Sadie Perkins has a sixth sense
about things—especially people dying. Her clairvoyance has never bothered her
until she starts to believe that her visions are causing the deaths of those
around her. After her latest relationship ends ... badly ... Sadie swears off
love for good. While searching for an uncomplicated life, Sadie finds her hands
full not only with a home renovation project but with defending herself against
suspicion of murder. There's a fine line between predicting someone's death and
causing it. Has Sadie finally crossed that line?
Enter contractor Max Schultz, who is not only good at working on houses, but he's good at working on Sadie too. Much to Max's dismay, as he's trying to win Sadie's heart, he finds Sadie's first love, Henry Fitzsimmons, is back in the picture, snooping around.

Sadie doesn't know which way to turn or who to trust, including herself. Can Sadie clear her name and open her heart all at the same time?
My Thoughts…
I wasn’t sure what I expecting
when I picked up this book, but I wasn’t expecting what happen in this
story. Killing Me Softly is quirky and
funny. The story starts a little slow
but quickly adds steam and goes full speed ahead. I loved that it started with the history of
Sadie. A peek into her life as one of
three children and her relationship with her siblings, which sets the main
story line. While I don’t think she
was neglected growing up, but I do not think the last few years of her life
have been nice to her. It seems like she
had one of those take one step forward and get thrown two steps back
lives. While she had good intentions
with all that she did, it did not always work out that way.
The characters were relatable and
well developed. Each character had
their own story, yet they all managed to intertwine with each other making a
complete book. With Sadie’s history
all I wanted for her was to become happy and settled in life. I wanted her to finish her house how she
wanted it done, meet the man of her dreams, and I mostly wanted her to be okay
with her life and realize she did not cause death.
I loved that the setting was a
small town. Even living a few towns over
from where she works she still runs into people she knows regularly. She could visit her mom and dad, work in a
bar that she knew everyone, and teach in a school where she could invest in the
students. It was also not so good for
her. When things went wrong there were
no keeping secrets or hiding what was going on.
Rumors flew, people talked, and fingers were pointed.
I suggest snuggling in,
preferably with a glass of wine, and start reading. You will not be able to put this book
down.
