Meet Kitty Collins.

FRIEND. LOVER. KILLER.

He was following me. That guy from the nightclub who wouldn’t leave me alone.

I hadn’t intended to kill him of course. But I wasn’t displeased when I did and, despite the mess I made, I appeared to get away with it.

That’s where my addiction started…

I’ve got a taste for revenge and quite frankly, I’m killing it.

A deliciously dark, hilariously twisted story about friendship, love, and murder. Fans of My Sister the Serial Killer, How to Kill Your Family and Killing Eve will love this wickedly clever novel!

[Doug Engstrom · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I usually like dark humor, but this was a little too dark for my taste. Still, I can see how others might enjoy it.

[Sara Malik · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Very well written. The narrator was a perfect choice and I will seek out other books narrated by her.

[Shannon Scudella · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I am a Kitty fan for life! Wonderful encompassing book!!

[Dana Lane · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was an entertaining read, but it makes the police sound completely incompetent! Lol The theme is a good one, and certain things definitely resound (keys between the fingers, men who take "no" as a challenge, etc)- you even find yourself cheering her on! But the murders, cleanup, and investigations (or seeming lack thereof) kind of make it a bit light on the realistic side of things. Overall, as I said, it was entertaining, but if you're a murder mystery lover, you will find yourself poking holes all through the story most likely!

[Victoria Allen · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was good, but we get it, you’re vegan. Completely irrelevant to the plot and the monologues on animal rights were a bit cringe. We get it.

I have some serious issues with this book.

The main character, Kitty, plays judge, jury, executioner - and even God - because she has decided these men deserve to die. But that’s okay; she’s a rich, famous, and beautiful influencer, so she gets to decide what’s right and wrong. And she also gets to congratulate herself for doing so.

Imagine if this story was flipped around so that it was “How to Kill Women and Get Away With It”. The collective “we” wouldn’t take it nearly as lightly. We certainly wouldn’t consider it to be fun entertainment. Even the image in the book’s cover attempts to make light of the subject matter.

In addition, there are numerous gaps and inconsistencies in this book. The author depends heavily on Deus ex Machina to make the story work (not that it really works). WARNING: SPOILER ALERT……..For example, CCTV systems are conveniently either non-functioning or completely nonexistent, no matter where she goes. Her cell phone never gets traced. Her DNA, fingerprints, etc are never discovered. No witnesses ever see her. And yet, a single cell phone tracker app is somehow able to detect and transmit incredible details about her activities (not just her location) while law enforcement bumbles around like the Keystone cops for all they’re able to prove. It’s ludicrous, really.

Look - I understand that this is meant to be “fun”, but the truth is that it isn’t. Sexual assault, domestic abuse, the objectifying of women, and murder are serious business.

I regret that I chose this book and by doing so supported it, the topic, and the author.
