Wow! Cannot believe this was a debut. This one is absolutely going to be a hit.
I'm obsessed with Cordelia Black and I was hooked immediately. It's a perfect female revenge story.
This woman could not have an ounce of good luck to save her life and the anxiety I felt had me stuck to
my Kindle just dying to see what happens next (pun not intended).
If you're into strong female leads and have an unhealthy love for Dexter, this is a must read.
This is up there with one of my favorite books this year so far and I cannot wait to recommend it to everyone.
Looking forward to more from this author. Thank you, Poisoned Pen Press for the widget!

I was obsessed with reading this book. I truly couldn't get enough of it. I highly recommend this one

This book is sooooooooo good and the cover was fantasic.

I think many women would relate to this in some way and feel seen and understood. Cordelias character highlights the monsters so many of us see or experience in the world and exageratingly deals with them. I found myself relating to her in so many ways and feeling validation and gratification in her ugliest moments and her most vunrable. I think she is a force to be recon with. I think where she is strong and indipendance and firece she is also sensitive and hurt and nervous. She exhibits so many emotions during this book and fights for the ones she loves.

I really enjoyed this book! There are few books with female characters like this that are likable and relatable dispite the circumstances they’re in or situations they face.

We need more female driven thrillers and horror novels! LOVEEEDDDDD ITTTTTTT!!!!

I absolutely TORE through this "Feminist Dexter" - as I have dubbed it - vigilante tale. Cordelia starts off in total control, once her plans become unraveled, the scramble to cover her tracks begins. Poisoned Pen Press is ROCKING the thriller genre lately!

Cordelia "Not Renee" Black is a successful woman with a great career, a ride or die best friend, and an incredible goddaughter. Oh yeah, and she's also a serial killer who gets rid of bad men. Cordelia is able to balance these different parts of her life so well because she always has a plan, and as long as she follows her plan then everything is fine. However, with things at work starting to crumble, her best friend introducing a new boyfriend that raises concern, and her neighbor's dog Mango always being a nuisance, things start to unravel and Cordelia finds herself in a big mess.

What a ride! This debut thriller by Emma C. Wells had me in a chokehold. Do I find myself rooting for serial killers in life? No, of course not. Did I find myself rooting for Cordelia Black? Absolutely! She was giving me Dexter vibes. She was giving me Joe Goldberg from You vibes. She was giving me all of these but as a badass woman. She is a character who truly cherishes her relationships and would do anything for her chosen family in order to keep them safe. When things were looking bad and seemed to be getting worse, it was so entertaining and exciting to see how things would turn out. There were times I truly didn't know how Cordelia would dig herself out from the mess she found herself in. For me, things were tied up in a nice bow and left me wanting some answers, but at the end of the day, I had an absolute blast reading this one! For a debut, I'm super excited to see what Emma C. Wells has in store for us in the future! A sequel to this would be pretty amazing! 4.5 rounded up to 5.

Thank you @poisonedpenpress and @netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!

This book was so good for me that once I picked it up and began reading I did not stop. Cordella Blak is a heck of a character on the pages. She is a killer, godmother, and a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company. She has a plan and a system for everything she does. Things slowly at first seem to unravel when the company has a recall on a drug that she has been selling. Then her best friend begins dating again, but she does not like the guy and her friend continues to try and set her up with a nice guy accepting that he is a cop and she is a killer. She only kills bad men who have committed crimes that police cannot make stick but everyone knows that they have done. Things are slowly beginning to hotwire but she is keeping it together when she makes an unexpected killing this throws everything into a tizzy but just for a little while. Nothing like getting her hair done will take care of. This book will keep you going and you will not only be wondering about the guy in the tub but also about the dog and the neighbor. Just a fantastic book.

Stunning book.
Ready for anything she writes again...loved it!
I thought I'd be able to predict the plot and outcome but this one was too difficult- I was fooled and enjoyed being wrong.
