Second book but can be read as a standalone. As enjoyable as the first. Introduced new characters and more murderous intent.
A wedding, a missing boyfriend and a miscognyst taunter.
Angry women anonymous is brilliant.
Follow Kitty on her travels and killing spree
If you enjoyed 'How to Kill Men and Get Away With It', you will not be disappointed with this book.
Kitty Collins has gone 'cold turkey' and is no longer on a murder spree, or on social media. But with misogynists making their presence felt, how long will it be before she needs to return to her old life? Or will she be able to focus on her relationship and stay away?
A great little caper that takes you from London to the South of France - I thoroughly enjoyed it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
This is the first book I’ve read by Katy Brent and I was very impressed with the writing style, the wit and the story. It was evident it was a sequel so that was a little distracting, though it was all explained well enough and didn’t affect the plot too much. I did struggle a little to connect with the side characters who are quite vital to moving the plot forwards - Antoinette and Ben. Would I have felt more invested if I’d read book one? Will I feel more invested after reading the next in the series? I’ll get back to you after book three!
This was so fun! I really enjoyed the first one, and this one was really interesting and fun as well. Kitty Collins is trying her absolute BEST to stop being a murderess of terrible men, which includes her going to a women’s anger management club which I loved. This was set largely in France which was interesting but not a massive part of the story.
I thought that Blaze’s character was an interesting addition, he was so annoying and such a hateable character. He seemed so intense that it might’ve been unbelievable if I hadn’t seen men like this actually on the internet. I did NOT guess who he was, didn’t see that plot twist coming! And then the plot twist that came after this (I don’t want to spoil it!) but I didn’t see that coming either but I loved it! I thought it made the ending really interesting because it didn’t go exactly where I thought it was going to, but I thought it was a good ending even though it wasn’t necessarily happy.
In summary, I can’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil anything! But I thought the setting was nice, the stakes were high, and I loved the way that this story went. If you liked the first one then you’ll definitely like this one too.
I Bet You’d Look Good In A Coffin - Katy Brent
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“He should've been stopped earlier. But, let's face it, that's not the world we live in, is it? We live in a world where monsters are praised and applauded.”
I Bet You’d Look Good In A Coffin is the sequel to How To Kill Men And Get Away With It, and follows Kitty Collins again as she ventures to the South of France for her mother’s wedding. She’s moved on from her past and realised she doesn’t want to kill, after all she has everything she needs now. But some men just really really deserve it… and one more kill won’t hurt, will it?
I love Kitty’s character, and as a serial killer i know we shouldn’t root for her, but I wholeheartedly do! She is a fully pledged unhinged female main character, unapologetically feminist and has a dark, witty mind that’s full of gallows humour and bloodlust.
I love that the book pretty much picks up where the first book ended, and is told from Kitty’s perspective only. I liked the familiarity of the characters from How To Kill Men And Get Away With It, as well as the new faces introduced which added a new complexity and more importantly, a bigger victim pool!
I Bet You’d Look Good In A Coffin has a thrilling, quick pace and a few twists throughout that kept me on my toes and turning the pages to see what the hell Kitty was about to do next. The plot itself is delightfully dark, humorous and painted red with the blood of the misogynistic and evil.
I can’t wait to see where Kitty ends up next, as I know full well her story is not finished yet!
Thank you to NetGalley, Katy Brent and HQ for sending this advanced copy of I Bet You’d Look Good In A Coffin in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Kitty Collins, everyone's favourite vegan serial killer is back!
A year on from where we left her last, she's now living with her lovely boyfriend Charlie, has joined a support group for angry women and hasn't murdered anyone for over a year.
But men are still doing bad things and an incel influencer appears to have it in for Kitty. It's not long until she's back to her vigilante ways and feeling like her old self. We also see Kitty reconnect with her estranged Mum as she prepares to marry the younger, handsome Gabriel, the wedding will go without a hitch right?
I enjoyed the first book and thought this was a really good sequel. Plenty of dark humour to get us through the more gruesome bits.
This is book number two about Kitty Collins' adventutes and she's just as vengeful as ever, despite trying to go cold turkey. Blaze is out to get her and although I worked out pretty soon who he was there's still a couple of surprises and laughs along the way.
I thought the story was slightly better in the first one but by the end I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next one...
I loved Katy Brent’s first book, how to kill men and get away with it so I jumped at the chance to read this one. It did not dissapoint, I LOVED this book. It had plenty of plot twists to keep you gripped and guessing. Katy Brent knows how to write character that you can both love and hate. This is a must read! I really hope there’s a third book.
Such fun! I loved 'How to kill men and get away with it' and in this sequel we pick up where we left off, with our anti-heroine now settled into a relationship, trying to stay off the murders but itching to exact revenge on bad men.
This time the story line takes us off to the glamour of the south of France, for her mother's wedding. Kitty Collins is the perfect character, flawed, dangerous and yet glam and here to protect women,
I just love the premise of these books and feel that Katy Brent has left a delicious ending that could translate to another chapter of Kitty's story.
Brilliant, dark and different.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Thank you so much to HQ and Katy Brent for allowing me to read an arc of I bet you'd look good in a coffin.
Our favourite anti-hero Kitty Collins is back, but she's trying to live the loved up life with Charlie while practicing Murder-Sobreity.
She's given up being a Social Media Influencer and Serial Killer. But like many addictions she really is struggling to maintain sobriety. All while being taunted by an evil Incel Social Media Influencer Blaze Bunny. Can she unmask them? And end their Influencer career.
I love Kitty and following her antics taking out the horrid men in society. But my god, some of the situations she finds herself getting into gave me anxiety. But I did love how she manages to rebuild the broken relationships in her life.
I hope there will be a third book to see what she gets up to next.
Kitty Collins is back and guys, she’s sassier and gorier than ever! Like actually sickened my stomach at one point. As always though Katy manages to bring a whole lot of fun and humour alongside the mystery, insufferable characters and brutal killings.
In the second instalment of Kitty Collins we pick up with her as she attends anger management lessons to “cure” her killing needs (as you can probably already guess this isn’t helping), and the stories from the group angered me. One thing I love about Katy Brent’s writing ability and the character that she has created with Kitty is that I can completely agree with why Kitty does what she does 😂 which is absolutely awful I know! But at so many times in the book I said to myself… but he probably deserved it 🤷🏻♀️😂 Kitty’s new arch nemesis is Blaze Bundy and christ what an arse. He is misogynistic and a complete danger to women so obviously he’s Kitty’s next target BUT he seems to know a lot more about her than she does about him. This also applied to me because I was convinced I knew who Blaze was not once but twice and was still wrong! Claps for Katy because I did not see that coming 👏🏼 whilst being the dark hero that she is Kitty is also trying to juggle friendships, her mother impending wedding and making sure her boyfriend Charlie doesn’t find out she’s a serial killer.
Although dark in places I find Katy’s books the perfect read, they make me laugh out loud and you just never know what’s around the corner! There was one situation within the book I found a bit too unrealistic but it’s Kitty, and her life is not normal so I went with it. I really hope we see more of Kitty in the future!
An entertaining and easy read that I raced through in a couple of days. The reveal of who Blaze Bundy was did not come as a surprise but there were still some unexpected twists along the way! While the early part of the book was mostly focused around Kitty trying to suppress her murderous instincts and stay off Instagram, I felt that the stories of Angry Women Anonymous gave the book more variety and depth. There was a part about how our justice system fails women that has really stuck with me. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the advance copy.
Meet Kitty Collins: recently thirty,an ex-influencer, a recovering social media addict, an angry woman an serial killer trying to rehabilitate herself, but it's so hard to do when there's a colossal misogynist practically baiting her online.
Kitty shares some extremely relatable views and also insecurities which makes her a lovable main character, murder included in some cases, the book is the perfect mixture of comedy and thriller as she tries to unravel the identity of Blaze Bundy and balance her relationship with the man she loves. Throw into the mix an estranged mother's wedding and truly, there's more drama than you can imagine going on. What I really loved about this book was that despite the first being very central in it's location of Chelsea and London, Katy Brent effortlessly brought the world of Kitty to the South of France, she's truly killer.
The addition of new characters and the shift of focus from existing ones, did not disappoint, there was a new side of Kitty that started to come to the forefront as well as building new dynamics for her. I read this book in two sittings and found that I was forcing myself to go to sleep and stop reading, I was desperate to uncover the mysteries and figure out what was going on and when the reveals came out I was not disappointed, I was in fact enthralled. Katy Brent, was able to build a flawless backdrop for the stage that Kitty and the Wedding Party and it was intoxicating.
Being a sequel, I was a little dubious about how this would live up to How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, but it's safe to say that Katy Brent and Kitty Collins did not disappoint. This was the perfect follow up to Kitty's story and I can't wait to see where else it may go. Also, does anyone know where I can find an Angry Women's Anonymous near me?
Kitty Collins is back! I loved the first book, and was apprehensive going into this book. Would it be as good as the first? Would Katy be able to keep the story fun and fresh, or would it be too repetitive? But I needn’t have worried — this was another super fun read and everything I wanted from a sequel.
When we start the book, Kitty has turned over a new leaf and is being good, living in her London flat with her boyfriend Charlie and attending Angry Women Anonymous. But no matter how hard she tries there’s an itch that can’t be scratched — and bad men like Blaze Bundy ruining life for thousands of women without justice.
Like the first book, this one is packed full of top notch satire, dark humour, and gore. For most of the first book I found Kitty to be unlikeable, only warming to her towards the end of the book. But picking this up felt like being reunited with an old friend! I loved it, and will be recommending to all Kitty Collins fans when it’s released next year.
Kitty Collins is back ... But minus the murder. Honestly. She's been good since that unfortunate incident with the Pembertons. For a little bit, at least ...
This is a dark but strangely satisfying book, possibly even better than the first one. I am weirdly fond of Kitty, and I really loved how her non-romantic relationships were such a focus of this book. And I adore Carmela and Gabriel.
One to pick up if you've ever been angry at the men around you!
I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
Kitty is back, baby!! My favourite vegan serial killer taking one bad man down at a time is back with a vengeance and I LOVED it! Kitty is losing it a bit in this one and I found it so relatable (ok, murdery bits aside!) but the emotions and goes through rang true and the frustration she feels at the worries us women have to face on a daily basis are REAL! Katy has nailed it again, and will forever be an auto buy author for me! I thought I had figured things out early on, but Katy tricked me with her clever story telling and the twists were brilliant!!
I will be doing a full Instagram post and review soon so will update this review ASAP! But I love, love, LOVED it!
It's not even about what happened to me. It's what's happening to us always. All the fucking time. it's not fun to be a women. No matter how much we think the world has changed, it really hasn't."
Killer Squel by Katy Brent! - I felt like it followed really well from book 1 and set's up the next book nicely.
The book continues on from How to kill men and get away with it following Influencer Kitty and her killing streak which shes had a year off from after murdering one of her best friends. The book picks up a year later and shes getting the itch to kill again whilst having to juggle her relationship with her boyfriend and her mum. A interesting difference in this book is the introduction of Misogynistic Blaze. Her year free of being happy and content doesn't last long and the body count starts to climb again for those who don't know how to treat woman. A great sequel from Katy.
Many thanks to NetGalley, HQ and Katy Brent for the ARC of ‘I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin’ in return for an honest review.
I have read all of this author’s novels and have loved them so was delighted to receive this ARC and it did not disappoint. This is a sequel to ‘How to Kill Men and Get Away With it’ which introduced Kitty who has, since then, been trying to stop killing men. She has settled down with Charlie and attending an anger management group.
It all goes wrong and is hilarious. There are many twists and turns. Her hater, Blaze, who haunts and stalks her on social media follows her to France for her mother’s wedding to a guy Kitty has never met.
Highly recommended
Another outing for the wonderful Kitty Collins, and this book is certainly as good as the previous one. I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin is an outrageous, but very funny book, and I am looking forward to reading about Kitty's next adventures.
Kitty Collins is back. She is very loved up with boyfriend Charlie and trying her very best not to kill anymore men. But can she resist when she sees them destroying so many women? And now her mum is getting re-married. Has she gone for another bad man like her father who she had to kill? Does she really want to go to the wedding and face the mum she has avoided for years?
Honestly, this book is fantastic. I didn't think it could be as good as the first story 'How to kill men and get away with it' - this book really surpasses it and brings kitty into her own. I loved all of this book and some amazing new characters are introduced. There are some fantastic twists and some laugh out loud moments. It is even left open at the end for another sequel. I just hope Katy Brent is working in it now. I can't wait. One of those books that you just don't want to end. Highly recommended.
