About this deal

Kitty could've been a great character, but the inconsistencies in her behaviour and logic made her hella annoying. Your trying to appeal to the millennials, but could you kindly take your heavy foot off the accelerator and chill a bit.

I struggled to enjoy Kitty's actions because I was constantly getting hammered in my temple with the OTT Pop Culture References! Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). It’s gruesome in places, again channel Killing Eve but because it’s so well paced you keep reading on partly in horror and partly in admiration- lol! Kitty's backstory drives the plot and its slow, clever, surprising reveal creates more tension and more heightened emotions than most psychological thrillers without being dependent on a 'Ta Da!

Katy Brent has created a brilliant book that acts as social commentary and touches on issues that are a genuine downfall within our society. It makes for a pretty fun read, with a fizzy humor and sarcastic bite that firmly places the power in a character who doesn’t want to deal with victimization, whether it’s towards herself, her friends, or women as a whole, any longer. In serious cases, we realise that a deranged mind, if not given the desired help, can cause serious damage and this book highlights that aspect. Fans of My Sister the Serial Killer, How to Kill Your Family and Killing Eve will love this wickedly clever novel! But now I can’t seem to stop and nor do I want to… I’ve got a taste for revenge and quite frankly, I’m killing it.

Her friends are the stereotypical kind of vapid influencers who show one side to the public and act completely differently behind closed doors. I liked how she stood up for her friends when they were treated less special than her at public events. Another point of contention was the author's cringeworthy pandering and using this book as an opportunity to promote veganism.But now she has a stalker on social media who is sending her posts from her crime scenes and following her each steps. However, Kitty’s wit and cynicism of the world around her and her (often unwitting accidental) homicides, create an engaging character who you root for. Then the fact that the book took a casual approach to whatever was happening meant that I couldn’t completely immerse myself in the gusto that it demanded. All of this comes together to create a taught thriller that brings the reality of what women deal with while making you laugh along the way. This book is the posterchild for how illustrated covers can trick people into thinking they're getting a quirky little rom-com, only to end up with something very not that.

Though even a half-decent police officer could have found a common denomination as she was present at all events related to the crime.

How To Kill Men and Get Away With It is an entertaining, satirical thriller from debut novelist Katy Brent. I found Kitty intriguing – obviously there’s the serial killer streak – but I wanted to know about her past, there’s hints throughout that her childhood wasn’t completely plane sailing. The Creep was leaving graphic comments about using her blood as ky lube but she just let it rock until the very end?

Kitty Collins has grown up around murder, thanks to her family owing the biggest abattoir in the country and, although a Vegan herself, Kitty is more than capable of getting a little blood under her fingernails if the need arises. The casual, conversational writing style is paired with a satirical narrative that is both uncomfortable and entertaining in its use of dark humour and commentary on social issues. Kitty is too complicated to be dismissed with a 'Psychopath - move on' label and too broken to be a cool woman engaged in a guerilla war against the patriarchy. This was also not what I was expecting, but I think it was a lot better – if also a lot more uncomfortable.I don’t even feel the need because I didn’t get this book, How To Kill Men And Get Away With It GOT ME. Kitty justifies it by believing she’s reclaiming the night but she has got one other concern - who is the stalker that is sending her very disturbing messages? How to Kill Men was an absolute treat to read, sending out American Psycho and Promising Young Women vibes (both of which are faves of mine), Kitty narrates her 'Made in. I was expecting this to be full-on cosy crime humour, but this has a close-to-home, hard-hitting angle to the murdery storyline.
