This book had me HOOKED from the very beginning. Although you probably shouldn't judge a book by its cover I definitely did with this one and it definitely paid off! Kitty was such a fun character to read from, is she a serial killer technically yes but did her victims deserve what they got, yes so there is no sympathy here. This was so fast-paced and I enjoyed every second of it and finished it in just one short day!

Kitty is an Instagram influencer, confident, independent and rich. Yet she can be bored and unappreciative of her fame. Until an encounter with a stalker reveals that she has a hidden talent.

Full of humour and fun, this is a novel that doesn’t take itself too seriously and openly acknowledges its influences. The plot may have a few holes but the story is vastly entertaining and well worth a read.

Interesting and well written I just personally couldn’t get into the story. Just a little slow and unbelievable at some points. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Kitty Collins--gosh, how to describe her. A combination of Killing Eve and maybe Joe Goldberg or Dexter. She's sick of the way women are treated by men and decides to take things into her own hands. But of course, things take a turn for the complicated when she meets Charlie, a man who might actually be worth her time. This was a really fun read, and I'll look forward to Katy Brent's next!

When I first came across this book on netgalley the premise sounded right up my street. Stabby, serial killer, light hearted (kind of) goodness, and I wasn’t disappointed. I read this book in quick time, it was fast paced and I loved the characters.

I had been in a bit of a slump recently and this pulled me right back out of it. If you’re looking for a fun book with a slight nod to how the world is today, paired with a lot of crazy then this is the one for you!

This was SUCH a brilliant read, and Kitty Collins is kickass - think Killing Eve meets Dexter. Sick of men treating women like objects to degrade, ghost and attack at will, she starts to take matters into her own hands.

Kitty has obviously been hurt by men and we gradually get a deeper insight into her past and her motivations.

Things are complicated when she meets Charlie, a man who just might be the one to restore her faith. But now, she has so much to lose.

Totally gripping, absorbing and heart-racing, I want to read this again and again. Kitty was written with such acerbic wit, and says what many of us have felt or thought but not been brave enough to say. But she is complex and also kind which makes her such an interesting character.

Absolutely fabulous read!

How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is just everything I expected and more! I was having doubts about reading a book about influencers but this book is so much fun. It's easy glide through, hilarious, absurd, and just gory. There are a few plot points that I thought a bit unrealistic and Kitty frustrated the heck out of me but this was still a super enjoyable read for me!

A big thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this digital ARC. As soon as I saw this title, I knew this book would be right up my alley. I was not dissapointed! Kitty Collins is a social-media influencer, heiress to a large meat processing company, a vegan with a knife collection, and a serial killer. This was Dexter meets Pretty Little Liars meets Sex and the City. I loved every second.

Kitty discovered her bloodlust at a young age and has since been targetting anyone from cheating boyfiends to creepy bar dudes to predatory CEO's. In her mind (and mine lol) she's just making the world a better place. However, even the best plans go awry and every judgment call isn't ideal. Someone is on to her and texting her cryptic messages, trying to blackmail her and so on. This book tackles heavy issues like sexual assault, harrassment, and murder. However, the tone stays light and funny like a very dark Rom-Com. I feel like I don't typically care to read about white social media influencers, but Kitty was aware of her privelge and ultimately trying to take action, so, for those reasons I ended up loving her. A very distinct and believable voice throughout and I loved the writing style. Her love interest got on my nerves, otherwise this would have been 5 stars. Highly reccomend for all my people who ever wished someone would come off their abuser. Love, love, loved this.

Oh my God. I got the chills so many times toward the end of this book. It completely blew my mind. It managed to surpass my high expectations AND be nothing at all like I expected
Funny and scary in many ways

Kitty is a social media influencer, and after an accidental death of someone trying to assault her, she starts ridding the world of terrible men. The concept is something I was really keen on, and there are some funny moments as well as some triggers (SA, CSA, death, eating disorders etc.) that were just skimmed over.

Kitty is VERY unlikeable, and I was really hoping for character growth and I didn't get as much as I was expecting. She's extremely privileged and values others by their appearance/social media followers. There is no possible way that her killing so many people would actually happen in real life - she's stick thin and somehow managed to carry a dead person in bags through her apartment building with nobody questioning it?

This book had so much potential and I would probably read a 2nd book if it would give her that character growth, alongside more realism.

How to Kill Men and Get Away With It is an entertaining read about a killer influencer. Kitty is an influencer on social media, living her life day to day feeling uninspired and unenthused.

Her dark secret is that she is a murderer, and she's pretty good at it. She uses her family's business to dispose of the bodies, and then makes plenty of disturbing visual jokes about how the body is now minced meat in someone's sausage roll. The Dexter references were amusing, considering this was very much a female version of Dexter.

This was a funny book, however there were several things that I found irritating, hence bringing my rating to 3/5. I didn't like any of the characters, Kitty was unlikeable and actually quite annoying. Her hot and cold routine with Charlie was weird. Charlie also seemed to have a personality transplant halfway through, it was almost like he was two different men. You had to seriously suspend disbelief while reading this book, and honestly I think it pushed it a bit far. It was hard to picture, due to the absurdness of the situations Kitty put herself in.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read a copy of this book.

Rating: 3

Hmmm…this one was okay and I think I mostly didn’t vibe with it because of the expectations I put on it. When I first saw the cover and title I assumed it would be like Finlay Donovan but sadly it wasn’t. I absolutely loved Finlay Donovan even if it was over the top at times. I started reading the ebook and struggled with understanding the tone so I quickly switched to the audiobook. In my opinion, the writing style could have been interpreted in several ways so the audiobook was my only hope. While the narrator did a good job capturing the characters and emotion, the story still wasn’t working for me. I know the main character is meant to be unlikable but it became too much to the point where I was losing interest in anything she did. I also feel like certain topics and issues were becoming a little too pushy to the reader. I read to escape and don’t constantly want to be reminded about certain political issues.

Profanity doesn’t typically bother me unless it feels forced which is how this felt. A lot of that had me rolling my eyes while other parts had me cringing. I don’t think this book was bad, I just think it wasn’t for me. I do think others will enjoy it so I will recommend it. But I will say, if you're looking for something with more humor but is similar to this one then I would recommend Finlay Donovan more.

Thank you so much to @harperaudio for the gifted copy on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Let me give you the scoop, the way you kill men and get away with it is: Be rich, bored, have plenty of locations to dispose of your corpses, and have an unlimited amount of plot armor.

How to Kill Men and Get Away with It is more socialite darling decides to become a vigilante because she wants to avenge her fellow women but also because she has an itch only murder can scratch. I kept expecting the murders to be elaborate, clever, etc., but they are not. Kitty barely tries to cover her tracks, and easily gets away with everything. I was SO sure she was going to get caught several times, specially since she doesn't even think of the many ways she can be tracked and doesn't try to hide her actions very well, but the police/detectives in this novel are portrayed as truly the bottom of the barrel when it comes to smarts. It took the wings out of the story, because there was no real tension. Also the characters weren't that creative or interesting, including the various love interests.

I wish the author had tried a little harder on developing the murder side of things, and less on the vegan/influencer lifestyle. That can be fun, but the novel really needed a stronger backbone to be engrossing. I guess I just wanted more than what I got.

Katy Brent has positioned her "heroine," Kitty Collins, as a sort of female Dexter: killing men who "deserve" it. It starts with an accidental killing of a guy who certainly seems to be trying to sexually attack Kitty as she walks home from a nightclub. But then Kitty develops a taste for killing - it brings a little more meaning into her very empty, soulless life. She's an Instagram influencer, with millions of followers. She doesn't have to work, because she's the scion of a meat-packing dynasty. Her dad has been missing, presumed for a time, and her mother ran off to France, so there are few family obligations. kitty does very little, besides calculating what she makes off of her fake product promotions on Insta and making sure she has the latest in everything, while meeting friends and getting drunk rather a lot.

As the book progresses, we lean more about Kitty's past. If I didn't like her before, what is revealed doesn't improve my opinion. Kitty is basically a sociopath. Her responses to not getting her own way are completely out of proportion to reality.

It seems like a lot of people find her a relatable character. I'm not quite sure why. She's smart, sure, but she's pretty morally bankrupt. She doesn't kill just men who deserve it. And she f*cks up royally on more than one occasion. At least Dexter did his homework - sheesh.

Anyway, I've had my fill of books about young, pretty, rich influencers. This one wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't terrible. It was a fast, engaging read about a terrible person who doesn't realize how terrible she is. Rather than Dexter, she more closely resembles a female Patrick Bateman, and that definitely doesn't do it for me (on the plus side, she doesn't saw anyone in half with a chainsaw, she just feeds them into the mincers at her family's meatpacking plant. Ick.).

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.

Influencer Kitty Collins is beautiful and rich, and she can get away with murder, literally. Things get pretty wild, and graphic, quickly and it only increases as the story goes on, so please check trigger warnings.

Kitty ‘accidentally’ gets a taste for revenge, and then begins pulling off some brutal vigilante justice against awful, evil men.

Obviously this whole plot is over the top, with the comparison of a female Dexter being understandable as she puts her own twists on his methods (Ie I think she covers her kill surface in Vogue magazine pages instead of plastic like he does?).

The difference for me is that I didn’t find Kitty that likeable. I didn’t find any of the characters likeable, they were all superficial or surface level. Her relationship with Charlie didn’t have any depth and therefore I didn’t feel invested at all, or really buy into her changing for him.

I also struggled with her recklessness and lack of concern at being caught. It felt like we breezed past a lot of worry in that regard and it sometimes pulled me out of the story because HOW? There’s no way.

One of the themes of the book seemingly was violence against women, but some of the plot points (the ending for example) seem to undermine it. I wasn’t sure if this was satire, dark humour, or what to make of the book as a whole.

Overall, it did hold my attention until the end and had some twists I didn’t expect. It had funny and relatable moments, I just felt like the point of her revenge was trivialized by the end.

Famous Influencer Kitty Collins finds her calling in life murdering the true scum of the earth- men who take advantage of others and act like they're untouchable- in this thriller with all the perfect ingredients. There's the eye-catching title with the bold colour palette, and the interesting and fairly unique plot, but boy does this book's creativity end there.

First of all, for a book that claims to be about a woman killing men, there seems to be a lot of random sex scenes and flashbacks thrown in to fill large gaps between the actually interesting plot points. The relationship with charlie was also half formed and so surface level it hurts. There was no reason they should've been together other than the fact that they are both rich, attractive people with #daddyissues.

This book honestly felt like Finlay Donovan is killing it but not as good.
Also the fact that she's vegan was so annoying because it was mentioned like every other page and everyone thinks it's just hilarious that she's a vegan because of her father's line of work. it literally serves nothing to the plot except a direct conflict with the fact that she literally tortures and kills people.

Another thing that bothered me was the consistent grammar issues in the beginning of the book. it's like her editor skim read the first half and just said yep, looks good to me!
Ugh, very disappointing because this could have been such a good book but it was just executed so poorly

Very , very dark book told by Kitty. To outside appearances a Chelsea living socialite who is a social media influencer, there is more to her than meets the eye. Her story is told gradually .
The characters are not particularly likeable, but mobidly fascinating. Would/could this happen ,I am not so sure., especially with modern detection techniques . The plot seems far fetched, but also keeps a hold on you so that you need to know how things turn out.

This book was really, just not for me. I started it, thinking it was going to be fun and a bit edgy and twisty, and it started out that way, but then it got really dark really fast. It was just too graphic and too much for me. I’m sure it will have a following, but I was disappointed in how graphic it was. Thanks for the publisher and net galley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. 2.5 stars

Thank you for the Netgalley ARC.

Kitty Collins. Inherited money IT girl, Instagram influencer and killer of men. Though not all men only those that have wronged. The first one was an accident but after getting away with it the addiction began and a serial killer was born.

Darkly funny and a little bit gory (Kitty has a novel way of body disposal) I really enjoyed this. Sometimes I stopped and thought it was a bit far fetched and surely there must have been clues but then thought what the hell and got swept back away with Kitty.

Really great read.
