I read a lot of books centred around women who k!ll. I've noticed a trend within the genre. Most of ones published in the UK are light, fluffy, and cosy(ish), whereas the ones coming from the US are grittier and more action focused. There are exceptions, but for the most part that's how things go. This book is American.
It's like the author sat down and thought 'What if Dexter, but feminist?' I only read the first in the Dexter series, but this book was very reminiscent of that. In the same sort of vein as Emily Kimelman's Sydney Rye series.
On the whole, it wasn't quite what I was expecting … but I find myself hoping there will be more in the series.
