Postscript: I must confess that despite my overwhelming admiration for “Kill For Me, Kill For You” by Steve Cavanagh, there is one aspect that I found rather disconcerting. Considering the price I paid for the book, I expected a flawlessly polished novel. Regrettably, this was not the case. The presence of numerous spelling errors throughout the text was undeniably vexing. While I am willing to overlook such issues in an advanced reader’s copy (ARC), discovering these errors in a finished manuscript that I’ve invested my hard-earned money in disappointed me.
Nonetheless, I refuse to let this oversight overshadow my overall experience of the book, which was undeniably exceptional. The spellbinding narrative and gripping plot are a testament to Cavanagh’s storytelling prowess. While the errors were an annoyance, they will not diminish the lasting impact this novel has left on me, but I did feel that they couldn’t go without mentioning.
