Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - Asla Ders Almayacaklar

Vigilante feminist killer book with some great twists and very well written! I loved this. I love when an author writes an excellent full complex character that you should be rooting against because they are a murderer but then you find yourself rooting for them…

I like the two different views. I felt the author went seamlessly between Scarlett and Carly . She also starts and ends every chapter excellently which makes the book super propulsive. There are a few things that are far fetched which is why it’s a 4.5 instead of a 5 but tbh I’m okay with it because of how well written this book was. I loved the feminist feeling, how sexual assualt was handled , and also the lgbtqia rep. I will for sure be checking out more from this author.

Is it weird to call a book from the POV of a serial killer "fun"? 'Cause this was.

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!)
