I would say that if you threw “Sex and the City”, “Dexter”, and “Promising Young Woman” into a blender and hit the on button, you would more or less get “How to Kill Men and Get Away With It”. However, she wasn't a bad person in a large chunk of the book and therefore I just could not not like her.

This is a great mix of humour albeit the dark kind, there are weird disturbing vibes from the online stalker to say nothing of the threat from some people Kitty and her friends encounter on their nights out. Kitty’s Code” lays out a clear set of Dexter-esque rules where only the most deserving of uggos are the ones to get whacked. Yes, I get that the author was probably trying to empathize Kitty's priorities there, but I still found it dumb. Plus, for an old codger like me, an insight into fashion, drugs and lifestyle that both enlightens and depresses. Kitty/Katy Brent paints men as really quite awful creatures (I am one and it was sometimes squirmy).Kitty Collins has grown up around murder, thanks to her family owing the biggest abattoir in the country and, although a Vegan herself, Kitty is more than capable of getting a little blood under her fingernails if the need arises. I was hoping for a horror movie vibe with a woman killing rapists and abusers and I was not disappointed. However, despite the adorable initial banter and flirting, I was not completely sold on the romance since a lot is told and not shown. I do think Kitty should have faced some consequences for her actions rather than ending the book in a better position than when she started but on the whole, I did enjoy it and it did make me laugh (is it wrong to say that?

How To Kill Men and Get Away With It is an excellent debut novel, full of dark humour and perfect for fans of Sweet Pea and Killing Eve. Like, she's vegan because she doesn't want animals to be killed (every time milk or other animal products are consumed within her vicinity she gets grossed out) but killing men is fine somehow…? Kitty could've been a great character, but the inconsistencies in her behaviour and logic made her hella annoying. She hates being an influencer, cribs about it, and yet goes on to enjoy the perks of the lifestyle that her profession offers.Another point of contention was the author's cringeworthy pandering and using this book as an opportunity to promote veganism. There is also a mystery at hand, as Kitty, being a well loved and well known influencer, has a stalker that is lurking about. HOW TO KILL MEN AND GET AWAY WITH IT is an aggressively decent read, but it's heavy on the gore and I don't really think the cover prepares you for that. I'm not spoiling anything I don't think by saying this, because it happens pretty early and it ends up happening pretty often.
