5.0
A bit far fetched, but very dark, twisty and fun.
Female serial killers avenging wrongs done to women is a good trope. We support women’s rights and women’s wrongs here.
I wont write a complete review for this because it’s got so many twists and turns I do not want to spoil it for anyone. But anyone who is frustrated or disgusted by the amount of misogyny, especially online, in the world today, this is a cathartic book with lots of dismemberment and blood spatter. I did guess the villain early on but was still taken on a ride of twists and turns and was worried for the character presented as a red herring. Kitty does have a history of cutting off dicks and acting a tad impulsively with her manicide. We delve more deeply into Kitty as a character and I was weirdly sympathetic to her struggles to not murder and quite encouraging of her breaking her serial killer sobriety. Do what you love, girlie.
The ending obviously is setting up the next book so it wasn’t wrapped up nice and tight, however it did leave me wanting more murder and mayhem and comeuppance for horrible men.
*not all men bla bla.
