Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for access to an early release copy.

You gotta love it when the main character feels like the villain in her own story. That was Cordelia, zipping through her perfect life, willing to do anything to keep it that way.  Particularly delivering her own vigilante justice towards men.  If you’re looking for the answer for a female Dexter, this could be it. Maybe a little too on the nose for a copycat Dexter.

Sometimes what gets me with these “holier than thou” protagonist is really, they’re still picking and choosing retribution, as the main character is still not holding to the same standards. But maybe that’s the point? Not being able to get past our own selfishness? This is a very coded unreliable narrator story.

It was a good choice to make this fast paced, really kept the story moving. It started off pretty strong but got muddied in the middle with repetitive internal Cordelia thoughts. I would have liked some flashbacks, like why Cordelia became who she was, to break up the repetition. But it was alright; an easy read.
