Carly was really giving 2012 fanfiction main character with her “i’m not like other girls, no one would find plain old me attractive, i only wear black and Doc Martens” and it was annoying. the first major twist was good but i guessed the later one right away, so after

the halfway mark

the story felt predictable

They [Men] want us to bend and bend, let them say and do whatever they want to us. They get away with it, over and over again.

It is so satisfying to read a serial killer killing awful men.

Silent Patient mixed with The Maidens  mixed with The Punisher a bit.... if those characters were written by women, for women.

The first half felt a bit slow, but then a switch flipped and I sped through the rest. Everything after that point was predictable, but in the best way. Knowing where the story was going didn't undermine the tension at all, but increased the need to know how it got there. Absolutely stellar, need more.

As a benchmark, there is a mild secondhand description of a past rape in the first chapter, and the description never really gets more graphic than that.

There is so much to say about this book and certainly not enough words to say it.

In this thriller,  English professor meets serial killer in a gripping story that brings female serial killers to the forefront. This book is not only a show of pure literary excellence from Layne Fargo but a truly twisted and primal take on feminism (and beautiful queer and bisexual representation). The use of dual-narration gives the reader great insight, and with a morally grey protagonist Fargo executes a storyline of vengeance vs victimhood with twists and turns that leave the reader constantly guessing. 

Do you root for the killer or their victims? Who is the true underdog? Were the crimes worthy of the punishment? Is vigilante justice the answer? And is my love for the protagonist worthy of my own psychological evaluation? 

The only way to find out is to keep turning the page and that is certainly not a problem, because Layne Fargo will leave you wanting to know more.
