This book had me holding my breath. Will Cordelia get caught for ridding the world of horrible men? Fast paced, didn’t want to put it down! There were a couple twists in the book that kept it interesting. The characters were great. I was rooting for the killer. Loved it! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced reader’s copy.

You know how you just connect with a book every once in a while?

Well, I feel a real connection with "This Girl's a Killer"
Not that I'm a poison pill wielding sociopath, but neither is our FMC, Cordelia Black. Well, not all the time at least.

Yes, she has murdered men, and yes she keeps "trophies", but they all deserve it. She's like a female Dexter, but with more empathy and wit, not to mention a killer wardrobe.

Cordelia Black, a pharm rep by day, has a habit of "un-aliving" Louisana's rotten men. She's organized and plans these kills to T. But, when her method of killing becomes the focal point of local news, Cordelia's organized little life turns upside down.

I don't want to give too much away, but unraveling this is part of the fun. Cordelia is my favorite anti-hero of 2024. This hits the stands TODAY! So if you love morally grey, well dress women with occasional serial killer vibes, go check this out immediately.

Thank you to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press and the author for the opportunity to read and review prior to publication.

I loved the idea of this and even though there were many instances I felt it was a bit unbelievable, I still really enjoyed it.

This Girl’s A Killer was a book I could not put down! Cordelia may seem like your normal girly girl, loyal friend, etc but she has many secrets. Those secrets blurred the line between hero & villain- giving true female Dexter vibes! I was cheering her on the entire book. It left me guessing and truly surprised!

If you like bada** FMC’s, this one’s for you!!

Emma- you blew me away with your debut novel! I cannot wait to read more from you!

When the word serial killer is tossed around by the media and your side gif is to unalive bad men, the pressure is on!

Let’s just add newly getting to know one of the local police officers to the mix and the temperature dial is ticking hot!🥵

Cordelia Black’s day job is that of a successful pharmaceutical rep. By night, she rids the south of Louisiana of those she deems deserving.

A killer with a moral code and some Dexter vibes going, this was a good read with some dark humor. The friendship and found family of Diane and Cordelia’s relationship and how she cares deeply for Sugar was sweet. The devil poodle obsessed with Kraft cheese singles will drive you mad!🐩 You’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting to see if this is the one that gets Cordelia caught??

It did take me a bit to get settled in but I’m glad I stuck it out.

Thank you to the author, Emma C Wells and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read to this book. I received an epub for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Happy Pub Day !! 🔪😬🩸
This one’s gonna be a GREAT book club pick…so much to unpack here! &&& if you’re a lover of morally gray, this is for you 🥵🩶

Cordelia is a serial killer…but, she only kills BAD MEN 🤷🏼‍♀️ Everything is perfect. She has BFF & her goddaughter. It’s all good, just how she likes it…that’s until her bestie brings home Simon, her new BF. Cordelia isn’t sure he’s all that good…& things suddenly start to unravel…

Emma C. Wells had me hooked from the very first chapter. I LOVE #morallygray & while Cordielia could very well be #morallyblack you’re still rooting for her. I found some of her antics to be #lol funny, not sure they were supposed to be, but it worked for me. No big twists but the suspense had me til the very end! & as a debut @emma.c.wells.books did an incredible job! Enjoy my friends 🫶🏼

This was such a great book. It grabs the reader’s attention immediately. The main character is named Cordelia, and she is such a quirky character! She is living a double life, one in which she has a best friend named Diane and a goddaughter named Samantha, and she will do absolutely anything for them and the other is a life in which she “eliminates” bad men who have done unthinkable things in their past and who still pose a threat.

I immediately liked her character and kept rooting for her. She eventually finds herself in a very bad predicament and as the reader you can’t help but feel the anxiety that she is feeling. Overall, it was a great book with a very good and entertaining storyline. Thank you Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press. All opinions are my own.

Cordelia Black joins the likes of Lana Myers and Dexter in disposing of humanities worst monsters. Cordelia’s a pharmaceutical rep by day and serial killer by night. Leaving her previous life behind, Cordelia only needs her high end designer clothes, her best friend Diane and Diane’s 12 year old daughter, Samantha. Life is going well as long as she lives by a code and doesn’t stray from it. That is until the unexpected happens and her life is turned completely upside down. Cordelia could lose everything including her freedom and best friend if she doesn’t figure out a solution.

I enjoyed this debut from this author and thought it was a thrilling and fast paced read. There were similarities between Cordelia and Lana but the vibe of this story was more of a dark comedy with a good dose of gore and mystery. There were a few plot holes that didn’t add up and loose ends that I wish were tied up but overall it was a strong debut for this author.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a masterpiece. I love a sassy serial killer. It’s hard to believe that this is Emma C Wells debut book. It hooked me from the start and I couldn’t put it down.

Love that Cordelia is a strong and loyal to those she loves (Best friend Diana and goddaughter). Pharmaceutical rep with a killer wardrobe by day and serial killer by night.

Thank you to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

I lost count of the number of times I said.....you go, girl......it's that kind of book. By day, she stands out as a woman who has it all......looks, friends....a great job.....By night, she hands out the justice that has slipped through the cracks. While, the plot line may be recycled, Emma C Wells' treatment is not only fresh, it's fantastic. Don't miss this one, read it and recommend to everyone you know, I am.

Well flushed out characters with a still unbelievable plot line. Not the best. Not the worst. I gave it 3 stars.

I really love the premise of this, but I wanted to be reading a book where I was following a likable serial killer and I really didn't find the MC very likable at all. That kind of ruined the rest of the book since I didn't really care about her as a person sadly. I definitely want to try another book by this author in the future, but this one wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Here is my feedback for this girls a killer! I gave it 3.5 stars however I still need to post my video link which will be in my Goodreads review! Thank you for allowing me to read this early!

4⭐️ for This Girls a Killer by Emma C Wells

Cordelia Black is a high maintenance, designer wearing, type A pharmaceutical sales rep by day and a vigilante killer by night.

I found this book super entertaining and finished it in a day or two. Cordelia Black would do anything to protect her family and those unable to protect themselves from the horrible abusers of the world. I loved the rage and protectiveness of her character, but was constantly internally screaming at her bad decision making! She wasn’t the most like-able character, but that’s probably intentional to keep her murderous ways in perspective. Although the subject matter was dark, the author brought a comical aspect to the story to lighten it. I find that I love some dark humor in these types of books/mysteries.

This book is out tomorrow! October 29, 2024

Thank you #netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read this e-arc. #thisgirlsakiller

Thank you to Netgalley, Emma C. Wells, and Poisoned Pen Press for the eBook. This thriller is absolutely amazing! I savored every moment of the story. The writing is exceptional, the character development is superb, and the plot is full of surprising twists. If you're a fan of Dexter, this book is a must-read!

Fabulous debut book, I hope there are more!
Written from the POV of a female serial killer, a concept I really like. By day, Cordelia Black is just your average pharmacy sales rep., who loves hanging out with her best friend and goddaughter. By night, she is dealing out revenge for the worst men in Louisiana. I'm not usually on the side of the killer, butttttttt. It was definitely written to feel like an episode of Dexter, but with a female lead. This book was funny in a dark humor sort of way. The writing was fast-paced and kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed it.

"...I mused over the fact that if the past month had taught me anything, it was that mostly foolproof was the best you could hope for. In life. In love. In body disposal."

Cordelia Black is a pharmaceutical sales rep, the best best friend to Diane and aunt to Samantha, and a vigilante killer of bad men.

I struggled to get into this, enjoyed the middle and then felt the ending took a bit too long. An ok read, but not my favorite.

Cordelia is a driven pharmaceutical rep who always has a plan and works that plan carefully whether it is getting herself out of a bad homelife, putting herself through college, rewarding herself with nice things or ridding the world of men who have hurt women and gone unpunished. Her best friend, Diane, and her goddaughter, Sugar, are her family and world and she would do anything to protect them. Her world starts to unravel when her #1 drug is suddenly pulled from the market for causing strokes causing her biggest clients to avoid her and Diane also introduces her to her new boyfriend who is giving off creepy vibes especially towards Sugar, She'll have to replan, cover her tracks and get lucky to preserve her carefully orchestrated lifestyle and protect those she loves. This one will have you laughing and rooting for the crafty and shrewd Cordelia despite her habits because we all root for the underdog, the protector, and the heroine .

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

What a ride!

I'm not usually on the side of the killer, but this book was so well done. It was definitely written to feel like an episode of Dexter, but with a female lead. Parts felt rushed and chaotic (I guess that comes with the territory of being a serial killer) but it felt like they were trying to be too cinematic.

Overall though, I loved where it took me as a reader, and actually really loved the ending! It was an intense subject, but written in a way that felt much more light-hearted so it was a quick easy read.

**Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for sending this book for review. All opinions are my own.**

Thank you so much to the publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to read this novel early. Sadly, this book wasn’t for me. I’m not saying it’s bad, just not my type of writing style. I would still be interested in reading this author in the future.
