Summary
Meet Kitty Collins。
FRIEND。 LOVER。 KILLER。
Have you ever walked home at night， keys in hand， ready to throw a punch in self-defence？ That’s how it all started。 The killing spree， I mean。
I sort of tripped into this role… Literally。 The first one was following me。 That guy from the nightclub who wouldn’t leave me alone。 I pushed him， he stumbled， and fell onto his own broken wine bottle。 Oops。 It was such a waste of a good house white。
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。

Katy Brent’s debut How To Kill Men and Get Away With It is exactly what the title says！ It is dark， twisted and hilarious。 If I have to sum it up in the simplest possible manner， I would say， this is Dexter at work， minus any minutest reference to logical processing。Kitty Collins， a social influencer and fashionista， she is living the “good life。” She lives in Chelsea， in a penthouse apartment。 She and her friends Hen， Tor， and Maisie are all from influential families。 Their lives centre around Katy Brent’s debut How To Kill Men and Get Away With It is exactly what the title says！ It is dark， twisted and hilarious。 If I have to sum it up in the simplest possible manner， I would say， this is Dexter at work， minus any minutest reference to logical processing。Kitty Collins， a social influencer and fashionista， she is living the “good life。” She lives in Chelsea， in a penthouse apartment。 She and her friends Hen， Tor， and Maisie are all from influential families。 Their lives centre around parties， brand launches， booze， boyfriends， pub hopping， sex， and， of course， the number of followers on Instagram。 They rarely worry about the outcome of their actions and see themselves as being better than the world around them。Kitty’s family business is meat processing。 Yes， they own a pig slaughterhouse， and surprisingly， she is vegan！ Kitty’s dad has been missing since her childhood， and her mother lives in France。 After a failed relationship， Kitty strongly distrusts men and is wary of getting into a relationship。On a regular evening， Kitty is on her way home from the nightclub when a stalker tries to assault her。 While trying to defend herself， she accidentally kills him， and gets addicted to the thrill of it！ But her addiction is not mindless。 It fills her life with purpose。 She is the female version of Dexter， a brutal vigilante fighting injustice。 Armed with her stun gun， she embarks on her own method of imparting social justice。It is impossible to say anything more without giving away the story。 So， I won’t say anything more！Kitty Collins is not a very likable character。 A typical snob， she is self-centered， always judges people on the basis of their followers， and carries a fake smile to impress people。 And to top it all， she is a murderer。 But once I started spending time in her head， I actually ended up liking her and enjoyed her thrilling escapades。Brent has done a marvellous job of bringing various characters together。 Their backstories are tied together neatly， and Kitty finds a happy ending to her story。 The story behind Kitty's dad's disappearance is mind-blowing！The author has dealt with many serious topics， and the way she handles them is praise-worthy。 Even though the overall tone is humorous， she doesn't underplay the issues。 I enjoyed How To Kill Men and Get Away With It。 It is wickedly humorous and is best enjoyed when you leave logic， critical thinking， and due processes aside。I received a free copy of this book from HQ Digital through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review。 。。。more

Guys。。。I really don't know how I feel about this book。 Literally no thoughts。 In the beginning， I wasn't loving it。 It was hard for me to like Kitty throughout the entire story， even though there were moments when I could empathize with her。 I just found her quite shallow， she was very much giving off privileged， white woman vibes。 I did kind of like the dark comedic aspects， and I found myself getting into it a bit more as the story progressed， but then it got a little bit dark/heavy minus the Guys。。。I really don't know how I feel about this book。 Literally no thoughts。 In the beginning， I wasn't loving it。 It was hard for me to like Kitty throughout the entire story， even though there were moments when I could empathize with her。 I just found her quite shallow， she was very much giving off privileged， white woman vibes。 I did kind of like the dark comedic aspects， and I found myself getting into it a bit more as the story progressed， but then it got a little bit dark/heavy minus the comedy so I was like oh this is serious now！ I think the book just lacked a sense of direction， in the sense that it was a dark comedy， but also sort of thriller-y， while also being feminist fiction because it largely centred around violence against women。 And obviously， there is nothing wrong with a book drawing from more than one genre （most books do fall under more than one genre）， but I guess for me， it was the execution of combining all those aspects that was done quite poorly。 So as 3 stars is my default meh rating， I just settled on that。 。。。more

How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is a hard book to review without giving away the plot。 Meet Kitty Collins， a social media influencer and pretty successful at it。 Everything is going for her， except that she is also a sociopathic serial killer getting rid of evil men。 The premise of this story is fantastic and the comparison to Dexter is inevitable。 The story reads like a female Dexter with lots of dark humor and a sprinkling of romance too。 The story is dark and twisted， there is a lot of d How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is a hard book to review without giving away the plot。 Meet Kitty Collins， a social media influencer and pretty successful at it。 Everything is going for her， except that she is also a sociopathic serial killer getting rid of evil men。 The premise of this story is fantastic and the comparison to Dexter is inevitable。 The story reads like a female Dexter with lots of dark humor and a sprinkling of romance too。 The story is dark and twisted， there is a lot of death and murder but overall it is surprisingly breezy and fun。 The story never gets too dark and the twists keep on coming。 The writing style and tone in general keep the readers interested till the end。 As a warning， the book is fairly graphic at times and tackles a lot of serious issues like misogyny， abuse， violence against women， etc。， but these issues are used to rationalize Kitty’s actions and even the readers will find it hard to disagree with her。 Kitty was quite likable， despite her actions and the fact that she messes up quite a lot。 Her backstory and the rationale for her actions are established quite well。 The cast of characters was really well written and each ‘act’ is also nicely written。 Overall， How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is refreshingly different from standard murder mysteries and thrillers。 It’s a nice mix of thriller， dark comedy， and romance。 It has its up and downs with the climax too stretched and unrealistic。 But if you love thrillers with a bit of dark humor then you would definitely love reading this book。 It’s absolutely entertaining and an exciting read。 Many thanks to HQ Digital and NetGalley for the ARC。 。。。more

Thank you， Netgalley， for the ARC！I support women’s rights and sometimes， mostly their wrongs。 It was the title and the cover that made me request this ARC and， boy， am I glad that I got it。 I loved the quick pace and badass girlboss energy presented in the book。 Admittedly， the book did slow down a little， but I enjoyed it nevertheless。 I enjoyed seeing Kitty’s character at work， going through her mind as she would yeet each disgusting man and the thrill she would get out of it。 Her dry and sha Thank you， Netgalley， for the ARC！I support women’s rights and sometimes， mostly their wrongs。 It was the title and the cover that made me request this ARC and， boy， am I glad that I got it。 I loved the quick pace and badass girlboss energy presented in the book。 Admittedly， the book did slow down a little， but I enjoyed it nevertheless。 I enjoyed seeing Kitty’s character at work， going through her mind as she would yeet each disgusting man and the thrill she would get out of it。 Her dry and sharp humour made the book so much more entertaining。 I haven’t seen this movie， but I think it would be similar to Promising Young Woman。 。。。more

When you're beautiful and rich you can get away with murder， well you can if you're Kitty Collins， Abbatoir Princess and Instagram Influencer， vegan， with a penchant for killing bad men。It gets quite dark in places and if you're squeamish there are a few parts you might need to skip over。 The humour is on point though！ The characters are a varied mix some playing into stereotypes， some with added substance。 The plot has a few twists to keep you entertained and the ending leaves it open for a seq When you're beautiful and rich you can get away with murder， well you can if you're Kitty Collins， Abbatoir Princess and Instagram Influencer， vegan， with a penchant for killing bad men。It gets quite dark in places and if you're squeamish there are a few parts you might need to skip over。 The humour is on point though！ The characters are a varied mix some playing into stereotypes， some with added substance。 The plot has a few twists to keep you entertained and the ending leaves it open for a sequel。 It's a quick read and gave me a Scream Queens meets Made In Chelsea vibeThank you to Netgalley and HQ for the ARC 。。。more

I had fun and liked this sort of vigilante serial killer mixed with a loving friend type of character。 I liked and disleked her at the same as some scene are a bit too gorey。The dark humour and the twisty plot kept me reading。It's not easy to review it and I'm on the fence Recommended。Many thanks to the publisher for this arc， all opinions are mine I had fun and liked this sort of vigilante serial killer mixed with a loving friend type of character。 I liked and disleked her at the same as some scene are a bit too gorey。The dark humour and the twisty plot kept me reading。It's not easy to review it and I'm on the fence Recommended。Many thanks to the publisher for this arc， all opinions are mine 。。。more

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 The title of this book drew me in straight away and I couldn't wait to see where it took me。 And for the most part， I did enjoy it。 The comedy was great throughout， and I loved the descriptive writing of what was happening during these murders。 To begin with， I felt the book held some realism but as it slowly progressed， and things went more and more wrong， I have to say that the way the story developed， it took me out Thank you to Netgalley and HQ for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 The title of this book drew me in straight away and I couldn't wait to see where it took me。 And for the most part， I did enjoy it。 The comedy was great throughout， and I loved the descriptive writing of what was happening during these murders。 To begin with， I felt the book held some realism but as it slowly progressed， and things went more and more wrong， I have to say that the way the story developed， it took me out of the fictional headspace I was in and made me feel that it was too unbelievable - and that was all I could focus on。 However， if you want something to pass the time， and need a quick read， this one would be a great option。 。。。more

Just based on the title I hoped this book would hit the mark and it definitely does！ Kitty Collins is tired of the way men behave towards women and so she decides to do something about it。 I loved Kitty's character even though she was a bit hypocritical about her social circle and her standing but she still provides some humour and relatability throughout。 It definitely has some Dexter vibes as she only kills bad men and has her own set of rules to follow but it makes for a brilliant read which Just based on the title I hoped this book would hit the mark and it definitely does！ Kitty Collins is tired of the way men behave towards women and so she decides to do something about it。 I loved Kitty's character even though she was a bit hypocritical about her social circle and her standing but she still provides some humour and relatability throughout。 It definitely has some Dexter vibes as she only kills bad men and has her own set of rules to follow but it makes for a brilliant read which I loved。Overall this is a fun and quick read which I couldn't put down！*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy which I voluntarily reviewed* 。。。more

WOW！ This book started off with a bang and didn't let up the whole way。 I loved everything about it。 The characters， the humour and the accidental and not so accident killings。 It is honestly one of the best books I've read all year， which is high praise， as I've read 260 so far。 Kitty is one of my favourite main characters in any thriller I've ever read。 She is right up there with Lana from Mindf*ck by S。T。 Abby and Jane from Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone。I really hope that we're going to se WOW！ This book started off with a bang and didn't let up the whole way。 I loved everything about it。 The characters， the humour and the accidental and not so accident killings。 It is honestly one of the best books I've read all year， which is high praise， as I've read 260 so far。 Kitty is one of my favourite main characters in any thriller I've ever read。 She is right up there with Lana from Mindf*ck by S。T。 Abby and Jane from Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone。I really hope that we're going to see more of Kitty Collins。 Either way， I'll be eagerly awaiting Katy's next book。5 Stars from me。 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 。。。more

3。5 rounded up due to the crazy factor - rich influencer Kitty is a very unreliable narrator， but some of it I did figure out early。 Still， enjoyed this a little bit more than I probably should have 😎🤷🏻♀️
