Feminist serial killer books have become hugely popular in recent years and Eve Kellman has added another to the pile with How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways.
As with many others in this genre HTKAGITW centres around a deplorable yet somehow likeable female lead character who takes pleasure in killing not so wholesome men.
Does it work? Yes and no. It has plenty of those deeply dark yet hilarious gallows humour moments however it does run away with itself leading to a few eye rolls at the end.
I switched between kindle and audiobook and found the audiobook definitely increased my enjoyment. The narrators characterisation really brought the female lead to life.
Overall, an enjoyable pacey book which was let down slightly by its ending.
