Killer Personality by Steven Fisher is a mind-bending story told through the alternating viewpoints of Kevin and Olivia. Kevin is an emotionally secure man searching for a committed relationship. On the other hand, Olivia is a beautiful and intelligent woman with startling secrets hidden in her past. Both characters meet each other at the Living Room Grill in Philadelphia and form an instant romantic bond. Unbeknownst to Kevin, Olivia has already done extensive research on him using black market data. She even presents herself as the ideal girlfriend to Kevin's friends. Nonetheless, Gary—Kevin's best friend, who is a police officer—senses that he knows Olivia from a previous investigation. This unforeseen event prompts Olivia to do an unthinkable act. Eventually, Kevin secretly begins to dig into Olivia’s past and realizes that most of her backstory is false. How will this riveting story end?
Killer Personality is an electrifying psychological thriller about seduction and danger that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Through Kevin's and Olivia's compelling performances as prey and predator, Steven Fisher provides readers with a dark but entertaining depiction of themes like self-identity, trauma, and the thin line that separates adaptive behavior from pathological behavior. The pacing and narrative buildup amplify the psychological suspense woven throughout the chapters. Olivia’s shocking inner monologues are nicely paired against Kevin’s gradual realization about the woman he fell in love with. Ultimately, this is a character-driven tale that raises some fascinating questions about the cause of personality disorders and violent inclinations in persons who exhibit these traits. It is both an in-depth exploration of the human psyche and a chilling journey. Psychological thriller fans are guaranteed to enjoy this exhilarating novel.
