4.0

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.

A sapphic female vigilante serial killer of men who hurt women, how could I ever ask for more? This was healing in a way I cannot describe but absolutely want more of.
