Spending too much time consuming mediocre series on Netflix? Then this fun, female-driven narrative featuring a grifter\/psych student, a terrifying serial killer, a cool and elegant femme fatale, and a handful of Las Vegas ladies is sure to get you back into the reading groove. A serial killer is stalking Amber\u2019s college campus, and despite all her street smarts he manages to kidnap her, dragging her off to his lair. Just when things start to get serious, Amber is liberated by this cool and aloof woman who promptly disappears. But when the cops, and then the FBI, show up, Amber gets jittery\u2014she and law enforcement don\u2019t mix\u2014so she heads out of town, randomly picking Vegas. It would be foolhardy to try to summarize this story; it\u2019s got more twists and turns than the Tour de France. Let\u2019s just say that Amber\u2019s voice\u2014witty with a side of snark\u2014is just everything, the dialogue is pumping, and the characters are, strangely enough, completely credible. And how refreshing is it to read a thriller without any male leads? Turns out you don\u2019t miss them at all. <strong>An absolute delight from beginning to end.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever feel like you\u2019ve lost your reading mojo?
