This book is a masterpiece. I love a sassy serial killer. It’s hard to believe that this is Emma C Wells debut book. It hooked me from the start and I couldn’t put it down.

Love that Cordelia is a strong and loyal to those she loves (Best friend Diana and goddaughter). Pharmaceutical rep with a killer wardrobe by day and serial killer by night.

Thank you to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

I lost count of the number of times I said.....you go, girl......it's that kind of book. By day, she stands out as a woman who has it all......looks, friends....a great job.....By night, she hands out the justice that has slipped through the cracks. While, the plot line may be recycled, Emma C Wells' treatment is not only fresh, it's fantastic. Don't miss this one, read it and recommend to everyone you know, I am.

Well flushed out characters with a still unbelievable plot line. Not the best. Not the worst. I gave it 3 stars.

I really love the premise of this, but I wanted to be reading a book where I was following a likable serial killer and I really didn't find the MC very likable at all. That kind of ruined the rest of the book since I didn't really care about her as a person sadly. I definitely want to try another book by this author in the future, but this one wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Here is my feedback for this girls a killer! I gave it 3.5 stars however I still need to post my video link which will be in my Goodreads review! Thank you for allowing me to read this early!

4⭐️ for This Girls a Killer by Emma C Wells

Cordelia Black is a high maintenance, designer wearing, type A pharmaceutical sales rep by day and a vigilante killer by night.

I found this book super entertaining and finished it in a day or two. Cordelia Black would do anything to protect her family and those unable to protect themselves from the horrible abusers of the world. I loved the rage and protectiveness of her character, but was constantly internally screaming at her bad decision making! She wasn’t the most like-able character, but that’s probably intentional to keep her murderous ways in perspective. Although the subject matter was dark, the author brought a comical aspect to the story to lighten it. I find that I love some dark humor in these types of books/mysteries.

This book is out tomorrow! October 29, 2024

Thank you to Netgalley, Emma C. Wells, and Poisoned Pen Press for the eBook. This thriller is absolutely amazing! I savored every moment of the story. The writing is exceptional, the character development is superb, and the plot is full of surprising twists. If you're a fan of Dexter, this book is a must-read!

Fabulous debut book, I hope there are more!
Written from the POV of a female serial killer, a concept I really like. By day, Cordelia Black is just your average pharmacy sales rep., who loves hanging out with her best friend and goddaughter. By night, she is dealing out revenge for the worst men in Louisiana. I'm not usually on the side of the killer, butttttttt. It was definitely written to feel like an episode of Dexter, but with a female lead. This book was funny in a dark humor sort of way. The writing was fast-paced and kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed it.

"...I mused over the fact that if the past month had taught me anything, it was that mostly foolproof was the best you could hope for. In life. In love. In body disposal."

Cordelia Black is a pharmaceutical sales rep, the best best friend to Diane and aunt to Samantha, and a vigilante killer of bad men.

I struggled to get into this, enjoyed the middle and then felt the ending took a bit too long. An ok read, but not my favorite.

Cordelia is a driven pharmaceutical rep who always has a plan and works that plan carefully whether it is getting herself out of a bad homelife, putting herself through college, rewarding herself with nice things or ridding the world of men who have hurt women and gone unpunished. Her best friend, Diane, and her goddaughter, Sugar, are her family and world and she would do anything to protect them. Her world starts to unravel when her #1 drug is suddenly pulled from the market for causing strokes causing her biggest clients to avoid her and Diane also introduces her to her new boyfriend who is giving off creepy vibes especially towards Sugar, She'll have to replan, cover her tracks and get lucky to preserve her carefully orchestrated lifestyle and protect those she loves. This one will have you laughing and rooting for the crafty and shrewd Cordelia despite her habits because we all root for the underdog, the protector, and the heroine .

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

What a ride!

I'm not usually on the side of the killer, but this book was so well done. It was definitely written to feel like an episode of Dexter, but with a female lead. Parts felt rushed and chaotic (I guess that comes with the territory of being a serial killer) but it felt like they were trying to be too cinematic.

Overall though, I loved where it took me as a reader, and actually really loved the ending! It was an intense subject, but written in a way that felt much more light-hearted so it was a quick easy read.

**Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for sending this book for review. All opinions are my own.**

Thank you so much to the publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to read this novel early. Sadly, this book wasn’t for me. I’m not saying it’s bad, just not my type of writing style. I would still be interested in reading this author in the future.

Female serial killers always pull me in and I loved this take on a female Dexter. Cordelia was a wonderful MC full of depth. I enjoyed her sass, gumption and overall badassery. This has everything I love in a story - drama, tension, hijinx and even a romantic side plot. This does dark humor well and still pulls at the heartstrings. This was an excellent debut!

3.5 stars! ✨🩸☠️👠

This was a WILD ride - from start to finish. You have romance, friendship, suspense, and terror.

This book had a lot of body horror, mentions of SA, and sensitive topics that were not easy to digest - so please, read your trigger warnings before proceeding.

Thank you to Netgalley and Poisoned Press Press for an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

In “This Girl’s a Killer” we follow our FMC Cordelia Black. She is successful, stylish, and NEVER late. But she also has a BIG secret. She hunts men - bad men and kills them. Life is peachy for Cordelia as she is very type A. Organized to the high heavens, and running her life with a “fake it til’ you make it” attitude she never runs into trouble at work, is never caught in her endeavors, and is always there for her best friend and god-daughter. One day, everything takes a turn for the worst when word gets out that the medicine she was in charge of promoting - was being investigated for causing strokes and even death to clients/patients. On top of that - her best friend’s new boyfriend Simon is obnoxiously off-putting. She ends up on a blind date with a police officer, who is in fact looking into - her killings unbeknownst to him. Her perfectly curated life is unraveling at the seams - and she REFUSES to let her image, and her life slip away.

Wow - the plot was very fast paced and interesting. I love how when it started to rain, it STORMED. There was so much going on , and everything intertwined with Cordelia’s current situation.

I will say, I do not know how to feel about Cordelia as a main character. On one hand I appreciated her cause and how she wanted to bring bad men down, so they could never hurt anyone ever again. On the other hand, there were traits I did not care for in her. She was materialistic and cared about appearing a “certain way" to those who knew her. She was superficial, and quite frankly, a snob. Also, I understand her sense of wanting the best for her best friend, but I feel like she hated Simon out of the gate and was looking for an excuse to get rid of him right away. I was hoping his story would be less predictable, but, why does Cordelia feel so entitled to make decisions for those most important to her? Also, the way she used Mcsmiley - not cool. Not nice. I think she is a brat, I am so sorry. I can’t decide if I love or hate her.

True crime lovers would know that there would be traces of Cordelia’s shopping trips, her gps locations, her DNA on her victims, and more things that would come back to her. I don’t think she was as sly as she made herself to believe. At the end of the day, she will have to face her karma as well. Just because she has a good cause - does not make her a good person.

Mango deserves the best. What a sweetie. Hands down the best character in the book.

Overall, if you like a humorous, true crime-esque book I would give this a try ✨

I love a book where the FMC is a little unhinged. This is giving Dexter but with a strong female character.

Cordelia Black is just your average pharmacy sales rep. By day she is the top sales woman. Hanging out with her best friend and goddaughter. By night she is dealing out revenge for the worst men in Louisiana.

This book was so fun to read. It was fast paced and kept me engaged through out the whole book. We watch Cordelia not only try and protect herself but her friends family as they are the only family she has.

We do hear some stuff about Cordelia’s past but I wish we would have found out how she turned into the killer that she is. I feel like her past was briefly talked about and then swept under the rug.

Still I loved how the book ended. This is a great girly thriller if you’re wanting thriller with minimal gore.

Thank you Poison Pen Publishing for sending me a copy of This Girls a Killer for an honest review.

Nothing better than a feminist vigilante serial killer! This debut will have you hoping for a series run of this fun, bloody novel!
Cordelia Black is the best friend we all need. She has a way of seeing into the hearts of really bad guys and then ridding the Baton Rouge area of them. Her actual job, as a pharmaceutical rep, even helps with this "hobby". But almost as soon as her day job is threatened, Cordelia starts to lose her careful control. Can she reign it back in before she loses her bestie and her freedom?

*Special thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this e-arc.*

Cordelia Black is a pharmaceutical rep…and a serial killer. By day she sells sleeping pills, and at night she uses those sleeping pills to help her take down bad men and make them disappear. When an issue is found with the pills and Cordelia’s best friend introduces her to a new boyfriend, everything goes off the rails and her nighttime hobby is at threat of being exposed.

I really liked this one! It was like a female Dexter in Louisiana and felt a little bit Finlay Donovan at times (but no mob, thankfully). I do wish Cordelia shared more of her own back story - I was rooting for her, but only for taking down the awful men and not for any redemptive reasons.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the free digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This story follows Cordelia and the people she cares about the most, her best friend, Diane and her daughter, Sammy.
Cordelia is a serial Killer, she only kills bad men who deserve it.

I thought the first chapter was really interesting! Then it went very slow.
I was expecting more thriller than it was more just about the characters.
I wish we had more suspense!

Thank you to Netgalley for my ARC.

This was a fun & Fast paced & perfect for all Dexter fans! Cordelia is a pharmaceutical rep by day and someone else entirely by night… but just like Dexter she only kills bad men. What Happens when one of her murders doesn’t quite go as planned??

I was hooked on this book from start to finish. I know it's terrible to love a serial Killer, but Dang, I love Cordelia.

This is how you write a BadAss Female Character. I know she's a killer, and that's a bad thing, but Hot Dang, she gets it done. She is the type of friend we all deserve. She's the Best GodMother.

Honestly, everything about this book was fantastic. I love the cast of characters. The writing and story kept me reading and engaged, and there were some nice plot twists.

I can't wait to read more by Emma C. Wells.
