I want to love every book I read, I really do. Regrettably, it's just not possible and there are times when you pick up a title that grabs your interest, but doesn't quite live up to your expectations. Sarah Killian: Serial Killer (for Hire!) is such a tome.

Review of SARAH KILLIAN SERIAL KILLER by Mark Sheldon
A truly delightful somewhat-extreme horror story, released July 29, 2016, this novel relates in first person narrative the life and times of one Sarah Killian, not a woman you'd want for your best friend, but definitely individual-with-purpose. Once upon a time, beginning at age sixteen [and I think there is much more to that than meets the eye, or in this case, the page] Sarah turned the harsh lessons of life to use, and became a killer.

This was a really fun story. For being a serial killer, Sarah Killian is really likable. She actually reminds me of a few people I know, minus the kiling part. The story was well paced with some good twists, a couple I saw coming but I still enjoyed it. My only complaint was the ending. I hope there is another story with Sarah coming because this kind of felt like it just ended. So four stars for this one. But I hope to see more of her.
Ten Stars if I Could
Any book that starts out with one (of many) of my favorite lines from my favorite movies, has me hooked. To my surprised delight, it got better from there.
I know I haven't laughed out loud in a serial killer as much as I did here. My enjoyment of this book is what took so long for me to read it. Truly. I savored every word.

Well that was different.
A good read for a lazy Saturday afternoon, interesting characters and a fast paced plot. If you like your heroes dark and bad**s then this could be the book for you

This book was received free in return for an honest review. Initially when I looked at the cover and read the blurb I wasn’t too sure that I would like it. The cover itself would’ve put me off and the blurb which talks about a ‘perky blonde’ added to that feeling; I pretty much share Sarah Killian’s views on the type, although I doubt I would kill. BUT. Once I started to read, I was completely drawn into the book. The chatty, friendly tone of the book, of Sarah herself, meant that I could not bu

Sarah Killian is a professional serial killer. When someone needs to die, her bosses send her out to kill not only the target but also people around them, in order to cover up the real story behind the crime. Sarah likes her job as much as she dislikes other people. Unfortunately, on her latest assignment, she has a trainee, the bubbly Bethany, who grates on Sarah's nerves.

Sarah Killian is an serial killer but is hired to killed people by T.H.E.M (Trustworthy Hierarchy of Everyday Murderers)
She is foul mouthed, a loner and mean. This tale sees her paired up with a new member of T.H.E.M Bethany a bubbly and sickly sweet buxom blonde. Will Sarah kill her co-worker before the end of the book? Will she complete her assignment to stop a school shooting?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are superb; Sarah is gruff, sarcastic, unpredictable and fun (especially with some the phrases she uses when not wanting to swear – porcupines and Captain Hammer’s nipples).
It is written as Sarah telling the story and is full of dark comedy. The two central characters of Sarah and Bethany work very well together. It goes along at quite a fast and steady pace, which made it a quick and very enjoyable read.

A fast-paced, exhilarating novel about a young woman who works for a shadow organization of professional serial killers. Like a female “Dexter” but with ten times the snarkiness, Sarah Killian is angry, foul-mouthed, and (despite her best intentions) very likeable. The usual plot twists and turns you’d expect from a crime novel are here, but the characters are a strong point as well. Highly entertaining.
Sarah killian is like a very angry Dexter.
She works for a shadow Corp that offs people.
To make matters more disturbing for her she now has to "work" with a trainee that she also wants to kill off.
Their assignment doesn't go as planned and now there is a chance that she could die as a result.
Sarah is sarcastic and witty throughout as this was a fun read. ...more

Absolutely blown away by this book. Perfect combination of slasher horror and comedy. Best way to describe it is if James Bond was a woman and MI6 were an organization devoted to contracting out assassins and professional serial killers. Will be checking out more of Mark Sheldon's work for sure.

So while the cover on my kindle is a little hocky, the story is really good. You follow a PSK, professional serial killer as she takes on a job. One that falls a little outside her normal jobs.

PSKs are professional serial killers. They’re bona fide proven sociopathic mass murderers of the very worst kind: the ones who don’t get caught. Instead they’re tracked down by an ultra-secret agency, given clean IDs, makeover surgery to suit each assignment, and sent into the field as the weapon of absolutely last resort.
Mark Sheldon writes snappy, accessible copy which bristles with witty in-jokes, pop culture and clever acronyms. He’s created a brilliantly bad protagonist in sassy Sarah, a f ...more

This was a good story, and I have a ton of highlights to sift and sort through before writing a review. I just had to point out that I'm a 5 star fan of Mark Sheldon now!
My first highlight was at the beginning of chapter two, with note that reads "bonus points to author for being awesome!" Seriously - the Dr. Horrible references sprinkled throughout the story were killing me! (And I vow that I am going to try and cut at least one 'fuck' from my daily vocabulary, and replace it with 'Captain Hamm ...more

Oh Porcupines!!! A quick fun read about Sarah and the joy of killing.
This quite an enjoyable fast paced read.
I am hoping this will be the start of a new series to follow along with.

“When I’m able to put my various prejudices aside, I’m actually an extremely good judge of character, and can get the measure of someone quickly. I just have to focus and turn off my usual internal monologue of automatically hating every single person I meet. It’s the difference between listening to my head—which dislikes everyone—and listening to my gut, which tends to be a more accurate personality barometer.”
