My Killer Vacation

Product Information

There are a tons of things I could list that made this (the bit I've read, anyway) so unenjoyable, but I think the biggest chunks of guilt belong to the mystery plot (pretend I just used the most gargantuan air quotes you've ever seen, here) and the main characters. While I expected this book to lean more into the romance aspect of the story than the mystery/thriller side, I was overall disappointed in both areas. However, I picked this up in the hopes that a murder-mystery romcom was going to be super exciting and hilarious, and it wasn't.

Tessa Bailey has always had an eminently readable style, and that's part of the charm of her writing. My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey is a romance/mystery/thriller (sort-of) which follows Taylor, an elementary school teacher, who plans a summer vacation in Cape Cod with her brother. So what i was imagining is him just stopping mid conversation and kneeling before her to lick her stomach.I thought I'd be here writing about how awful her FMC was, and how cringe the relationship was but, not really. I've stopped reading after they started getting too fond of each and the unsexiest dirty talk made an appearence once again, so I can't tell you if it got better after this.

She's naive, childish, and if I was the parent of one of her students, I'd be very concerned about my child's safety and mental state. in sweet, sunny Cape Cod - just me and my beloved brother - but discovering a corpse in our rental house really throws a wrench into our tanning schedule. Also they pick this point up several pages later when she is like "No-one ever gets my sexy kitten energy, maybe i need hook up panties and a more sexy vibe" and Myles is like "nah, you're fine" and she's like "You pick up on my big sexy kitten energy" and Myles starts salivating and is like "oh god, oh fuck i do" LIKE OBVIOUSLY? At first, he came across as a harsh asshole, who made it seem as if he had a failed detective career, marriage, and overall has no interest in forming healthy relationships seeing as he hasn't spoken to his parents or brother in 3 years since "the incident". my killer vacation throws us headfirst into a dead body being discovered in a cape cod holiday rental by taylor and jude bassey, siblings on a much needed vacation.After reading seven Tessa Bailey books, I guess coming across my first dud was only a matter of time. this doesn’t even account for the fact that he’s so protective over her 😭 he sleeps on her porch to protect her from the killer that’s on the loose, he jumped onto top of her to prevent her from getting hit by a flying object, he freaks out at the THOUGHT of her getting hurt, period.

His dirty talk made my skin crawl, and I can assure you, I've read a lot of disturbing books in my life, but a little few things are as concerning as a slimy guy written like he's hot. Not to compare Taylor with Piper from IHOS, but my main issue with that book and Piper was, how amazing her personality and character growth was going up until the 3rd act conflict where Piper reverted back to her old selfish self, meaning all that "growth" just went to waste. There were many moments where it felt like I was reading porn in written form (complete with keeping stolen panties in pockets and referring to the guy as "Daddy"). New York Times Bestselling author Tessa Bailey can solve all problems except for her own, so she focuses those efforts on stubborn, fictional blue collar men and loyal, lovable heroines. And maybe this was just a case where my expectations were too high, so reality had nowhere to go but down.

For example, only minutes after meeting Taylor, Myles steals Taylor’s underwear from her suitcase and proceeds to keep them in his pocket. ps - idk who told this man he has heartburn, sweetheart I think your heart burned near Taylor because of love, not INDIGESTION put those antacids away! He's this giant, grouchy bounty hunter and she's a sweet grade-school teacher who, against his will, joins in on his murder mystery solving. Taylor is a second-grade teacher who wants to have a relaxing vacation in Cape Cod with her brother, but when a dead body is found in the rental house Taylor's plans change.
