The Killer in Me started off slow. Really slow. It took me time to get into the story, but I am glad that I stuck it out. While it was missing the high creep factor that I was SO hoping for, there was definitely enough of a weird vibe to it to tide me over. 
 Since Nina was a little girl, every night when she closes her eyes and falls asleep, she jumps into the mind of The Thief. She has been with him as he has grown up from a little boy whose father took his own life, to a grown man who takes the lies of others. She knows where he lives, his girlfriend and her little girl, his favorite spot to bury things. And she can't take it anymore. She can't handle seeing anyone else murdered by his hands. With her used-to-be-best-friend-might-become-something-more-friend Warren, Nina plans a road trip that she hopes will finally stop a killer. If she doesn't wind up as his next victim. When she meets Thief in person though, she starts to question everything she has always thought to be true. Could Dylan Shadwell really be the Thief after all? 
 Once the story finally clicked with me, I was hooked. The story isn't really fast-paced, but it is steady and something is always going on. Emotional, romantic, even some sillier and lighter times. And the characters are wonderfully written. Nina is a very complex character. Not the easiest to relate to, but I thoroughly enjoyed trying to understand her. Warren was just plain precious. I adored his protective instinct, I loved him teaching her in the beginning. He loves her deeply, no matter what, and I love him. And Thief? Well, you just have to find out for yourself, I think?! 
 Overall, I really ended up enjoying this story. I am so glad that I didn't give up on it. I would definitely tell you to try this one out, especially if you are a fan of dark atmosphere, strange psychological weirdness and really well-written stories with complex characters and wonderful world-building.
