⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Killing Eve - Luke Jennings

It is SO GOOD to be back in the world of Villanelle and Eve!

Packed with dark humour, ruthless actions - and a complex web of deceit- this 4th book from Jennings is a beauty.

For me personally, part 1 in particular was simply stunning - with Villanellle at her rawest form - and reminiscent of the TV show from years ago.

Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC - here’s hoping for a follow up from Luke in the not too distant future!

Short chapters, dark humour and different POV made for a quick read of this fast paced thriller.
Oxana is such a dark fascinating character, if you’re familiar with the tv series you will be familiar with the characters of Villanelle and Eve, this is book 4 in the series and expect action, suspense and violence.
Such a great concept I cannot wait for more.

Thank you @lovebookstours and @netgalley for a copy of the ebook

I have loved these books and the latest Killing Eve: Resurrection by Luke Jennings and this is the 4th book in the excellent Killing Eve series. It was a brilliant read from start to finish with brilliant twists and turns throughout. This latest book continues with Eve and Oxana who are both living in St Petersburg after faking their deaths. They are Now living under the radar, which is very hard for both of them. But, Oxana remains vigilant band she is also restless and she is now drifting back into her bad ways and her old life.
Now, Eve has gone missing, and it awakens Villanelle, she goes on the hunt to track down her prey.

Does she track down her prey before they track her down?

WoW this book was AMAZING and had me turning the pages over to find out what happens next.
I am So glad I read these books as well as what the series. . . . But the books are so much better!

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my ARC.

Killing Eve: Resurrection is a wickedly sharp, high-stakes thrill ride that yanks you right back into the deadly dance between Eve and Villanelle—and ohhh, it’s so good.

Plot? Straight fire. Eve’s gone missing, Villanelle’s out for blood, and the Twelve are poking around again like the toxic ex that just won’t quit. From Russia to Paris to London, it’s cat-and-mouse mayhem—with stilettos, stilettos.

Jennings’ writing is slick, stylish, and darkly funny—just like Villanelle herself. The pacing never lets up (seriously, hydrate before reading), and the character work? A+ chaos queens. Eve’s determination meets Villanelle’s barely-contained madness in a reunion that’s messy, emotional, and deliciously dangerous.

Short version? It’s lethal, clever, and absolutely unputdownable. If you missed these two—get ready, they’re back and badder than ever.

Thanks to Boldwood books and NetGalley for this review copy. #KillingEveResurrection #NetGalley #BoldwoodBooks

I really enjoy this series. Villanelle is the unlikely hero that never fails to make me laugh in the most unlikely of scenarios!
The first half of this story is action packed, the second half slows down a little in terms of pace, however I was already hooked in by this point and so the slower pace didn't impact on my enjoyment of the read.
Set a little while after events you will be familiar with if you've watched the show, we find Eve and Villanelle living a life in hiding, but its not long before we are back in the clutches of the Twelve and meet the new characters introduced through that. I really liked the new characters we met, and I think there is lots still to explore in this world.
A really enjoyable read that I'd definitely recommend.

As someone who loved and devoured the original Killing Eve books, I was simultaneously nervous and excited to pick this book up. Jennings has done an incredible job of writing a book which continues in the world and feels wholly organic and makes sense to exist. I loved the idea that Oxana / Villanelle was feeling restless after the life she lived, settled in a world of suburbia. I also just love how completely devoted she is to Eve. An absolutely fantastic and gripping continuation, highly recommend.

Luke Jennings returns with Killing Eve: Resurrection, a gripping and stylish continuation of the twisted love-and-death dance between Eve Polastri and Villanelle. This latest installment in the Killing Eve series—made iconic by the BBC drama—doesn’t just reignite the fire between its central duo, it fans it into an inferno.

When the story opens, Eve and Villanelle (aka Oxana Vorontsova) are hiding out in rural Russia, licking their wounds after years of chasing, shooting, and emotionally gutting each other. Their off-grid existence is quietly strained, charged with a tension that never really dissipates. But when Eve is suddenly taken—kidnapped by forces with old claims on her assassin lover—the mask comes off. Villanelle stops pretending to be tame. And what follows is pure, delicious chaos.

This is Jennings at his best: sleek prose, clipped dialogue, and a pace that rarely lets up. As Villanelle crisscrosses Europe, her trademark blend of glamour, menace, and wild unpredictability takes center stage. Jennings writes her with a kind of reverence—for her intelligence, her violence, her impossible charisma. She is both monster and myth, and here, she’s back in full, brutal form.

Eve’s role is slightly more subdued in this installment, but the emotional weight of her absence is felt in every move Villanelle makes. Their dynamic—equal parts obsession, attraction, and ruin—is what gives this series its bite, and Resurrection doesn’t disappoint in exploring how tangled love can become when blood and betrayal are part of the equation.

Fans of the TV show will appreciate the familiar globe-trotting, the sharp sartorial details, and the ever-present undercurrent of noir absurdity. However, Resurrection leans more literary than the screen version, offering a more internal, intimate view of its characters’ damaged psyches. It’s less about chase scenes and more about what it means to survive when your survival depends on violence.

If there’s a flaw, it’s that the plot occasionally veers into murky territory—some secondary players blur together, and the motivations of the shadowy organization known as The Twelve remain frustratingly opaque. But this isn’t a book about answers. It’s about chaos, control, and the electrifying danger of needing someone too much.

Thank you to Boldwood Books, the author and NetGalley for a digital ARC in return for an honest review

I have waited so long for this! Can't contain my excitement. Eve and Villanelle are back and I am so here for it!

This is one of those rare occasions where I've seen the spectacular TV show and then wanted to read the books. Luke Jennings is a gifted author who has, in my opinion, created one of the greatest, yet flawed, female protagonists ever - lets just gloss over the fact that Villanelle is a homicidal psycopath with only flashes of vulnerability. Villanelle is the kind of person you should certainly steer clear of in real life, but as a character in a book (or TV show) she is an absolute legend. The interaction between the 2 female leads is exciting, thrilling, tense and emotional. If you jump into this long running saga for the first time with this book, you will miss out on vital character progression...go back and read the others or watch the TV show. Resurrection is a darkly poetic, richly atmospheric read. Fans of the series will devour it. If this is the final chapter, it’s a bloody good one!

This latest edition continues the series with Eve and Oxana now living in St Petersburg after faking their deaths. Living under the radar Oxana remains vigilant but is also restless and drifts back into her old life. When Eve goes missing it awakens Villanelle, and she goes on the hunt to track down her prey.
This continues to explore their complex and dangerous relationship, their mutual obsession, and the vulnerability they both have in each other.
It delves deep into the dark and gritty crime underworld, and showcases Villanelles talents.
It's fast paced, tense, unpredictable, and perfectly shows off Villanelles unhinged personality, Eve's conflict of emotions, and their devotion to each other.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC copy of the book in exchange for a review.

I loved the original Killing Eve trilogy - discovered it through the TV series and very quickly found and read all 3 books. So was really excited when I saw a new book out.

In the end, the book was an easy read, and as a fan of Villanelle and Eve - I enjoyed it immensely, however, it fails to capture the original excitement of the original book. It starts very well and as you progress through the book, it starts to become a little hard to swallow some of the story (as in could that really happen?) - but it's still a good book. Thinking back, this is exactly how I felt when I read the 3rd book in the series.

Villanelle and Eve are back—yes, again—and this time they’re doing what any normal couple does: hiding out and being dangerously in love. Of course, Villanelle can't go five minutes without causing chaos, so she makes one teeny-tiny, world-shattering mistake... and just like that, the drama kicks off. Cue a high-speed, high-stakes game of "Catch Me If You Can," where Villanelle is furious, petty, and out for revenge. Basically, if you breathed near Eve the wrong way—run.

Another absolute banger of a book that sucks you in like Villanelle spotting someone wearing off-brand perfume. I especially loved the beautifully toxic dynamic between Villanelle and Balice. It’s a classic case of “will they, won’t they... kill each other,” sprinkled with emotional damage and sass.

Big thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC! All thoughts and opinions are mine.

As a fan of both the books and the TV series, it was really thrilling to read this new adventure between Villanelle and Eve. This book wraps drama, romance, espionage, and persecution in an entertaining and dark plot. Delving into the perspectives of both during the book, shows how interesting and unique they can be. It can draw you into this intoxicatingly dangerous with these intriguing characters and this magnificent premise. Few twists and turns as well as action-packed scenes which made it more enjoyable.


Thanks Netgalley for this ARC

I loved the other books and tv series so I was excited to delve back into their universe of danger and high stakes. For me this definitely keeps the obsession alive.

Just finished reading Killing Eve: Resurrection and yeah... I’m unwell in the best way. This book gave everything I needed, tension, chaos, obsession, all of it. I flew through it.

The vibe is dark and addictive. The characters are still a mess in the most entertaining way. I don’t even know how to explain it except that I was locked in and could not stop reading.

If you love drama, danger, and a little psychological warfare, this one’s for you.

I read this ARC in exchange for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

I love killing eve and have been meaning to read the books for ages
I feel very lucky to have been able to read this

I thoroughly enjoyed it



Highly recommend

Killing Eve: Resurrection is exactly like Villanelle, mad, dangerous, unbalanced but undeniably exciting!
💫💫💫💫💫

Villanelle and Eve are back, and this time, they're hiding and being in love. However, Villanelle being herself makes a minor mistake, and it costs her dearly. Thus begins a fast-paced, exciting cat and mouse game where Villanelle is pissed and annoyed, and everyone will pay for what they did with Eve.

Another magnificent book that draws you in and keeps you hooked. I really enjoyed Villanelle and Balice's relationship. The whole will they won't they kill each other and their painful antics.

Thank you, Netgalley and Boldwood Books, for this amazing ARC. All opinions are entirely my own.

An entertaining and welcoming return of Villanelle. A recommended purchase for collections where the previous titles were popular.

I’ve always fancied watching the Killing Eve tv show so when I seen this book, I was intrigued! I somehow ended up rooting for the protagonist even though she is clearly unhinged! Plenty of action, a few twists and a great pace! It did go between 1st and 3rd person at times which confused me! There was so much in this book and I can imagine it being a great tv series! I did enjoy this and would be keen to read more by this author!

It was so much fun to be back in the chaotic, sharp-edged world of Oxana and Eve. Killing Eve: Resurrection delivers the fast-paced tension and sharp writing I’ve come to expect from Luke Jennings, and it was a thrill to slip back into their twisted dynamic.

This installment leans heavily into Villanelle’s perspective, and while she remains as compelling and unpredictable as ever, I did find myself wishing for more from Eve. Her presence, though central to the plot, felt somewhat muted. The story starts strong with high stakes and jet-setting action, but the pacing does slow down in the second half, which took a bit of the edge off the suspense.

It’s also worth noting that the tone here is quite different from the TV adaptation — more introspective, darker, and closer in style to Jennings’ original vision. I really enjoyed that shift, but it might catch some fans off guard.

Still, this was a solid, engaging read. Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ARC — I’m always happy to return to the deadly dance between Villanelle and Eve.

In preparation for this arc, I read the whole series and I’ve watched the tv show, if you want a copy and paste of the tv show this isn’t the series for you which I was glad of, I think the show should have took more of the authors ideas

I enjoyed this book, to see the vulnerable side and the switch shes making from villanelle to oxana is something I didn’t expect but to see her explore her feelings is something I enjoyed.

One of the characters Balice made me want to hit my head against a wall. She was so annoying.

I think the book ended quite abruptly, on a cliffhanger but hopefully that means there will be more books 🤞🏻

Overall a great book and I enjoyed the whole series!
