You know what - this actually wasn't bad at all lol. It did take some getting used to the whole absurdity of the situation, but once you embrace the fact that this posh influencer girlie goes around chopping up rapists and sex offenders like she's doing her laundry, it gets quite entertaining.

The writing is very fast paced, which allows for a quick and easygoing read, and as you move along the story, puzzle pieces about the protagonist's past fall into place and things just get decidedly more unhinged. It was a bit too over the top sometimes, though. Plus, most of the plot consists of how she finds and kills her victims, which only barely managed to avoid getting tedious. Some details were rushed, some a bit random, but all in all, it was good.

Anyway, I liked the story once I accepted it for what it was. It was refreshingly unhinged and VERY soothing for my vengeful little man-hater heart.

4.0

The ending was a bit of a let down, but not enough to destroy this. This was what I hoped from A Certain Hunger, I'm so happy that I read this so close to that.

jennylo's review

dark lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

Almost a beach read, a very quick and easy read that isn't challenging or complex. I did read it very quickly, not from a huge amount of enjoyment, but from seeing if I guessed the twist correctly (I did, go me). Not an essential read, but again, an easy pallette cleanser if your ok with moderate gore.
