This book will not be for everyone but holy moly it’s for me!!! I requested this book based solely on the title and it lived up to my every expectation. There is a lot going on besides killing men but it all circles back to that. I adored the influencer aspect of it because one of my favorite things is to watch influencers. Every time she mentions one of her friends she lists how many followers behind her name. I loved the dark humor in this book so much that it made killing seem funny and okay. No big deal. It’s described as a dark, hilariously twisted story and it truly is every bit of that. The character developed was on point and the twists kept coming. I guess the only part that was a stretch was her moving these bodies. I’m not sure it would have been that easy. It’s told from one POV and even the titles on each chapter was just another reason to love this book. And the ending….the ending was perfect! The creeper was definitely a surprise although if you read carefully you can see it coming. Wicked and clever are two words that come to mind to describe this book. This is Katy Brent’s first book and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. The writing in this book will draw you in and keep you there….if you like this sort of thing. This seemed to be a break from my norm and I’m so glad I got this book! Well done!
