Average rating3.8
"The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn't want them to hope. She wants them to die. Laura hasn't had it easy: she's survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn't love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it. But now someone's on to her -- Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together? The sinister truth is within Ryan's grasp, but he has no idea of the desperate lengths Laura will go to ... Because the best thing about being a Good Samaritan is that you can get away with murder."--Page 4 of cover.

This is one twisted book. Laura works a suicide prevention call center. Ryan, who's wife called the center. This is how the paths meet and insanity begins. I did not like Laura at all, she was just unlikable all the way thru. Ryan, I liked and disliked. But, I definitely recommend the book. So good Had so many twists and turns.
Amazing. This was a mess, this was SUPER dark. Unlikable characters seems to be a John Marrs thing. Even the people trying to stop the serial killer were unlikable!!
Wild. The twist ending at the end was absolutely perfect. Really glad I discovered this author.
“Because when you're not considered to be a threat, you can get away with much, much more.”
This book is dark and twisted especially the first part. Read the trigger warnings before picking this up. Even for me, it was a bit difficult to read and I don't have triggers.
By 2/3 of this book, I was raging, I don't know if that was the intention of John Marrs or not, on his previous books I still felt a bit of pity for the antagonists but this one I definitely did not. I wanted to kill her myself. A character has never made me this angry before.
the ending wasn't as satisfying as I hoped it would be but that's okay. We can't always get what we want.
