh brings it all together in the end for a truly shocking twist. I promise you won’t see this one coming!

This book was so exciting! Very twisty and fun! I enjoyed the fast pace and the alternating POVs of Amanda and Ruth. They are very different, but each experience tragedy in their own ways. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
