ARC Review: My Wife is a Serial Killer by JD Setzer
A Raw and Visceral Experience
This story is gritty, powerful, and honestly, it tears you apart from the inside. For me, it was more than just a thriller; it was a mirror to the past. Having personally survived domestic violence and psychological abuse, every page resonated with a deep, painful familiarity. JD Setzer captures these themes with a raw honesty that is rare to find.
Lean, Mean, and To the Point
One of the best things about this book is its pacing. JD Setzer knows exactly how to hook a reader from the prologue and keep them gripped until the very last word of the epilogue. There is no unnecessary "filler" or long-winded explanations—the story goes straight to the heart of the matter. It is a masterclass in tension and focused storytelling.
Character Justice and Impact
The character development is superb. They feel incredibly credible and real, which makes the stakes feel even higher. As a passionate reader, I truly appreciated how the story makes you question the social systems we live in. Most importantly, there is a profound sense of catharsis: seeing the "bad guys" finally pay the price for their evil was deeply satisfying.
The Stunner of an Ending
The ending left me completely paralyzed—in the best way possible. It was a perfect conclusion to a story that breathes pure tension throughout. If you enjoy thrillers that are well-constructed and don't pull any punches, this is the book for you.
Final Verdict
Rating: 5/5 Stars ★★★★★
Atmosphere: Tense and heavy.
Characters: Highly believable and grounded.
Pros: Fast-paced, emotionally resonant, and justice-driven.
Congratulations to JD Setzer for an excellent piece of work!

Review of advance copy received from Author
What would you do if you worked in a setting where you witnessed kids coming in, abused in every way, by the hand of one or both parents? Would you be angry? Would you be sad? Would you ignore it? Or would you do something about it? This book lures you right in within just a few pages. To be fair, be sure to read the trigger warnings at the beginning. I missed those. This book does contain 2 pretty detailed "smut" scenes, which had I read the triggers, I'd have known this. I originally gave this 4 stars due to having the smut, but upon learning it was listed in the beginning, that is a ME issue, not on the author or this book, so I now give it 4.5 stars. This was definitely a book that was difficult to put down and the characters were all relatable. It is also a book I recommend reading. I have yet to read a book by this author that I have not thoroughly enjoyed.

My Wife Is A Serial Killer
Author: J.D. Setzer
Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book by J.D. Setzer is an extremely dark and twisted psychological thriller, exciting and addictive.
I could feel the suspense growing from page one, I was pulled in and hooked into this fast-paced and short chapter novel.
Harlow Steele works as a psychiatric nurse tending to severely abused children, she is devoted to their healing, but the failing justice system sending the kids back to their abusers angers her.
On her shifts at the hospital Harlow is seen as warm-hearted with a dedication to see to the kids care and healing, and wellbeing, by night she turns in someone much more dangerous, watch, plan, act with calculated precision.
Jude her colleague and lover is totally unaware of her sinister night-time activities, Harlow is his life, his future and his place of safety, and when bodies are discovered and the horrifying truth begins to be realised, Jude's mind is in turmoil.
My Wife Is A Serial Killer certainly had me on edge, it's an awesome suspense novel, and I could feel the intensity within the amazing characters.
Overall I absolutely loved this psych thriller by J.D. Setzer.
Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Well, that happened lol.
I absolutely love a female Vigilante, just something about those stories that I just love. Harlow is a hero both at work and after she clocks out, she goes to great lengths to protect and keep the kids safe that come to her at the psych unit at the hospital she is a nurse at. Those kids don’t always get justice and the systems fails them time after time and most of the time, they don’t listen to the kids, but Harlow makes sure that the worst of the worst are taken care of so they never hurt their children it any one else every again, but she’s newly married and when her husband finds out about het secret, things take a turn and she’s not sure what happens next.
This one ends on a cliff hanger and I cannot wait to find out what happens next!

Harlow works as a psych nurse on the same unit as her psych tech husband, Jude. Together they work on a team that deals with a lot of children and families that are in the system. It bothers most people the things that were done to these children but it especially bothers Harlow. She decides to take justice into her own hands as deaths turn to cold cases. Will she be able to keep her secret forever or will she tell her husband? If he finds out, will he turn her in?
This book is very fast paced and it draws you in right from the beginning. This was the first book I’ve read of J. D.’s and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be an ARC reader. If you want to be sucked into a good book, you should read this one.

This was my first book by JD and I have to say I am not disappointed! This book kept me guessing the entire time. It was very interesting and entertaining. I loved how I was rooting for the “bad guy”. Because let’s me honest… they deserved it lol. The only complaint I really had about this book, is I wish it was longer! When it was over I just wanted more! I know there’s gonna be a second book and thank goodness for that lol. All in all this was a fun thriller and I will be reading more from this author!

Vigilante justice at its finest! Jude and Harlow find love in the midst of psych unit chaos. Tending to children who’ve been failed by an unjust system sparks a ravenous anger in Harlow and she refuses to leave things to the system that has proven faulty time and time again.
Jude is head over heels in love with Harlow, their love story is nothing short of adorable and comforting but they see things differently. Where Jude is a strict rule follower, Harlow likes to take things into her own hands. How many rules will have to be broken and which rule will break them? I have so many questions and cannot wait to read the continuation of this story!
JD continues to deliver binge worthy reads and I’ll forever be a fan!

This was an amazing book. We learn early on that Harlow is a serial killer with the greatest of intentions but her significant other doesn't know. Most people don't know.
Will she be able to continue without getting caught? Can she hide this part of her life?
This book is part love story part psychological thriller. It is well written and will keep you wanting more!

Thank you J.D. Setzer for the advance copy of your book. This is my first book of yours and I was very surprised how fast paced it was and how it pulled me in from chapter one. I love the cover and the short chapters, that kept me turning pages. It would have been read in one sitting but life gets in the way. The ending felt very rushed to me so that is the reason for the 4 🌟 review. I will be on the look out for your other books.
Review of advance copy received from Author
I received this book as an ARC, it's release day is around 21 March.
Harlow is a Psych Nurse by day. She heals, she listens, she breaks inside. Abused children come in bruised, shattered, and broken and then get released back to their abusers - through a system that is flawed and tragic. Her husband Jude works the night shift there. While Jude is working, Harlow seeks her own justice - in the dark...
Their love is beautiful, and they have a system to communicate with each other when they're not together. Jude has no idea about Harlows focused agenda.
Will he find out???
This book had me in a chokehold from the start. I was fully invested in this story of both love and vigilante justice. It's brutal, depraved, and morally gray. A Psychological Thriller that will have you thinking "awwwww" one minute, then "OMFG" the next!!! The ending near took me clean out.
SHELVE THIS BOOK ON GR IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks J.D, my third book of yours, and I cannot wait to read the rest. Your writing is so deep I had zero awareness of what was going on around me. I was so engrossed in the character's, twists, and your descriptive prose. That's talent indeed! 🥰

Dark, twisted, and completely addictive.
My Wife Is a Serial Killer pulls you into a chilling moral gray area where justice and vengeance blur in the most unsettling way. Harlow Steel is a psychiatric nurse dedicated to helping abused children—but when the system fails them, she takes matters into her own hands in ways that are both horrifying and strangely compelling.
The story masterfully balances love and suspicion through Jude’s perspective. Watching him slowly question the woman he trusts most creates a constant tension that keeps the pages turning. The emotional conflict between love and truth is what really drives this thriller, and it’s impossible not to feel the weight of every revelation.
Dark, intense, and morally complex, this book forces you to ask an uncomfortable question: what happens when the person delivering justice becomes the monster?
If you love psychological thrillers with morally twisted characters, shocking tension, and stories that keep you thinking long after the final page, this one is absolutely worth the read.

“My Wife is a Serial Killer” by J. D. Setzer is vigilante justice at its absolute finest. Dark, intense, and razor-sharp, it grabbed me from the first page and refused to let go. I didn’t just read this book, I devoured it.
Setzer masterfully crafts morally gray characters who challenge your sense of right and wrong. You’ll find yourself questioning your own boundaries as the story unfolds, torn between horror and understanding. That tension is what makes this book so addictive. The pacing is relentless, every chapter pushes you forward, raising the stakes and tightening the grip.
This isn’t just a thriller; it’s a deep dive into justice, morality, and the lengths someone will go to when the system fails. I closed the book exhilarated and already impatient for what’s next.
J.D. Setzer has officially become an author I would read without even knowing the premise. If he writes it, I’m in. I can’t wait to see what he does next.

First off I'd like to say if I was a writer I hope I'd be half the writer J.D is.
He nailed the passion, the secrets, the reality of bad things in life in this book, it was a quick read but only because you can't put it down. the story is constantly rolling, in a good way. Harlow had some great support. ride or die baby.
I was low key like wtf at the end and then I saw to be continued and felt so relieved because the ending leaves you with a big question, I really hope the to be continued is true and he's not playing with us 😂 Thank you for the opportunity to be able to read this book before it's released, if there's a next book I hope I'm picked again

I just finished My Wife is a Serial Killer last night. I love the book and because of the ending I have to wait! As someone else before me said, dick move lol. Very well played!
I love Harlow and Jude together soooo much! But now I have to wait on part 2 to find out how this nurse/doctor duo work. Their love story is great! Her reasoning for things she does is great! I love their journals for each other.
Can't wait for MORE!

“My Wife is a Serial Killer” by JD Setzer is a very dark, twisted psychological thriller. The fast pace and short chapters will have you saying “just one more…” until (BAM!) you’ve finished the book before you even meant to. High suspense, edgy, intense with hyper realistic characters that you’ll sometimes root for in a way that makes you feel very uncomfortable. Who doesn’t love a vigilante? I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read what happens next!

This indie author did NOT come to play. 🔥
Harlow Steel is raw and ruthless when it comes to protecting children. A psychiatric nurse by day, justice dealer by night who makes sure abusers never walk free. Her husband Jude is left balancing love, loyalty, and the weight of her secrets. This book is dark, addictive & unapologetically twisted.

I received an ARC copy for my honest review!
I loved that it was fast-paced and it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I enjoyed the developing love story between Harlow and Jude. This book is about love, secerets, the justice system, and so mcuh more!
There are quite a few questions I had, so I hope there is a second book to follow up.
I really enjoyed this female vigilante book.

If you are looking for something twisted to read, this is it. Love, lies, secrets, and murder. The words in these pages will leave you wanting more.
Harlow is a nurse at a psychiatric hospital caring for abused children. When the system fails the children and allows their abusers to remain out in the open, Harlow takes matters into her own hands. How long can she go before being found out?

This was a really good thriller! I didn't want to put it down to do anything else. Harlow is a psychiatric nurse and will do anything to keep the abusers out of her patients lives. Her husband, Jude, is clueless until he stumbles upon something very eye opening. New release on March 13th. Definitely a must read! Thank you J. D. Setzer for allowing me to read this ARC!
March 23, 2026
This book had me sucked in from the beginning. Jude and Harlow meet at their job and get married but Jude doesn't know the secrets Harlow carries. The one thing about secrets they don't stay quiet forever. I cant believe this book is left on a cliffhanger. I'm patiently waiting for book 2 now.
February 20, 2026
I had way too much fun reading this one. It’s not about shocking twist after twist, it’s about the way the story is told. The writing is so detailed and immersive that I felt completely pulled in from the start! 🔥
It’s fast, gripping, and one of those reads where you look up and realize you flew through half the book without meaning to. Absolutely top-tier for me 👌 💯

A fast paced one day knock out! Those who hurt children and beat and beat their spouses to show dominance are some of the worst. Monsters are real and they walk upon us every single day. The system is incredibly broken. Why not take matters into your own hands....
I love JDs writing style. Every book I have read by him has the most raw and emotional impact with every page you turn. He brings that piece to life.
Don't hesitate to grab this when it releases. Harlow and Jude are waiting on you.

I got My Wife is a Serial Killer as an ARC, and I have been waiting patiently for it to be released so that I could review it. I am not a professional and experienced book reviewer, so forgive my inability to write out summaries, etc. I am just going to tell you how I felt while reading it!
I LOVED reading this book! It is fast paced with short chapters which is highly appreciated by a lot of suspense and thriller readers like me. I think the characters are developed well and in a way where there are relatable and believable, and I LOVE a morally grey character that I can still root for while being simultaneously horrified. I was able to easily binge it in one sitting, and it left me wanting more, so I will be impatiently waiting for book two now. I am always searching for books (specifically in the suspense and thriller genre) that don't drag through tons of pointless, repetitive internal dialogue and waxing poetic about emotions just to fill pages, and this book is raw, gritty, and oh so satisfying because it gets to the point and takes you on a ride the entire time. This is my first JD Setzer book, and I am already addicted to his style of writing, and I can't wait to read more!!

The system is flawed and real monsters walk amongst us. You know the type, raping and beating women and children. Then what happens? The system sends the victims back to the monsters. What if you could eradicate those monsters? What if you could make it look like an accident or suicide? Vigilante Justice never looked as good as it does in J.D. Setzer’s My Wife Is a Serial Killer. This book was a dark and emotional thrill ride laced with sentimental anecdotes from JD’s marriage. Don’t worry, Haley Setzer is not out seeking vigilante justice. A 5 star must read.
March 3, 2026
This was a quick and easy read that I finished in under four hours. The storyline was intriguing and kept my attention throughout. However, it felt like a few threads were left unresolved by the end. I’m hoping this means there’s more to come, as I’d definitely be interested in continuing the story.

I had the privilege of receiving an ARC from the author. My review of the book is from my reading experience.
J.D. SETZER has written a raw and gritty psychological thriller. I was 100% invested in the character from the beginning. The questions of right and wrong savior or killer will play in your mind well after the last page.
I highly recommend reading any this J.D. SETZER books.

The twisted logic of vigilante justice combined with true love will make you release the breath you didn't know you were holding 😂 The story is fast paced and it's a pretty quick read, especially if you like short chapters. I really enjoyed the dual POVs, and the fact that he added a little spice in this book was the cherry on top. Another beautifully written psychological thriller from my favorite indie author. 10/10 would recommend!
