I don't know how I feel about this book to accurately give it a star rating. On one hand, I think I liked it? On the other hand, wtf was that?! I feel like this is the kind of book someone writes hoping it'll get picked up to be a made for tv movie. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. But I'm also not mad I read it.

I loved Saffy and her story, how she beloved in her own cause! The stalking

I loved reading from both POV’s which really made the book, as did the gory parts! Which I personally love.

This is the first thriller by the author and I really hope more follow!

This was a delightful little murder read. The murderer(s) were fairly predictable, but it wasn’t really a “murder mystery”, so I’ll let that slide. I feel like Saffy being so into Jon is a bit unbelievable, but that’s fiction for you! Fun, quick read.

You know that saying, "Behind every great man is a great woman"? What it really means is this: Behind every man, no matter what his merit, there is a perfectly normal woman working her ass off to make sure that everything works out the way it's supposed to.

I love any book about psychotic women, but this one was especially good. Bad Men follows Saffy Huntley-Oliver, a young, female socialite who just happens to be a serial killer of misogynistic men, and Jonathan Desrosiers, a true-crime podcaster who is framed for a murder he didn't commit.

This book is thrilling and twisty with just the right amount of levity to make the reader laugh. I stayed past my bedtime (9 pm - don't judge me) because I couldn't put it down and literally had to check under my bed before I could sleep (no murderers - just hair ties and socks). I highly recommend it if it sounds like your thing!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
