Kill For Me by Karen Rose

Kill for me is the last in the Vartanian trilogy by Karen Rose. To understand this book and have it mean the most, you need to read the other two that connect with it (Die For Me and Scream For Me). Anyway. Susannah Vartanian, an Assistant District Attorney in New York City is discovered to be one of sixteen victims in the Richie Rich Rapes. Everything seems to connect with her brother Simon who ended up being a serial killer in Philadelphia in a previous book. Luke Papadopoulos is a special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He's taken off Internet Crimes to help Susannah's brother, Daniel, investigate the killings in Dutton. Dutton is the Vartanian's hometown and is where all the Richie Rich Rapes occured. The book takes you through the investigation of a human trafficking ring that connects with the rapists. There are some crazy twists. A lot of unexpected turns. Which is good. I love the unexpected in a book. Makes it so much better. Susannah has struggled in all her relationships and believes she can't have a normal one. Luke just hasn't found "the one". They're attracted to each other at first sight but Susannah fights it because she doesn't believe she's good enough for Luke. They fight their way through the emotional battles to be together while trying to figure out who's behind all the horrific crimes that have taken place. In the end, they triumph over one seriously evil villain. The author makes it possible for you to connect with the characters in a deep and meaningful way. I had tears well up in some spots because the emotion Susannah was going through was so intense that it leaped off the page and slammed into my chest. I have loved every book Karen Rose has written because they are so well written that I feel like I'm right there living the story with the characters. They feel like they're my friends and enemies. And I love all the creepy villains! I have a weakness for believable, creepy serial killers!
