Dexter meets sex and the city!
Holy moly! This book blew me out of the water. When I first started all I could think was this is going to be so cliche but I was so wrong! I absolutely devoured this book. I found myself chuckling at probably very inappropriate times. Loooooove!

A lot darker than most of the books I have been reading. While there is quite a bit of humour throughout the book, it is very dark. The twists and turns throughout kept me engaged in the story despite the graphic gore. I wanted to try something different - this was absolutely different.

Would have DNFd but could feel a twist coming and wanted to know what it would be.
I was intrigued by the premise, and it was very easy to keep reading, but I felt like there were plot holes needing addressing.

Started this book at 1 a.m. during my exam weeks. Huge mistake! Couldn‘t put it down and actually spoiled myself as to who the stalker was to even go to sleep. Needless to say I basically finished the book in a day. The characters are not really loveable but oddly charming and the dark humour was right up my alley.

I‘m really glad Kitty doesn’t get caught

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.
