There's graphic descriptions of violence, so if you find that triggering, proceed with caution. But I will be recommending this book to everyone. It was amazing and I finished it in a night bc I couldn't put it down

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!)

CW: murder, death, sexual assault, violence, sexual harassment, rape, blood, sexism, misogyny, abuse, stalking, toxic relationship, fire, vomit, infidelity, bullying, drugging
