Week 43 Review: How I'll Kill You

From Goodreads:

our next stay-up-all-night thriller about identical triplets who have a nasty habit of killing their boyfriends, and what happens when the youngest commits their worst crime yet: falling in love with her mark.

Make him want you.

Make him love you.

Make him dead.

Sissy has an...interesting family. Always the careful one, always the cautious one, Sissy has handled the cleanup while her serial killer sisters carved a path of carnage across the U.S. Now, as they arrive in the Arizona heat, Sissy must step up and embrace the family pastime of making a man fall in love with her so that she can murder him. Her first target? A young widower named Edison—and their mutual attraction is instant. While their relationship progresses, and most couples would be thinking about picking out china patterns and moving in together, Sissy's family is reminding her to think about picking out burial sites and moving on.

But then something happens that Sissy never anticipated: She begins to feel protective of Edison, and then, before she can help it, she's fallen in love. But the clock is ticking, and her sisters are growing restless. It becomes clear that the gravesite she chooses will hide a body no matter what happens; but if she betrays her family, will it be hers?

My Review:
Man, this was a really fantastic read! I've loved her books under the name Lauren DeStefano, so when I saw this was by her, I had to pick it up! And I absolutely loved it, it was dark and I had to know what was going to happen next!

Sissy is the one that cleans up, she's the detail oriented one, the one to make sure that they don't get caught. And she's the only one of the triplets who hasn't killed her first love, and this is the story of her choosing him, falling in love-and being pressured to kill him.

On the one hand, these three sisters were extremely close. They would do anything for one another. But on the other, they maybe took it too far, because murder is extreme. If you don't want to be be hurt, maybe break things off before it gets to far? 

It was interesting, because Sissy does have a hardness that comes from her life, being in foster care, separated from her sisters, and how they're killers. There's her developing love for Edison, and how she is softer then Iris and Moody. But oh, that ending and how everything went down? That was a bit sad, but it was fitting. It was a really great ending! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Ren DeStefano, under either name!
