Millies boss Freya is the worst, she's demanding unreasonable and narcissistic. When Millie receives an unexpected promotion making her Freyas travel companion she sees something suspicious and then she starts receiving messages from an unknown number telling her to dig deeper leading Millie to discover a secret about Freya she'd never expect.

Wow! This was a wild ride and I loved every minute. I was gripped from the beginning and flew through this in less than a day I couldn't put it down. I liked the way the characters back stories were slowly given to us throughout the story and that it was dual POV giving us both Millie and Freyas side of the story this was also written as if the characters were speaking to the reader personally which I really enjoyed. This was an entertaining thriller I definitely wouldn't call it realistic but it was definitely fun. Highly recommend.

I really loved the premise of this. The idea of suspecting your boss is a serial killer and trying to stay on her good side? Amazing! I also enjoyed the strong element of feminist revenge in the story. There was an excellent twist - one I genuinely didn’t see coming. Very funny.

Millie is noticing a pattern with her boss Freya. When Freya travels for work, men seem to disappear. But is her boss really a serial killer?

Not more thing. Too over the top and too plain writing style. But the idea is good, it’s the execution that felt lacking. It was quite a drag to read.

So fun and entertaining book. This story had me laughing. I really enjoyed this... If you have read Katy Brent book "How to kill men and get away with it", then you will definitely enjoy this one as well.

Vigilante Sh*t - that’s the theme of How to Slay at Work. Millie works for the real life Devil Wears Prada - Freya is demanding and ice cold. As Millie follows Freya, cosmetic executive, around Europe she’s tipped off that men are mysteriously dying in the same cities. Will Millie get too close for comfort or could Freya be an unlikely ally?
With twists and turns I didn’t see coming, this is an entertaining, funny quick read. Can slaying be justified?

How to Slay at Work by Sarah Bonner is an entertaining story about Millie who is given a promotion to become demanding boss Freya’s personal assistant, after her previous assistant Sam is supposedly fired. Millie is then able to deduce from access to her diary and travel expenses that Freya is a serial killer.
It just happens that Millie is in need of a serial killer to help in her own revenge plan.
It is a very entertaining storyline with over the top characters that appear in the story, from Freya , Lucas, Sam and Lissa, Millie’s flatmate and friend. I enjoyed reading this book.
Highly recommended

This book could be a movie, it’s all there, twists and turns and the nightmare boss!
The main character Millie works for Freya, who thankfully spends a lot of time out travelling, but is she a murderer too?
The storyline is suspenseful and cleverly written to reveal strong female characters, extremely funny moments and a great whodunnit reveal.
A fabulous highly recommended read.

I received an advance Digital Review Copy of this book from the publisher Boldwood Books via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

3.5 Stars. This book can best be described as a captivating blend of "The Devil Wears Prada" and a thrilling serial killer narrative. The storyline had me laughing out loud at some of the outrageous predicaments Freya found herself in, especially considering the creative and often absurd methods she used to get to her victims. The premise intrigued me, as it balanced humour with darker elements in an engaging way

This book is a real page turner, I couldn’t put it down. I truly ‘enjoyed’ it, however I found the ending a bit rushed and I would have loved to get answers to a few things.

Next up in the NetGalley BackLog is How to Slay at Work by Sarah Bonner

This book can best be described as a captivating blend of "The Devil Wears Prada" and a thrilling serial killer narrative.

The premise intrigued me, as it balanced humour with darker elements in an engaging way.

The first half of the book was particularly enjoyable, filled with witty moments and clever commentary that kept me entertained. Freya's character was both relatable and hilarious, which added to the overall charm of the narrative. However, I felt that the second half of the book took a turn that wasn’t as satisfying. It seemed rushed and somewhat far-fetched, which detracted from my overall enjoyment. By the end, I was left wanting more closure, as the resolution felt incomplete and lacking the depth that the first half had promised.

“My boss is a stone-cold bitch. But please don’t think I hate her, far from it, I admire her. She’s an icon”
It’s kind of Devil wear Prada but with jaw dropping twist and turns and laugh out loud funny moments
Keeps your attention with the office satire and suspense, raced through it as the chapters fast paced and short
Would recommend for anyone who likes dark humour

Catchy cover and headline I really wanted to get into this book more but I struggled to keep focused. Will definitely be buying this book maybe having it in paper format will help. Love the idea and concept of the plot of this story tho

This book started strong for me, but it lost me a bit as it went on. I think it would've worked better for me if it had been shorter/tighter. That said, the story as a whole was funny and twisty and absurd. I didn't really connect with the characters in this one, but I was entertained (for the most part).

A brilliant bloody tale about how climbing the corporate ladder really can be Murder.

How To Slay at Work is like if someone turned the Devil Wears Prada into an amateur detective thriller — giving us opulence and luxury but never letting us enjoy it because of the sheer mounting stress and anxiety.

As for Millie, she was a riot. Her voice was absolutely perfect — she was so easy to read, her voice flowed like a conversation even when she was spiralling. It was a little jarring we first changed from Millie’s to Freya’s perspective as they take turns in each “part” rather than regular changes - but I loved it when we got her point of view, seeing two sides of the same mystery as they slowly got closer and closer, watching them try to figure each other out and everybody being a potential suspect, a risk.

We jet across the world on business trips, two women sitting right next to each other but somehow chasing each other at the same time. Each trip gives us more clues — is she a killer? And what’s the motivation? Most importantly, what do we do when Millie figures it out and every deliciously dark twist gets set in motion. It was a wild ride - compulsive, obsessive and absolutely electric, with a smooth finish that was almost anticlimactic but actually flowed perfectly.

A devilishly decadent revenge fantasy full of murder, mystery and misdirection.

I really enjoyed this book , it was my first time reading from this author and have to say it won’t be the last time , I really enjoyed the authors writing style.

A serial killer boss…yes please. I was so invested in this and every time I thought I figured this out I was completely wrong. The ending was wild and I did not even come close to figuring it out. Absolutely recommend!!

I loved this book! It was snappy, snarky and full of intrigue! It definitely kept me guessing and kept me on my toes!

Thinking about my terrible boss I found myself in front of "how to slay at work", hoping it was also a guide in reality (jokes aside) it is a very nice comedy by Sarah Bonner. Millie travels for work, unfortunately she travels with her boss, and a series of strange coincidences, or should I say murders, make Millie think that her boss is not only a little bad on a human level, but also on an ethical level (is she perhaps a serial killer?). The story has several pov, and if this in some books is a pro, here I found it a little chaotic. The story could have flowed smoothly even with only Millie's pov. Also, yes the story is a little out of the ordinary, but in the end I also found it too absurde. Maybe too much. The fun is lost like that, in my opinion. This is the first book I read by this author, before cataloging her as "to avoid" I would like to give it another chance. Thanks to BoldwoodBooks and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this story in advance.

This book was okay. I didn’t particularly care for the ending but it was a complete surprise so I think it accomplished its purpose.

I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.
