\n

\"This novel draws in readers with its romantic tension, character introspection, and suspense. A blend of wit, humor, romance, and intrigue, it\'s perfect for fans of Elle Cosimano\'s Finlay Donovan series or Benjamin Stevenson\'s Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone.\" - Library Journal, starred review

\n
\"A wild, often humorous ride through best-selling name brand writers and a maybe-murderous stalker who goes by the nickname The Rabbit, Murder Your Darlings is also an insider\'s look at fans, book tours and the creative demands of the marketplace.\" - Boston Herald
\"In a spicy romantic suspense novel that moves among the perspectives of three characters-Sam, William, and the Rabbit-Blum follows Sam as she loses herself in a maze of desire littered with the dreams and bodies of other women writers. To escape, she must form unlikely alliances that bring her back to a self and path she lost. Smart and darkly funny, Blum\'s novel offers a biting commentary on romance, revenge, and the ways writers can \'get inside us...and change us.\' A smart, sexy thriller that disturbs as it satisfies.\" - Kirkus Reviews
\"Narrated by Sam, William, and the Rabbit, Blum\'s latest gleefully exploits each unreliable point of view as the suspense builds to a surprising and wickedly twisted conclusion. Readers who enjoy the bookwriting mysteries of Anthony Horowitz and Sulari Gentill will love this complex tale about love, lust, and literature.\" - Booklist
\"Fun, twisty...Blum-a successful novelist and co-founder of the popular Mighty Blaze podcast, knows of what she writes. In its observations about the pressures of publishing and its inverse-the heartbreak of not publishing-the novel is at times so close to the bone that it makes one wonder why anyone would want to engage in the business of books at any level. But don\'t let that dissuade you-this book is not only good fun, but it ends with a homage to the business: \'We writers, all of us, need booksellers. And readers! What would we do without you? You save our lives.\'\" - Literary Hub
\"Witty send-up of the publishing industry . . . . Funny, surprising, and razor-sharp about the book business\'s ruthlessness, this adds up to a captivating tale of love, death, and revenge. Thriller fans will be eager to see what Blum does next.\" - Publishers Weekly
\"Entertaining . . . Rotating points of view keep the momentum thrumming. . . . Overlapping storylines merge ever faster toward a satisfyingly surprising finale, capping a bright and brisk read.\" - WBUR NPR radio

\"Murder Your Darlings is that one book that holds a dark mirror to the soul of anyone who has ever longed for a connection. It will seduce you with its prose, haunt you with its insights, and leave you breathless with its twists.\" Bestsellersworld.com
\"I picked this for readers who love bookish thrillers, publishing-world drama, and smart, feminist psychological suspense, especially fans of The Plot or Yellowface. It made me feel both entertained and enraged-in a good way-at the way the book skewers the literary world\'s treatment of women while still delivering juicy twists.\" BiblioLifestyle

\"Is it wrong to call a serial killer novel fun? Because Murder Your Darlings is great fun-a delicious satire of the writing life as well as a genuinely gripping thriller.\" - Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of The Oligarch\'s Daughter
\"I have loved every single one of Jenna Blum\'s novels but Murder Your Darlings hits it out of the park. By turns hilarious and terrifying, this brilliant satire of the literary world gets at essential truths about the misogyny and sexism that permeate our culture, perfectly laying bare the experience of, well, being a female human in our flawed country. I loved it and quite literally could not put it down.\" - Joanna Rakoff, internationally bestselling author of My Salinger Year
\"Bestseller Blum\'s diabolically clever first thriller is literally fireworks on the page. An absolutely killer tale of love, publishing (and desperate-to-publish writers); lusty sex, murder and hopeless desire-both for fame and for what feeds our hearts, it\'s also hilarious funny, with bolts-from-the-blue surprises on every paragraph. Catnip for readers and essential for anyone who\'s ever gleefully fantasized about revenge. To say I adored this would be an understatement.\" - Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
\"Good grief, this book is so not put-down able. Although a girl does have to eat. And sleep. Such a smart book!\" Elizabeth Berg, bestselling author of Earth\'s the Right Place for Love
