 Thank you Frenzy Books for the eARC! I had conflicted feelings about this book. It reminded me of Black Sheep by Brynne Weaver because of the sassy MC and the female serial killer, but I think this book needed just a bit more tweaking. I thought this book really hit home about the dangerous situations women face in their day-to-day lives, and I thought the situations were relatable. This book also has quite a few trigger warnings that I think should have been listed at the beginning, especially with the way some of these topics were discussed in the story. I was enjoying the book until maybe the halfway point, and then I just started feeling uncomfortable because of how these dark topics like the miscarriage and sexual assault was being handled. i think the author could have taken a bit more care regarding the miscarriage, because I felt this was a bit unnecessary. The plot didn’t seem very realistic regarding the murders, because with the way Kitty was doing things, I’m surprised she wasn’t discovered sooner. Also, the way she disposed of the bodies was a bit unnerving, especially because she didn’t separate the human meat from the animal meat. I thought Kitty came across as a bit entitled, so I wasn’t a huge fan of her and wasn’t really rooting for her by the end. Overall, this book does have the potential to be great, but I don’t think it was for me.

Not groundbreaking but incredibly enjoyable and actually had me LOLing a few times. A dark story with the perfect amount of comic relief.
