Thank you Netgalley for my copy.

A solid 5⭐

This was great. It was funny and creepy and entertaining. I loved the MC. She was cool and brave and hilarious. This is one of the few books I will remember for as long as I live.

Can't wait to read more from Kellman.

This was a a dark, fun read! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator sounds like a friend telling a story so that was prefect for this type of book. I loved this one, the serial killer aspect was interesting with lots of dark humor even with all of the serious and sad parts. Highly recommend!

Following the rape of her younger sister Millie sets up a service coming to the rescue of women finding themselves in a vulnerable position on a night out. One of these rescues goes a little too far but with no one suspecting her involvement Millie goes full blown vigilante and before long she’s a serial killer and that doesn’t include her dad. But when she loses her job is she also losing her grip on reality? Then she starts dating a police detective - will her actions catch up on her?
When I started reading I thought this book might be too much like Katy Brent’s great book ‘How to Kill Men and Get Away With It’ but with its great back story, great characters and humour it is a great addition to the trope. Millie is a woman you want to back. Yes, there’s the odd accidental, not properly considered murder, but who can’t relate to that? We all have bad hair days!
With themes of stalking, date rape drugs and unwanted attention this book is sadly all too relevant. I highly recommend it to any woman who’s felt vulnerable due to the behaviour of a man at some time.

Massive thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK Audio for this ARC.

If you’re a woman in need then contact Millie on the message M helpline. Millie will help you with any issue you have whether it’s an abusive boyfriend, a date gone wrong or any other threat. She might even commit a murder. Is she a feminist vigilante or a monster. You can decide as you follow Millie in her pursuit of revenge for her Sister’s attack.

I’ve never read a serial killer book quite like this one, how refreshing to see a new take on the serial killer genre.

The author uses fantastic characterisation to explore the main characters backstory which goes a long way to explaining her motivation for murder. Never thought I’d find myself having sympathy for a serial killer and at times I found myself rooting for her in her pursuit of revenge.

This was a fast paced, dark, witty and at times surprisingly comic story. However I would have liked a bit more storyline development around the Dial M users as these parts felt slightly rushed.

Found the narrator fit the character perfectly and binged this story in a day.

3.5 stars
I enjoyed getting to know Millie a bit before her murderous spree began.
To find out she was a decent human being set on helping others in need, a loving sister and a loyal friend.
That helped me like her more when the bodies kept piling up.
It's a fun listen, lots of humour in there, but plenty of darkness too , subjects of abuse and rape and of course murder.
What got old, quite quickly for me, was Millie falling into flirting within minutes of not getting what she wanted, and EVERY single male falling for it.
Non the less, it was a great listen, and definitely one I'll recommend to friends.

This took me ages to get through not because it dragged or I didn’t enjoy it but I kept skipping back to listen to little pieces of excellence over and over.

Requires multiple trigger warnings, I really wish they’d add them.

Dark, gory, grizzly but witty and sharp as a tack!

I love that the protagonist breaks the third wall all the way through the book, she makes suggestions directly to us and questions us. Is the third wall even a thing in a book?!! I’m unsure but it worked so well.

Absolutely smashed it out of the park with a huge 5 stars 🌟

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins U.K. audio for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook in return for an honest review.

Eve Kellman writes a darkly humorous serial killer thriller that will likely have you rooting for killer the more you get to know and understand her. I listened to this on audio, narrated by Elisabeth Hopper, whose voice took me some time to get used to as her tone was a little harsher than I expected, but once I had acclimatised to it, I was fine, becoming completely immersed in the all too gripping story. Millie Mason carries a burden of guilt, her wonderful younger sister that she is so proud of, Katie, who had managed to get into Durham University, is raped, and Millie is left haunted, she feels she should have been there to protect her. Having failed when it comes to Katie, Millie does the next best thing, she tries to save other women now.

Millie has set up a hotline, Message M. in her spare time, (her day job has her working in a picture framing shop), for women and girls who find themselves being harassed, in unsafe situations when it comes to men, such as being stalked, followed home in the dark, or unable to shake a unwanted man off at a bar. Millie steps in to help, only when she accidently kills a deplorable man when rescuing a young woman who had her drink spiked, she keeps her cool, cleaning up and making it look as if it was an accident. This puts intriguing ideas in head as she becomes an intentional killer, all with the goal of helping women. Slowly in a drip drip style, we become aware of more details on what happened to Katie and Millie, there are some surprising twists and turns before the final conclusion.

This is a fun, fast paced, satirical, and entertaining read, that underlines the serious issues and challenges that women face on a everyday basis in real life, achieved with this stylish drama, the author creating the vehicle of a compelling female serial killer with her terrific asides, rage at what happened to Katie, what it did to her sister afterwards, as she searches for the guilty man, and the spot on points she makes. I can see many readers and listeners enjoying this too!! Many thanks to the publisher for an ALC.

Absolutely loved this audio book. I do enjoy a female serial killer and this follows along the lines of Sweetpea and How to Kill Your Family. I thought the message service for females stranded or with men who wouldn't take no for an answer was genius and before you know it the main character is racking up the body count. Narration was fantastic and I listened in a few days. Will definitely read more from this author in the future.

Wow wow wow!!
I listened to this in a day! It to me through talking the wallpaper of my bedroom.
I couldn’t love it more
It was full of funny banter, true friendship and a little murder.
I actually had read the book but listening to it was a whole new different experience I gave the book 4 stars. But this was definitely 5!!!

The title just draws you in and cover is bright and fun. But you stay for the brilliant dark humour. I absolutely it Millie writing it as her dairy was so different it was so much fun to listen too. i adored Millie and found it hard to see the wrong she does a female serial killer I would still want as a friend. This really is a breath of fresh air in uniqueness. I would definitely recommend! It’s fun light brilliant humour a little murder with a strong female character what more could you want.
