This Girl's A Killer by Emma C. Wells
5.0
This book was everything that I love about a “supporting women’s wrongs” type of story!
Our FMC, Cordelia Black, is a big-shot pharmaceutical rep by day, and a karma-dealing serial killer by night. She's made it her mission to rid the world of the monsters that walk it, but when her best friend starts dating one of said monsters, her two worlds threaten to cave in on her.
I really enjoyed the author’s writing style, I thought she did a very good job of creating that anxious/paranoid feeling that comes with a downward spiral. From about the halfway point on I was on the edge of my seat, literally unable to put this book down because I needed to know what was going to happen next. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when, specifically in crime fiction, things start to feel unbelievable, but that never happened for me in this book. I thought the way Cornelia's life started to unravel helped the story feel... dare I say relatable? I think most people know that feeling of when nothing is going your way and you just can't catch a break.
I also thought she did an excellent job of crafting a main character who is clearly unhinged and loosing control, but I still couldn’t help rooting for. I am so hoping there will be another Cordelia Black book as it would seem her work is far from finished.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
