Trigger warnings: Sexual assault, murder, violence, gore, brief mentions of drug use and drinking.
This book is wildly uncomfortable to read, and that was part of what I loved about it. The idea of a female serial killer targeting strictly men who have assaulted women was satisfying in the darkest possible way and I could not put this book down. It definitely wasn't realistic, but this was definitely a case when that doesn't matter in the least and doesn't detract from the entertainment value of it even a little bit. I loved everything about this.
