Out of Order Book Club: I Only Killed Him Once (2018)

Welcome to the fourth episode of Out of Order Book Club. In this episode, Mal will be looking at 'I Only Killed Him Once' by New York Times bestselling author Adam Christopher. This is the third book in his LA Trilogy about Ray Electromatic. In this episode, Mal has a problem pronouncing 'tarmacadam', uses the phrase 'ruthlessly efficient' a bit too much, feels a strong connection as an 'out of order' reader with Ray and questions whether she is an 'aspiring writer' or just thinking about being one.
