🍸 Instagram star and influencer, Katy Collins is surrounded by fame and fortune. A normal night out turns into a freaky accidental death of the man who followed her from the nightclub. But what also remained is a new addiction - the thrill of killing.

🍸 Dark, twisted and hilarious. It had those dark comedy thriller elements that I normally gravitate towards. Loved the pop culture references.

🍸 The plot lacked some originality and often lost its sense of realism. Overall story felt like it was from a TV series. It's obvious these characters aren't people you'd want to hangout with and Katy Brent has perfectly created them to be so toxic.

I absolutely loved this book - definitely for fans of HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY, SWEETPEA, FINLAY DONOVAN and KILLING EVE.

The title of this book is what drew me in initially but I stayed for Kitty Collins.

It’s all so cleverly thought out - Kitty is a social media influencer, who’d expect her to accidentally become a killer.

It’s quite a graphic book - murder, sex and animals - mixed in with some very dark humour.

Even though I didn’t crack on to who the stalker was, it was actually quite obvious though it could’ve been written with a better twist.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the darkness of this book - maybe because I do hate most men...
