How do you root for a serial killer? Somehow, Layne Fargo makes you want the fmc, Scarlett, to be a successful serial killer! Scarlett is a professor at a college who allows herself one kill per year. She carefully plots out and researches the men she kills. She only kills men who "deserve it", rapists and predators. Carly is a student who is rife with anxiety. She walks in on her roommate Allison being assaulted by a fellow student at a party and tries to help Allison by reporting the assault which no one believes. I absolutely loved the ending of this book.
I loved that Scarlett and Mina got to have a happily ever after and Mina was supportive of Scarlett's killings.
