I liked this one a lot! It could not have come at a better time for me. A sociopathic professor murders men who harm women on the college campus where she teaches. There's a little bit of a fun twist to it and it kept me interested. I also felt like the main character's sociopathic tendencies tracked with the non-fiction sociopathy book I read this year.

challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

This book was sooooo tense and so fast paced I LOVED IT!

Yes you figure Carly is Scarlet pretty quickly

but still, it was feet-kicking, jumping-on-the-couch and staying-up-all-night tense for me!

readingpicnic's review against another edition

4.5

Okay I love this genre of woman punishing men for their abuse, in the realm of Sadie and The Female of the Species, but this one being more new adult/adult. I absolutely did not see the twist coming halfway through

with Scarlet and Carly being the same person, and I was truly flabbergasted, slack-jawed, distraught even.

I knew that dumbass

red diary

was going to screw things up, but I’m so happy with the ending. They’re adorable <3 The audiobook narration was chilling.

First book in a while that has kept me up at night reading! So I think that's deserving of four stars. I don't usually read thrillers, but this one kept me captivated until the very end even despite if it sometimes feels a little tropey. Also the plottwist in the middle!!! I gasped out loud.
