[edit]
3.5 stars.

I have two words for this book: female Dexter. Don’t get deceived by the cute and colourful cover, this book has a lot of graphic blood and gore, which I didn’t expect coming in!

Kitty Collins was a celebrity influencer, but she didn’t just spend time posting pics of herself and watching her number of followers grow. When she accidentally killed a guy, it started something in her. Sometimes, someone had to take out the trash in society, right?

Kitty was full of contradictions. She claimed to be beyond superficial things, yet she surrounded herself by shallow friends. She didn’t like people who judged others based on the number of Instagram followers, yet she did it herself. She was a vegan, yet she killed people and enjoyed the sight of blood!

So why did I like this book?! My critical brain said I shouldn’t have enjoyed this book as much as I did, but my heart did. Oh well.

TW: r*pe and abuse.

This is AN INCREDIBLE book. Kitty is that perfect likeable/not likeable kind of character and I mean... she kills r*pists. I loved it. I cant believe that this is the author's debut and I cant wait to see what comes next.

Starting the new year with a stab!

How to Kill Men & Get Away With It was a bloody fun way to kick off my 2023 reading. Kitty Collins is a major social media influencer who has a bit of a secret. After she “accidentally” kills an absolute creeper who followed her from a bar, something awakens inside of her. She realizes that her calling may be more than just reposting gorgeous bikini pictures and sponsored posts. As she begins her Vigilante quest (living by Dexter Morgans code of course) to remove all creepers from Tinder and save womankind everywhere, we begin to discover that the rabbit hole goes way deeper than we first thought.

If you are looking for a quick, comedic romp following an influencer with a penchant for knives as she rids the world of creeps and f*ckbois in fabulous shoes this is for you. I will say there are some triggers in this book as they discuss suicide, rape and assault attempts.

This was a three star read for me and I’m keeping everything crossed that Kitty makes it to the big screen or at the very least a Netflix / HBO adaption.

Happy Reading!

Honestly I chose this book for the cover and title. Honestly, how can you pass that up? It’s a WILD ride from beginning to end, can be a bit predictable but honestly it was so fun and crazy I didn’t even mind. Give this one a go!

Thank you to netgalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I couldn’t oh this one down. Extremely enjoyable and fun read. The way the author has crafted these murders and how it unfolds in brilliant.

What would you get if you mixed Made In Chelsea with the #MeToo movement and a touch of My Sister The Serial Killer? You would get something a bit like How To Kill Men And Get Away With It. 3.5 star read for me. It was a fast pace read and lots of tongue in cheek humour. However Kitty's character is a bit all over the place and not at all likeable. I actually wanted her to be caught. Another negative: I felt like I was lectured about veganism at times and that was a bit of a turn off

I mean, with a title like that who doesn’t want to read this?

Unreliable narrator and a ‘I’m loving this but improbably shouldn’t vibe’ this book was a tonic.

Twisted and funny, good for an easy and fun read.

When I initially read the description of the narrative, I was immediately intrigued by the concept and couldn't wait to get started. I love a witty, clever story especially with a female lead. But I just did not love this as much as I had hoped.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a terrible book by any means. But I was totally unable to empathise/sympathise with Kitty and it made me less connected to the book because of it. I found it difficult to relate to her and her justifications for doing what she does. I believe it would have been simpler if she had been merely abhorrent, allowing me to despise her. But she wasn't, yet she wasn't that likable either!
She does have a good relationship with her friends, which is a significant portion of this book, so there is that!

A laughed and squirmed reading this book. I found myself laughing when I should not have necessarily done so.

It was a surprise from start to finish and a pleasure to read.

I'd honestly like Kitty to be my new bestie.

Loved it and cannot recommend highly enough, 5 stars from me.

As a true crime junkie I was excited about the prospect of a female “Dexter” taking matters into her own hands- but man did this fall flat. The main character was so hypocritical in their thinking. I also didn’t understand why the author made this such a huge platform to promote being a vegan. Overall, I think this could have been a great book but definitely needed more polishing.

Kitty Collins is a force of nature, whirling in to seek revenge for injustices against women by vile predatory men. She has a dark and deadly sense of humour. As a one woman army against injustice, she reels in men, using her social media popularity and good looks and then takes vengeance. Kitty is fun and fierce, though she has a few flaws - apart from her pathological need to murder- she has double standards. She cannot stand wealthy, entitled and vacuous friends whilst being a wealthy socialite herself and turns a blind eye to the fact her boyfriend's company was knowingly funded by a predator, because she loves her boyfriend and the company needed the cash for its good causes. I really enjoyed the book with the exception of the quite explicit sex scenes, which for me didnt add to the story. Whilst dealing with serious issues, this book felt like a light read as it deflected seriousness with dark humour and quick wit. An enjoyable read overall #howtokillmenandgetawaywithit #katybrent #netgalley

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as far fetched as the story is, it really amused me. I loved all the privilege and entitlement of this Chelsea set and would absolutely love to see thus brought to life as a Netflix movie! Brilliant escapism.

This book was not for me.
I loved the idea of it and avenging women’s rights but I found myself just wanting it to be over and was unable to finish.
Thank you for the opportunity.

⁣⁣
⁣First off, this is a thriller not a self help book. I just want to establish that fact right from the beginning. 🤣🤣🤣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Kitty is a famous social media star, meat packing heiress, and a female Dexter. When she is attacked by a man who follows her home from a bar, she accidentally kills him. From then on, she is addicted to killing men who are abusing women. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣This book requires a lot of suspension of belief; Kitty is like a dark Finlay Donovan. In the real world, this chick would have been caught quickly by even the lamest police investigation. But it’s fun! And wildly entertaining! ⁣

⁣I listened to How to Kill Men and Get Away With It and really enjoyed it. This was a unique read that kept me entertained. ⁣

⁣I recommend this to people with a dark sense of humor! Four stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I quite enjoyed this book. It kept me turning the pages it was quirky, funny and dark all at the same time. Not being into social media I did find that 'followers figures' and other references to social media were a bit lost on me.

LITERALLY, JUST PICK THIS UP AND READ IT. The title basically gives away the entire book. I was a little disappointed because it lacked the action I was craving. It instead was more psychological and the FL trying to combat her feelings.

I was not able to leave a review by release date - Sorry!!
I really enjoyed this book and I would thoroughly recommend it

This dark thriller was quite fun to read! Following the twists and turns and I couldn’t put it fully together until the end. The supporting characters weren’t quite different enough for me. Overall it was a fun read

The cover is incredible, like the best one I've seen all year.

But this book was not what I thought it was going to be, I felt as though the author used this to promote her own feelings and lifestyle choices. I don't agree with that. I was annoyed with how many times her being a vegan was mentioned. But i did like the irony of the inheritance and what it came from, but she was ok with murder of people. Shitty people or not. A soul is a soul and a life is a life.

Would have been great if the author maybe left out their own feelings.

The title and synopsis is what hooked me. But the dark humor and quick wit kept me reading. Kitty was quite likeable, for a killer and all. This was a fast read, but probably because I liked it so much.
I look forward to more books by this author.
