Dexter for a girls’ girl. The MC also has some social skills. So, I loved the friendship and the justice in this one!

Cordelia seemingly has a normal life. Except she kills bad men in her free time. However, she might be about to get caught as the news starts talking about a serial killer.

I thought the premise was interesting, but Cordelia was just an ok protagonist for me. I get the vibe the author was going for, but it just didn't resonate with me. I think Cordelia was just too chaotic despite supposedly being very controlled and meticulous from her description.

I loved the concept of this book, but I feel Iike overall there was too much going on and it was too long.
This book had so many story threads, I felt like some threads were abandoned midway through and then were quickly wrapped up when the author realized they were still out there.
I also had very mixed feelings about the characters. Most of the time, I couldn’t stand the main character Cordelia, but there were definitely some times I was cheering her on. And the supporting characters dropped in and out of the story so much that I didn’t really get attached to anyone except Mango who was great.
Overall, this book was fine, I felt like this was too long and repetitive, but the ending got a little exciting and the female rage was definitely raging.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

I wasnt able to read and review this one before the publish date but now that I have I gave it 3.5 stars.

Would recommend for fans of…
🔪 Dexter
🔪 Promising Young Woman
🔪 Finlay Donovan

Mysteries and thrillers – the darker the better – will always be my favorite genre. Nothing beats curling up with one after a long day only to realize you’ve spent all night reading because you had to figure out how it ends. And that was my exact experience with This Girl’s A Killer.

To be clear, I absolutely loved this book! It’s the perfect thriller.

Early on, Cordelia Black tells the reader exactly who she is, which you’d think would remove a little bit of mystery from the story, but instead turns up the tension to 1000. No spoilers, but Emma C. Wells does an amazing job with the pacing, and is able to create even more twists when I didn’t think it was possible to do so. And as twisty and dark as the story gets, it’s never gratuitous, and I’d feel comfortable recommending this to my friends whose mystery preference is on the cozier side.

It’s really frustrating writing this review, because I just want to scream about how amazing this book is, but also don’t want to spoil anything as this is absolutely a book you want to read with as little background as possible. That being said, I will say that I loved the emphasis Wells put on friendship and found family, and how those values are so core to who Cordelia is. I’m not sure if there are more Cordelia books in the future, but based on the ending I hope there are, as Cordelia is a character I’d spend an infinite number of hours reading about.

This Girl’s A Killer is out now. Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Whether you think she’s a serial killer or a justified vigilante, Cordelia Black sure is a lot of fun!

Emma C. Wells delivers a fast paced and humorous romp into the life of a pharmaceutical rep by day and loveable vigilante killer by night. Think Dexter Morgan but in heels. Cordelia is the type of friend you want in your corner.

This is a great debut novel that I could absolutely see being optioned for film. In fact, I really hope it does.

Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press & NetGalley for the ARC.

Spectacular. She can do no wrong. It reminded me of Promising Young Woman in the BEST way possible. I was rooting for her the whole time and I loved it. Probably well suited for fans of Dexter as well. I’m a sucker for a good serial killer read and this type of morally grey fmc is my favourite. She is witty and sassy and oh so devious. Please read if you’re a fan of any of the above.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read an early copy of this book. I greatly enjoyed reading This Girl's a Killer. I found the main character to be funny and the supporting characters very much relevant to the story. I will 100% be reading more from this author, and definitely wouldn't mind a follow up book to this story.

Want an amazing debut novel that you simply can’t put down? You’ve found it!

I was hooked right away.

This Girl’s a Killer by Emma C. Wells had me feeling all sorts of conflicted feelings. This novel was thrilling and kept me at the edge of my seat. This Girl’s a Killer is a story of a woman seeking revenge on predatory men. If you are looking for a different take on a thriller try out this book!

Thank you netgalley for the arc of this girls a killer in exchange for my honest review. Diane and Cordelia are best friends from college. They have a great friendship however. cordelia has a major secret. Cordelia eliminates men she considers predators and she has it down to a science.
She seems to always get away with murder. However, a man comes between them and Cordelia gets herself into a situation that she has trouble getting out of. Will their friendship survive? Will Cordelia get away with murder? Four stars

This is a sharp and witty thriller that I couldn't put down!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this review copy and the opportunity !

In this debut novel, author Emma C. Wells combines horror, humor friendship. She is a sort of female Dexter in the fact she only kills "monsters" who prey on women and children. Adding the "devil dog" Mango gave a bit of poignancy to the plot.
If you are squeamish, this isn't a book for you. If you like a heroine who can see many men for who they really are, Cordelia will get to you from the beginning.

What a wonderful debut novel! Extremely suspenseful and funny. Recommended for fans of Dexter since Cordelia is basically his female version.

This was such a vibe. I love the feminine rage vibe she had going for her and protecting her chosen family at all costs. This really gave me S.T. Abby gives with the mindfuck series and I had such a good time with this. Highly recommend this to thriller lovers who love feminine rage!

This Girl’s a Killer is a mystery/thriller story about a vigilante female serial killer, Cordelia Black, who works in pharma sales by day and takes out bad men by night. Something happens that doesn’t go to Cordelia’s usual plan and things start to unravel from there.

There were some elements to the story I liked. The book starts off very strong as you’re first introduced to Cordelia, who comes off as this morally gray force to be reckoned with. I liked the friendship she has with Diane (even though it leans a little toxic), as well as the relationship she has with Diane’s daughter. However, despite the book starting off strong, the pacing did slow down quite a bit for the rest of the book and I felt like there wasn’t enough suspense or tension. I would also say that this book leans a little bit more on the “horror” genre side of things given some of the graphic and disturbing descriptions of some of the men that Cordelia does away with.

I think I’m in the minority on this, but while I liked some elements of the book, I don’t think this one was for me. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

A fun gender-bent verion of Dexter with an aire or supernatural influence.
Cordelia Black is successful, likable, and funny. The relationship with her bestie Diane (and god-daughter) is believable and relatable. You'll be rooting for this serial killer and lol-ing along the way as everything that can go wrong... goes wrong.

Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the eARC!

Giving female Dexter vibes except she works for big pharma instead of the police. Started out great, got a little bit slow, picked up, and ended pretty quickly but setting up for a potential sequel. Enjoyed it all around.

I really enjoyed this book! Apparently this is a new genre I love - serial killer ladies with a heart of gold! I loved Cordelia so much and thought this was a fantastic read.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
