Due to personal reasons i have not read this, but will purchase and read someday! I am still very excited to read this!

Based on all the reviews for this book, I wanted to love it. Unfortunately, I found the story to have a lackluster plot and characters that feel short.
Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for my ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

This book was such a wild ride! It’s fast-paced, sharp, and packed with action, but also has a great sense of humor and heart. The main character is fierce, witty, and totally unforgettable—I was rooting for her the whole way. The mix of thriller and dark comedy kept me hooked, and the twists had me flipping pages like crazy. If you love badass female leads and a story that’s as fun as it is intense, this one’s a must-read!

AMAZING debut! Couldn’t get enough. Totally devoured! This is a re read in the future for sure! I hope the author continues with our story here! So good

This was such a fun read! Filled with dark humour and unexpected twists, this was an enjoyable fierce thriller

I just can't spend an entire book with Cordelia She's annoying me to no end. I don't care about her apparent obsession with designer brands. I'm tired of her telling us how important her best friend is, how awesome she is, how Cordelia will do anything to keep her safe from herself. Ugh.

Also, pacing drags. Content is repetitive. This just isn't a book for me.

Well this was fun!

I absolutely love a female serial killer, seeking revenge on asshole men? Sign me up! Female Dexter is absolutely right!

I found it a little repetitive and kind of got sick of seeing the names “Cordelia and Joanie” 😂😂

I expected a little more from McSmiley - was kind of disappointed.

I found it hard to understand the point of the dog & job drama as it all seemed a little irrelevant.

Intrigued if there will be a sequel!

Started out very strong and I was loving it. But somewhere in the middle, it lost its spark. I did finish it but it was a struggle which was disappointing with how well it started.

This Girl’s a Killer by Emma C. Wells is a thrilling, fast-paced mystery that packs a punch. The novel’s suspenseful plot and gripping twists keep readers on edge, while Wells skillfully develops her protagonist’s complex, layered character. The writing is sharp, and the pacing is perfect for anyone who loves a story that keeps you guessing. With its dark humor and unexpected turns, this book is a page-turner that will satisfy mystery lovers looking for something fresh and exciting.

I absolutely loved this book and will be looking forward to other books by this author. It felt like a fresh take for the Thriller/Suspense genre. I thought it was well paced and the characters were well realized. You could just feel the smarm coming off the boyfriend, loved the best friend and her daughter, and 100 percent wanted our heroine to get away with murder. An amazing read I would happily recommend to anyone.

This Girl’s a Killer is an entertaining mix of mystery and chick lit, with a snarky, sharp-witted heroine at its center. Emma C. Wells delivers a fun, fast-paced story that balances intrigue with humor and a touch of sass. The mystery kept me engaged, though some plot points felt a bit predictable. The writing is lively, and the protagonist’s voice is strong, but I wished for a bit more depth in both character development and the mystery itself. Overall, it’s an enjoyable, light read for those who like their whodunits with a side of attitude and charm!

Seriously--this Dexter rip-off went from bad to worse. I don't see how this person got away with one murder nevermind all of the ones she brags about with the way she makes so many stupid mistakes and everything about her is so frantically suspicious. But I gave it 2 stars because for some reason I read. the whole thing.

This Girl’s a Killer is a deliciously dark and wildly entertaining thriller that balances wit and suspense with a sharp edge. Cordelia Black, the story’s protagonist, is both likable and terrifying as she navigates life as a seemingly perfect pharmaceutical rep by day and a vigilante avenger by night. Her self-proclaimed role as "karma" to bad men is chilling yet oddly compelling, and the story thrives on her unapologetic and meticulous approach to justice. The tension ramps up when Cordelia’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel, particularly as her best friend starts dating someone she deems a threat. With a fast-paced plot, and a fierce, unforgettable lead, This Girl’s a Killer is a must-read for fans of thrillers! It’s a rollercoaster of a ride that leaves you eagerly turning pages, even as you wonder if you should be rooting for or against the charismatic Cordelia.

This was a quick, incredibly fun read that made me think of what would result from a combination of Dexter and Finlay Donavon. Through everything you root for the protagonist and the characters in her life (including/especially the dog). This is clearly set up for more books in the series and I am looking forward to them! While obviously a bit far fetched, somehow the story really worked.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This Girl's a Killer is a thrilling, suspenseful read with a fierce, unpredictable protagonist. Wells’ dark humor and sharp writing keep you hooked from beginning to end.

This one was unique - I did enjoy the plot. A story about serial killers. Meet Cordelia - who is a successful pharmaceutical rep - who happens to no ordinary serial killer. She takes care of the bad men (rapists, abusers, etc). She meets her best friend Diane's new man - and just has a bad feeling about him. Am I okay with what Cordelia's doing? I think so - she's protecting the innocent. So you might find yourself rooting for a serial killer. I would say this story was entertaining and you did want to find out what happened. Overall a solid story that many will find fun.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I've read a handful of these sort of 'feminine rage/revenge" type of stories now and this one is exactly what I wanted out of that trope. Our MC is basically a female Dexter-type character but Wells does such a great job developing her character that comparing her to Dexter feels a little lacking. I absolutely loved the tension built in this read when the plot starts really picking up. Our MC has a very distinctive voice that I absolutely loved and gave so much personality to what could be just another revenge serial killer read. I also loved the relationships with the other characters and seeing the dichotomy of her internal monologue with her external presentation was fantastic.

This Girl’s a Killer is a fast-paced, entertaining read with a sharp, witty protagonist. The action keeps things moving, and there are some great moments of humor and suspense. While I wished for a bit more depth in character development, it was still an enjoyable ride overall!

Cordelia Black fiercely guards those she loves with a sharp knife, a testament to her unwavering loyalty. When a killing gone wrong threatens to unravel Cordelia's carefully constructed life, she embarks on a journey to discover the true essence of who she was meant to be. This Girl's a Killer strives to challenge the conventional portrayal of vigilante killers, painting Cordelia as cold and calculated in her pursuit of justice against her targets. While readers are encouraged to feel compassion for her plight and align with her cause, given that her victims are indeed bad men, the execution ultimately leaves her feeling flat and unlikable. It’s often perplexing to see how someone so skilled can make such misguided choices. This slow-burning narrative, populated with superficial characters, may struggle to resonate deeply with readers, leaving them yearning for more emotional connection.

A woman serial killer who only targets "bad" men, sign me up. This book is perfect for anyone who loved watching Dexter.

Cordelia is such a morally gray FMC who has a code when it comes to killing. Ultimately, she wants to protect those closest to her and get rid of bad guys. With funny moments mixed in, like dealing with the annoying neighbor dog, this book will keep you entertained.

I really enjoyed it and hope it will become a show or a movie in the future.
