I don’t want to hype this book up too much… but it’s the first mystery/thriller I’ve read in awhile and it did not disappoint.
I loved the writing of this book. I loved the different POVs and how everything was so strategic. There wasn’t anything in the story that didn’t need to be in there.

Does the idea of a feminist Dexter sound like a good read? If so, read this book.
Look. Scarlett is a brilliant, but cold-hearted killer. But she makes a point of going after only the worst - men on campus who have assaulted and raped and faced no consequences. Is she a bit overkill (pun intended)? Probably. Is it a delightfully fun thriller read? Definitely.
For thriller and horror fans alike - I really enjoyed this book. (read mostly on audio book, and the 2 narrators are great)

We follow Dr. Scarlett Clark, an English professor with a peculiar hobby - murdering evil men. Don't worry: from her perspective, they certainly all deserve what they get.
This is the bisexual revenge fantasy thriller of your dreams (or nightmares). It's filled with dark humor and vigilantism and queer angst. It's beyond devourable.
If you are someone who struggles to stay engaged while reading - this may be your cure. The chapters were SUPER short (typically no more than 5 pages) and most end on a cliffhanger as we switch between POVs. It's like a cheeky drama show cutting to commercials. You've got to keep going!
There was a twist. I guessed it immediately. It didn't lessen my enjoyment in any way.
Is this some deep, nuanced take on sexual violence and rape culture and gender dynamic? Not really. It's not subtle at all. It's just for kicks. And it was a REALLY fun way to spend an afternoon. (I'd watch this show. Give me a show!)

pros
- the assholes got what they deserved
- showing how women can also be complicit (however they never go in depth about it)
cons
- every straight guy being the spawn of satan
- the ending being a little too perfect
- the twist was predictable, the author left too many clues for me at least
- it really wasn't thrilling
overall this book wasn't bad just meh, watch promising young woman instead
Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Sexual harassment
