some of the ways she transported the victims to their final destinations was a bit far fetched. Does she hit the gym behind the scenes? I'm mainly referring to Joel, unless I misinterpreted how she did it. But now she has a stalker on social media who is sending her posts from her crime scenes and following her each steps. And now for what I have to say about the actual book. Cover? 27 out of 10. Title? Fifty’leven out of 10. Content??? Wellllllllll, let’s summarize this one in song, shall we? ♬♪♬ Grab your coat and get your hat – suspend all disbelief at the doorstep ♬♪♬ Why do you think the author included quotes from Jane Eyre and Little Women before the story begins? How to Kill Men was an absolute treat to read, sending out American Psycho and Promising Young Women vibes.' NetGalley reviewer,
I have always been intrigued by the human mind and especially love psychological thrillers. Specifically, in this context, it is particularly intriguing as mental illnesses make one respond in so many different ways, affecting not only their lives but also those of people around them. When something like this is added to the storyline, we get a gripping tale, the types of which are one of my favourites.Many thanks to NetGalley and HQ Digital for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions. Totally interesting premise where Kitty is lady Dexter ~ only taking out the rapists and creeps of the world. Speaking of creeps ~ she has a stalker she names The Creep and I was totally blindsided about who that ended up being. I still don't even know how they knew everything they knew, so yay for that. The killings were pretty graphic and that didn't bother me at all. I like the title, too.
Oh yeah, judging people by the amount of followers. I am sc*m then… 😂 I know, I know, on purpose but annoying nevertheless.

I must admit, I was immediately drawn to this book because of the title. Yeah, I know that’s a stupid reason to read a book, however, after reading the really brief book summary, I highly suspected that the story would be in the dark humor genre, but it was more like a tragicomedy, a term I recently came across. Has anyone else come across this term before? While it may sound like “dark humor”, it’s really not; there are subtle differences between the two. are you telling me there are no working CCTV in the fancy schmancy places this rich broad is hanging out at? Next we have the plant-based meat of this story: the revenge murders. Again, love the concept. And obviously for a story like this, yeeting of disbelief is required. But the murders were TOO laughably solvable. Homegirl was using Tinder to set up these men and you're telling me police didn't cotton on to that? Ok. At least try to do some basic forensic countermeasures like use a burner phone. Even Finlay Donovan was tighter than this.
The next victim also made his bed. She didn’t intend to hurt him. She just wanted him apologize! Oh boy, what the hell is wrong with those guys?It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night. In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter. One night, Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer—I want to tell you everything. Kitty Collins is probably the most unstable female protagonist I’ve ever encountered. She’s a pretty kitty with claws and a lust for blood. You’ll need to read the book to understand her and her reasoning – because I’m not giving away any of her secrets. I did, however, find her choices debatably questionable -- criminal -- and probably insane. Looking to get your teeth into a juicy, darkly funny crime novel at your book group? You’d do well to consider bringing Katy Brent’s How to Kill Men and Get Away With It to the table. From the dedication to the Dexter-like storyline, the complex topic of male predatory behaviour is gradually and cleverly explored. While the killing spree may have been unrealistic and far-fetched, this kept the story light and entertaining, which I enjoyed. Also, various twists and turns are cleverly used to keep the storyline engaging and well-paced.
Although the relatively small cast of secondary characters is not given much depth, they are skilfully used to drive and enrich the story's themes. Jesus Christ, this book. I absolutely loved it. It made me uncomfortable and sad and frustrated and angry, but I loved it.' NetGalley reviewer, One night, after a party at the nightclub, Kitty is followed home by a guy who wouldn’t leave her alone and would not take NO for an answer. During the course of the events, she accidentally pushes him causing his instant death.A story mixed with dark and morbid humor – if you have the stomach for it. Mine was thoroughly tested, and I’ve read some pretty gruesome thrillers through the years. And for those who enjoy graphically detailed displays of sexual encounters, it's here in spades -- most of it very kinky and unmeaningful. Again, not my cuppa. There are just so many good things I could say about this book. I absolutely tore (pun intended) through this read. Everyone needs to go read it.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are just so many good things I could say about this book. I absolutely tore (pun intended) through this read. Everyone needs to go read it.' NetGalley reviewer, She is dead set against murdering animals (agreed here) but she kills men? For a ghosting her friend? Based on the last sentence, it appears there will be a sequel, but based on my experience with this one I don't even know if I care enough about what happens to Kitty.
