This Girl's a Killer by Emma C. Wells

challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

A sharp, thrilling dive into the mind of a vigilante with a flair for justice and a killer sense of style. Cordelia Black is equal parts terrifying and captivating—an antiheroine who unapologetically takes out the trash while maintaining a flawless image as a pharma rep by day.

The story is fast-paced and deliciously dark, with a razor-sharp wit that makes Cordelia's internal monologue as compelling as her late-night "karma" missions. The tension ramps up when her seemingly perfect system begins to unravel, especially as her best friend's new boyfriend becomes a potential threat to her carefully curated world.

Wells does a fantastic job of exploring moral gray areas, making you question whether to root for or fear Cordelia. Her chosen family adds depth and heart, grounding the story in relationships that feel real and raw.

If you’re into morally complex protagonists, dark humor, and suspense with a side of sass, this one’s a must-read. Cordelia Black is a character you won’t forget anytime soon.
