About this deal

Kitty is a delight. Never thought that word would describe a serial killer, but she's absolutely delightful. Witty, hilarious, and on occasion she happens to murder men.' NetGalley reviewer, being a vegan is totally fine with me, it's not how I live, but why ya gotta make me question what's in my meat so much? I was worried the first chapter of the book that the main Character Kitty might just be annoying; but was pleasantly surprised by how this book came together. She's really something else, isn't she? I expected something more Finlay Donovan style ('ups, I don't know how it happened' kind of thing). But this one's not joking around.

HOW TO KILL MEN AND GET AWAY WITH IT is an aggressively decent read, but it's heavy on the gore and I don't really think the cover prepares you for that. There's a lot of rather graphic torture and murder scenes, including some of animals. The tonal shifts were rather jarring, although I do think this would translate well to the screen. I kept envisioning it as one of those quirky streaming murder shows, like My Life Is Murder or Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries. I think it would translate well to screen. It was just a little too much for me and I felt like the ending was a little silly. I loved the humour of this book and couldn't get enough of this story. I definitely recommend this as a must read.' NetGalley reviewer, i really loved how each chapter showed the name of the location they were in (ie certain restaurants or a certain hotel, etc.) I absolutely, massively disliked Kitty. I do realise that she was written like that on purpose, but come on, I can take it only that long… it's a bit too heavy on the influencer status ~ we know the follower count of every person we meet.

I'd recommend this book to people who enjoyed the show Dexter and looking for a woman's take on it.

I hadn't intended to kill him of course. But I wasn't displeased when I did and, despite the mess I made, I appeared to get away with it. If you're a fan of the 'Sweet Pea' series or 'Killing Eve', this book is for you. Engaging, addictive and thought-provoking, this read has it all!' NetGalley reviewer,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. And lastly, before I get into some spoilers, I'm not a fan of smut in my mystery/thrillers. Ain't no way you're afraid to have a picnic in a park but let some dude finger bang you outside of an axe throwing facility?????? Maybe I'm exposing myself as a "prude", but... are ya'll letting a mans pull your titties out and dj your nips on a regular Tuesday afternoon in a CCTV monitored elevator??? Nothing. I've been trying to come up with any aspects that I liked about this book, but I seriously couldn't think of anything.

A really thought provoking read that had so many elements and so many layers to it. It was so gripping too I finished it within a couple of days.' NetGalley reviewer, The side characters. Each and every one of them felt like a caricature or a parody. None of them were properly fledged out. I also disliked how a lot of them were introduced with their name and then their follower count. Yes, I get that the author was probably trying to empathize Kitty's priorities there, but I still found it dumb. The book summary basically just lays out the start of the story. There is also a secondary storyline of a creep who is stalking Kitty. While a lot of readers will find Kitty totally unlikeable, I actually found her entertaining. I liked how she stood up for her friends when they were treated less special than her at public events. No, she is not someone I would choose as a friend or even someone I would socialize with, but as an MC, she was so snarky and snappy, I couldn’t help but laugh at her, pretty much from the get-go. I love MC(s) that can make me laugh😊 Her taste for revenge, esp. with respect to men who wrong women, becomes very strong and she feels as if she is on a mission, until she does something completely wrong, messing up everything.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, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ According to Charlie, “ You know your problem, Kitty Collins? Your heart is too big”, and “ I love how deeply you care about people.”. Is he right about her being a big-hearted, caring person? He doesn’t look like a monster though. But they don’t, do they? Otherwise, they’d never get the opportunity to be monsters.” – Katy Brent, How to Kill Men and Get Away with It One sentence review: It had all the right ingredients but the proverbial baking soda was expired so this did not rise to expectations
