Thank you NetGalley for this audiobook

Book 2 in my roadtrip and I really enjoyed this one!! It was a touch slow in the middle and I honestly expected more of Saffy's POV and previous crimes but the latter half and ending absolutely paid off. I would love to read more of Saffy in the future and more about her previous murders (I don't really care for John tbh, but it does play into my love of books of psychopath women protecting bumbling detectives ala The Kind Worth Killing). The combination of Saffy righting wrongs via murder while also being wildly rich and uptight was very entertaining and the narrator played her voice to perfection. Definitely keeping my eye out for Eat Slay Love!

I usually don't write bad reviews but I think I need to clarify.  I liked the writing it was funny and witty. I also liked the main plot line but

the stal ing and the lying just didn't sit right with me. The FMC manipulated the MMC into the hole relationship and it just feels so wrong. I feel iky and really didn't like that they ended up together.
