I want to thank NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for sending me this eARC in exchange for my honest review. Featuring ~ debut, titled chapters, social media influencer, revenge, serial killer, murders, dark, short chapters, #metoo, some steamage 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. She’s vegan? Really? She should have mentioned that! Oh wait, she did. Like a million times. I am vegetarian myself. I don’t mind vegan. But don’t shove your opinions down my throat all of the time, or I come at you with 🧀! It’s fine to have an opinion ad an author, but it came out too forcefully and belittling at times. Same with the string feminism. Not my style. The brand name dropping. Does the author get commission for that? Annoying. I get it that she is rich but I don’t care for your gazillion of brand names and amount of followers.
Kitty is an influencer turned serial killer ‘a la Dexter’ and I love her! She’s such a bad ass, with a dark dark sense of humor, a lot of sarcasm in her and a little sweet edge. She’s also very psycho.. Being a man I really shouldn't like this book. Well I didn't like it. I loved it! Oh I just couldn't stop reading this.' NetGalley reviewer,She’s the granddaughter of Captain Collins- founder of Collins' Cuts, the reconstructed meat products you see in every freezer and supermarket in the UK. But interestingly she rejects to inherit the bloody family money and staying away from meat products. She still grieves her father who disappeared under false circumstances and she has estranged relationship with her mother who escaped to France, giving her daughter the luxurious London penthouse as farewell gift! 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, This book is dark and I'd say there are definitely sexual assault triggers. The murders done by Kitty can be a bit gruesome. But none of it took away from my enjoyment of the book. Although dark, there is a bunch of dark humor mixed in.
With a succession of gasp-inducing twists and reveals, plus a flurry of love, How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is outrageously gruesome, and devilishly funny with it.Being a man I really shouldn't like this book. Well I didn't like it. I loved it! Oh I just couldn't stop reading this.’ 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 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. UGHHHHH!!!! I REALLY wanted to love this one, or at least slap a Honda Civic Reliable rating on there and call it a day. Women nurdering r@pists? Yes please. And doing so with tongue in cheek humor? Double yes please. Plus, cmon, that title is everything! This was shaping up to be a dark Finlay Donovan-esque book, but unfortunately, it was not meant to be for me 😢 The reason I finished this is because I was hoping and praying it was sort itself out for at least a three star but.... nah. As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now.
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.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. Then we have my least favorite kind of unreliable narrator – the liar for funsies. A "proper" unreliable narrator is one who truly believes what they're saying is reality due to a mental illness or maybe they're constantly coked out and don't know their ass from their mouth. Regardless, lying to the reader about events until the very end just for a lil twisty twist is lazy af. 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. Kitty is a social media influencer with family problems up the wazoo. Socialite mother dabbling in the literal blood money (her father was a slaughterhouse magnate). Daddy issues from her cold and aloof father teaching her that the cast of Charlotte's Web makes for good eatin'? No wonder she's a vegan with a major hang-up about men. 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.
Coming to the whole plot. It was a very interesting plot. We have Kitty Collins who is definitely the female version of Dexter. Meet Kitty Collins, social media influencer (yawns, me and sometimes Kitty!) lover of all good things in life, bit of a snob (that’s being kind) but knows she is and accidental killer and before you know it, whoops, there goes another one. These are men who you could argue (maybe) that deserve it, liars, cheaters, predators, misogynists, so it’s not really murder is it? Is it???? Kitty justifies it by believing she’s reclaiming the night but she has got one other concern - who is the stalker that is sending her very disturbing messages?
Her friends think she’s depressed because she doesn’t get over the betrayal of her first and last boyfriend and now she meets with charming philanthropist Charlie. Can she trust him? Can she control her killer instincts before they take control of her body? 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. 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,
Great Deal
