3.5 out of 5. Thank you Netgalley and Avon Books for the advanced readers copy last summer; I’m just now getting to it! If you want a Brit-lit of dark humor and satire with female rage look no further! Honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t seen this one AT ALL on here.

If you liked My Sister, the Serial Killer (one of my favorites!) then you’d enjoy this one. They are totally book twins. Though goodness Millie - the situations she puts herself in! - and things get more complicated when she starts seeing a guy who happens to be a detective!

As an oldest sister I sympathized with Millie’s protective nature and with that the frankly unwarranted guilt we tend to carry when something happens to our younger siblings that we weren’t able to protect them from (even if it wasn’t our fault or responsibility). Her rapid shift from simply wanting to help keep other girls safe to instantly thinking of how to murder men when she encounters sketchy guys is wild and she fully acknowledges this. There are some points you’re left 😱🤯🙈 and wonder how does she live with herself, especially when some of the murders are closer to home and get more extreme. That’s when you get sucked because you wonder how far will Millie continue to go and if she will eventually get caught? And boy is it a wild ride ‘til the end!

Content includes references to rape (they occur off-page) and other sexual assaults, stalking and harassment, various murders, profanity, and an attempted suicide. It is a crazy and entertaining read and listening to it on audio it felt even crazier.

I am all for a vigilante tale. Unfortunately, this one wasn't it for me. It was a lot. and by a lot I mean the details were to heavy. The characters were not likable. The story was hard to follow. I think it is a really great idea for a book and I am here for all the women take over and take back their lives but this just wasn't my favorite.

"How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways" is a unique and fast-paced mystery/thriller. Based on the title and description, I was so excited to read this book, but it wasn't quite what I had expected. It started off amazing, and I was loving the revenge plot. But after a while, it became almost too unbelievable, and it was hard to root for the main character. There were a few laugh-out-loud moments, and I love dark humor, but this was almost too dark at times. I feel like I want to read it again in the future because maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind? Overall, though, a pretty entertaining and memorable debut

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I dragged my feet on this one for a while because I thought it would be another version of How to Kill Men and Get Away with It. It was in a way but also not. After Millie's sister is assaulted, Millie spends her nights running a help line and saving girls and women who feel unsafe while out alone or at a bar or on a date. There is always someone to help because there is always a man taking advantage of a woman. But when one rescue goes dramatically wrong…or maybe dramatically right, Millie decides that maybe the world is better off without some of these men, especially the one who hurt her sister. This was actually really good, even though I think it was fairly unrealistic. (I suspect the police would have been able to trace a lot of the phone activity and/or recover things deleted from phones and so on.) I also didn't love that Millie ended up dating a police detective, which seemed too obvious (didn't that happen to Finlay Donovan too?), and what happened with James in the end was disappointing. Also the thing with the neighbor seemed just thrown in for the fun of it and didn't add much to the story. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.

The premise sounded good but unfortunately I just didn't connect to it like I was expecting to. It didn't really come off as humorous as I was looking for.

Ever go on a date that wasn't quite right? Want to extract a bit of....revenge? Wish there was someone you can call to uh, "take care of it"? Then this is the book for you. So fun & funny, it was delicious!!

I’m conflicted about this book. I’m on a female rage kick and was excited to read about this vigilante that saves women from terrible men and is trying to avenge her sister. However, the murders were sloppy, poorly thought out, and very unrealistic. I’m one to suspend my disbelief for a fun read, but there’s no way she wouldn’t have gotten caught right away with how impulsive her actions are. Further, the main character is so deeply unlikeable, I wasn’t rooting for her.
The book is fast paced and entertaining. Some parts are actually very funny. But the ending really lost me.
This gets 3 stars because it really kept my attention and I was able to finish in 1 reading. I enjoyed the book even though it angered me soooo much. Haha.
Thank you to NetGalley, Avon, and the author for the opportunity to read this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review a copy of this novel. I would like to say that I would thoroughly recommend this novel.

2.5- something about this really did not work for me. I love a female rage read and a female vigilante, but the characterization of Millie did not work for me as a successful version of these themes. The way she slid from an accidental death all the way to a murder and went on a killing spree did not make sense to me. I also think that an unlikeable female narrator can work under different circumstances, but this did not work for me either. Finding out that she killed her father also did not help to explain about her being a murderer all along. I think it had successful bones, but ultimately poor execution.

Thank you to Harper 360 and NetGalley for an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review

This was definitely a light, fun read! The main character was definitely not likeable, which is fine for me, but having the entire story in her POV made certain points drag. The whole side plot with the neighbor seemed random. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

This was a fun tongue and cheek thriller that I could not put down. I loved the dark humor and the characters in this book, this book had me laughing out loud a few times and I really grew to love the main characters. This was my first from this author and hope it’s not my last. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

Fantastic read! Fed up with men taking advantage of women , Millie has formed her one woman justice brigade. After her sister has been assaulted she is on a mission to hunt down the attacker. With some bumbled attempts at righting wrongs the ball is off and rolling. With some laughable moments and dark times this s book is quite the read. Thank you to NetGalley for this free advanced copy . I’m leaving this review voluntarily

I'm so torn about this book. On one hand, I love a female vigilante killer who is just trying to right some wrongs that horrible men do to women, but does that make it okay? This ethical dilemma left me feeling a bit middle of the road with this book. It is QUITE dark, which I honestly wasn't expecting. All the murder definitely surprised me, which is for sure on me. I mean, look at the book title. That being said, I kind of grew to like Millie, the main female character? She had such dark humor that I really enjoyed. She obviously became more unhinged as the book progressed, however, she had enough self awareness to understand that she was getting out of hand. It left me with a moral dilemma. The pacing at the end of the book had me very interested and couldn't wait to see how it all tied together. Overall, I do think that this is a book that I'll remember well because it was unique and certainly kept me interested. I give it a solid 3.5/5 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

This one was hilarious, and it definitely didn’t feel like a debut! It’s about a woman who starts taking out bad men who hurt women, and she ends up spiraling and wanting to kill men for annoying her 😅 It went downhill so fast, and there were a couple twists I didn’t see coming! It was so darkly funny and sarcastic, and I loved the ending. Also, everyone needs a friend like Nina (I’m obsessed) 🫡

TW: rape, sexual assault, suicide attempt

Many thanks to NetGalley and Avon for the opportunity to read before pub day! ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. HOW TO KILL A GUY IN TEN WAYS is out now!

This book was amazing. I love that our main character is a female revenge serial killer. Not completely in love with the ending but still recommend the book.

How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways is a deliciously dark and twisted thriller that follows Millie Masters, who sets up a hotline for women feeling unsafe walking home alone. When her sister is assaulted, Millie takes justice into her own hands, evolving from a concerned sister to a calculating avenger. The book masterfully blends horror with dark humor, offering a fresh perspective on the serial killer trope. Though the dark humor sometimes overshadows the serious themes, the sharp writing, engaging pacing, and complex characters make "How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways" a compelling read for fans of satirical, dark thrillers.

I received an advanced copy of How To Kill A Guy in Ten Ways by Eve Kellman. I found it to be a dark yet hilarious and socially relevant book about vigilante justice, which was led by Millie Masters. Millie helps run Message M, and she is committed to protect women from predatory men. It did take a turn towards the end that I was not quite expecting, and loved the added suspense of the stories intertwining.

How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways by Eve Kellman is such a catchy title and the book did not disappoint. Thriller delivered with dark humour and even some sort of twisted romance thrown in. This book has you rooting for a serial killer. It was an exciting read. Thank you, Netgalley and Harper 360 for giving me the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

"How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways" is a darkly humorous novel where Millie Masters starts a hotline, Message M, to protect women from predatory men, escalating to drastic measures like murder. While it blends comedy and social commentary well, the story slows in the middle with too much detail and many characters, slightly dulling its impact. Millie's complex character and descent into obsession offer a gripping exploration of moral ambiguity, appealing to readers who enjoy unconventional tales with strong female protagonists.

Two words to summarize this book - feminine rage. While we don’t all go around murking people, with vigilante justice in mind, this book is a masterful conversation on women. It’s no secret how much bad befalls women - taken advantage of, in so many ways - it seems to be a shared hallmark of the female existence. “How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways” explores what happens when enough is enough.

Millie Masters is an icon. Nina just as much of an icon. When two women, plagued by their experiences with men, put their minds together, what can be accomplished. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t go in depth, but even beyond the collective feminine rage, this book is a beautiful conversation on the depth of female friendships.

This book…this book was incredible. This was Kellman’s debut novel, and I have such a hard time believing that. It was brilliant. It has the voice, the confidence, of a much more seasoned author. The characters, even the most offhand, are woven together in a beautiful tapestry. While there is some quite-dark subject matter, this book is quite funny. From Millie’s point of view, she has thoughts (some of which get verbalize) that we all think and want desperately to say. Intricate, dazzling, I just don’t have the words to appropriately praise this book!
