**Previously published as ABERRATION**

A woman is found dead, her body beaten post mortem. Stuffed into her mouth is a job application with the words "For You" scrawled across it. FBI profiler Kassidy Bishop is assigned to help find the killer. Despite being scarred by her twin sister's mysterious death fifteen years earlier, Kass is now a rising star in the Bureau's Behavior Analysis Unit.

But as more victims turn up dead around the country--all with the serial killer's trademark message left at the scene--Kassidy is left with more questions than answers. The victims seem to have nothing in common, and the meticulous killer is as inconsistent as he is brutal.

As Kass delves deeper into the mind of the killer, a shocking connection begins to emerge--one that is both personal, and deadly.

Told from the alternating viewpoints of Kassidy and the For You Killer, Kill for You is an edge-of-your-seat, roller coaster ride of a thriller.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kill For You is a sophisticated and compelling suspense novel. Just when you think you know what's next, the story whips you around a corner into shocking new territory and you discover nothing is quite what it seems. Kill For You will keep you reading, and guessing, until the very end, when not one but two shocking twists await the reader. Lisa Regan has also created that rarity, a wonderfully original and complex heroine in Kassidy Bishop, who is a tough and bright FBI agent but also refreshingly human. Someone to root for, fear for, and hope we meet again in another Lisa Regan novel."--Mark Pryor, author of The Bookseller and The Crypt Thief

"With Kassidy Bishop, Lisa Regan has created a character that's not only smart, but vulnerable. It's that kind of complexity that lifts her novels from others in the suspense genre." --New York Times bestselling author, Gregg Olsen

About the Author

Lisa Regan was born in Philadelphia, a product of two large Irish Catholic families whose roots run deep in her neighborhood. From the moment she was able to put words onto the page, she was writing: poems, stories, and even novels. At age eleven, her parents bought her a typewriter, on which she wrote her first full-length novel. By the time she was eighteen, she had written four terrible young adult novels. Between eighteen and twenty-two, she had a crisis of confidence and although she kept writing, she was unable to finish any novel-length projects. She spent her time working in bookstores while completing college. She spent two years at the Community College of Philadelphia before transferring to Bloomsburg University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in English and a master of education degree. To make ends meet, she worked as both a certified nurse assistant and a karate instructor. In 2002 she finally finished her first adult novel, which remains on a flash drive in her nightstand. In 2006, she finished what would become her first published novel: Finding Claire Fletcher. After being passed over by more than 150 agents and then more than a dozen publishers, her first novel was published in December 2012, followed by her second novel, Aberration, in June 2013. Finding Claire Fletcher won Best Heroine and was runner-up for Best Novel in the 2013 eFestival of Words Best of the Independent eBook Awards. It was a finalist for the Kindle Book Review's Best Kindle Book Awards in 2014. In December 2013, the novel reached number one on Amazon's Bestselling Kidnapping Crime Fiction list; in the same month, her second novel, Aberration reached number one on Amazon's Serial Killer Crime Fiction Bestseller list. Lisa currently resides in Philadelphia with her husband and daughter where she works full time and works on her future novels while waiting in line at the local post office.

An Absolute MUST READ!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

After reading Lisa Regan's ("Regan") debut novel, "Finding Claire Fletcher," which was absolutely amazing, I didn't hesitate at all when her new novel, "Aberration" became available. I quickly delved in and let me tell you, this author does not disappoint. This is one of those psychological thrillers that once you start reading you won't want to stop - trust me. But be forewarned, this book can be quite creepy at times. It'll definitely have you thinking about all the stuff you throw out (you'll understand this more when you read it). This is such a well-written and well thought-out story with the most intriguing and fascinating characters. The story is told from two POV; one being FBI Agent Kassidy Bishop; the other being the serial killer whose calling card is "FOR YOU." Regan keeps you guessing at every turn; you never know which direction she'll take. Even though you learn the identity of the killer, the author keeps you guessing as to why he kills. Talk about being on the edge of your seat reading each and every word, wanting to know what's going to happen next.

By the way, I would just like to add that it's really gratifying to read a novel that doesn't go overboard with such countless details of each and every minute detail to the point you just want to stop reading. (Oh how I detest this.)

If you love psychological thrillers and you haven't, for whatever reason, picked up either book of Regan's, you have to add both of her books to your list of must reads. Both novels in my opinion are worthy of ten huge stars. I so look forward to reading her next novel.

yet another serial murder novel with a different twist

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

I actually really enjoyed this book. A new author for me. The story of a serial killer that doesn't really want to kill and has multiple personality disorder to boot. Not exactly a thriller page turner, but kept me reading in two days. Of course I figured out almost immediately who the killer was so I thought it a bit unlikely that our heroine didn't figure it out earlier than she did. In fact she never did figure it out until he abducted her. The book had some romance, but not over the top romance novel stuff that I've seen in other books by (I almost hate to say it) female authors. So that was refreshing. I think a few things could have been easily researched more. Such as the large white pills that were supposed to be OxyContin. Anyone that has ever had them, or seen the news or read a book that even mentions them knows they are very small pills that are different colors depending on strength. And the description of the pregnancy aches and pains and serious binge eating makes me wonder if the author has ever been pregnant. Anyone I ever knew including myself who has ever been pregnant, morning sickness aside, really didn't have any negative symptoms until at least half way through, nor did they eat whole pizzas and 2 cheeseburgers every hour...seemed a bit over the top to me. Maybe I'm being nitpicky.

That aside, I felt it was a pretty darn good book. Not too many typos, but I did spot a few.
I don't give 5 stars anymore except to very memorable books. Ones that I re-read, or stay with me for years.
Examples are:
One flew over the cuckoos nest
The planet of the apes (has anyone ever read that original book?)
Lonesome Dove
The Cider house Rules
Silence of the Lambs
The green mile
The kite runner
The Godfather
Just to name a few from different genres. But you get the idea. Those books stay with you forever.

This book will have left my memory within a day or two as have all of the kindle books I have purchased in this price range. But it will still keep you entertained for a few hours without taxing your brain.

"Inadequacy - The Hallmark of Violent Criminals"

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Kassidy is an FBI Agent who was credited with catching the sadistic serial rapist Nico Sala who was responsible for 18 rapes; he had to be released, though, due to a technicality! Incredibly, this rapist broke into Kassidy's home and beat her within an inch of her life. Mysteriously, because she doesn't know how she got loose of the ropes tying her to a chair, she is able to kill Sala before she passes out. Five years later Kassidy is a Criminal Investigative Analyst and chasing a UNSUB who is killing indiscriminately it seems, but leaving a message "For You" at each kill.

During this time Kassidy has an on-again, off-again romance with a married man. This is something she is not proud of, but really does love him.

This story is very complex and fascinating; the writing is fast-paced and the storyline is one of the best I've read this year! There are lots of twists and turns and surprises. You may guess who the UNSUB is, but the ending of the story is really outside the box!

The love story is wonderful and the thriller part of the story is very suspenseful! "Aberration" is an enjoyable, engrossing read!

Terrifying with moments that are riveting

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

The story line was compelling, but a bit frightening to think about the criminal mind. Although there are TV shows about profilers, having a full length story enabled the author to develop the characters in more depth. The degree of loss suffered by the characters, was almost too intense at times. I did think the story dragged a bit, and was repetitious in several areas, but not enough to be off-putting.
I would recommend this book for those who enjoy an interplay of minds and a seeking of puzzle pieces along with just enough intensity to keep you reading - but I did not find it to be a "can't put it down" book.

I enjoy Lisa Regan’s imagination. There are twists you don’t see coming. But be warned, they are violent and could be disturbing to some.

Full of twists and turns

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

After reading her debut novel (Finding Claire Fletcher), which was simply brilliant, I was eager to read more of Lisa's books. Aberration is her second novel. When I started this book, I was hooked immediately and excited about settling in for an awesome ride. The tension was incredible - I just could not put it down.

Then BAM. I hit chapter 18 .... the one for me that gave everything away ... I knew immediately who the perp was. From that point on my excitement waned and my focus shifted from being fully involved in the story to sitting on the sidelines and wondering how long it would take for the central FBI characters to figure it out.

There is no doubt that Aberration is well written, meticulously researched, fast paced and full of twists and turns. The psychological and behavioural profile of stalkers/psychopaths was described superbly. On that basis I do recommend this book to readers; the reviews that it has received to date are deserved. However for me, and this is a personal thing, my adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride ran out of g-force all too soon.

I am a fan of this author and will continue to follow her. She is an accomplished writer and, in my view, a real talent in the suspense/thriller genre.
