well that was hella twisted but at the same time so well written that i couldnt stop during the last 170 pages
(at the beginning it may have benn a little bit slow but the end made up for it)
loved that there were just a dozen of characters so you couldn't get them confused and all of them at the right amount of screen time (as well as message M which was more dominant at the beginning but played an important role until the end)

Millie Masters is a picture framer by day and runs a safety hotline for women at night following an attack on her sister. But when one of the saves becomes an accidental murder, Millie decides that preventing further attacks is more satisfying than simply saving people. Of course her new boyfriend being a detective might be a small hitch in her vengeful plans… 

The was a sharp and witty tale in which the main character reminded me of Villanelle in Killing Eve. She’s blunt and funny despite her murderous streak and you actually want her to get away with it all!

Millie, quiet and unassuming, starts on a heroic mission that accidentally turns sour because of a family tragedy. It’s a slow burner to start but the pace really picks up towards the end. 
Some funny scenes in it which made me laugh out loud. 
I neither loved nor hated this book. It was a good read, would probably make a good holiday book.

I support women's rights, and more importantly women's wrongs (she did nothing wrong). 

I really enjoyed the jovial writing style, and each reveal of information was well done. Whilst some things were predictable and some silly actions, it was relatively realistic and didn't detract from my overall enjoyment. I enjoyed the relationships in the book, especially the "I'd do anything for you" type of love outside of a romantic relationship. Every character had a purpose, even if very minor, and the ending tied everything up well. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would love to read more like it. Thank you to netgalley for the arc.
