I hadn’t read How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, but some reviews said the sequel could be read as a standalone.
I think I would’ve enjoyed it more had I of read the first book. At 57, I also feel it might appeal to a younger audience, or maybe it just didn’t really hit the spot for me.
We follow Kitty Collins, who’s trying really hard to give up social media and killing men, but it’s proving to be difficult.
I did laugh in some parts, but found myself skimming pages just to get to the end.
With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I could not put this book down!!!!!!! I read it in less than 24 hours ( them hours included sleep and work!) I loved how this book was written, some chuckles on what kitty says in her head when having conversations with others. I didn't realise there was a book 1 which I will definitely read. although nothing seems to phase Kitty when it comes to her doing those things she's should be and taking things into her own hands, I can help but love her. I guess the ending wrong which is a first for me, although suspicions I was soon thrown off again. Great read and first read for me by this author, but definitely not my last! I have put this review also on goodreads :)

Wow this was a wild ride! The narrative was a little chaotic but very amusing, and whilst the chain of events didn't fully make sense at times, I still had a good time reading this

Having read and loved the first book I was excited to get the opportunity to read the follow up and it didn't disappoint. It feels wrong to find a book about murder amusing, but I found myself laughing out loud several times. Thank you for the opportunity to read this Netgalley.

Kitty Collins, serial killer, is a reformed character since she started a relationship with her boyfriend Charlie. The rage inside which encouraged her to go out and kill has been tamed. The meteoric rise of a new misogynistic influencer is about to change all that.



Author Katy Brent introduced the world to serial killer Kitty Collins in How To Kill Men And Get Away With It. Kitty is an Insta famous "It girl" with a skewed moral code; she rids the world of deviant men. In I Bet You'd Look Good In A Coffin we see a much more mellow Kitty. She's all loved up and this has helped to calm some of her fury. It's not completely suppressed so she also attends, anonymously, a support group so that she has a place to vent her frustration.

A tsunami of events brings things to a head, resulting in Kitty being unable to suppress her anger any longer. The most pressing issue is a social media influencer who is openly misogynistic. It is fairly obvious who this character is based on and the behaviour and reactions are in line with what we see playing out in real life. Kitty gives voice to the feelings of many women, making her objections so vocal makes her a target.

Kitty has the opportunity to flee to the south of France to attend the wedding of her mother and a man she has never met. The location is the perfect place for lots of dressing up and name-dropping. Unfortunately, it looks as if the influencer may have followed Kitty and her life begins to spiral out of control, resulting in her suspecting her mother's fiance of being devious. Not only does she believe he's after her mother's money, she also believes he's the influencer who is targeting her. Kitty's erratic behaviour puts her life at risk. Luckily, unexpected support arrives just when she needs it most, giving the series multiple opportunities for the future.

A fun, fast-paced sequel to How To Kill Men And Get Away With It, that would be a perfect holiday beach read.

Sequels can often feel tiresome and repetitive, but some character development and a change in scenery kept this one feeling fresh.

Meet Kitty Collins, influencer turned vegan serial killer. Yes, you read that correctly, serial killer. But Kitty isn't your common or garden variety serial killer. Like Dexter, Kitty only kills those who deserve it. Men who are misogynists, men who have hurt her friends, or hurt her. Men who hurt women and get away with it.
Kitty is an heiress. She's beautiful, she has friends who care about her, she has a boyfriend who adores her, and she now has a stalker of sorts, who appears to want to do her harm. Can Kitty get to him first?
I Bet You'd Look Good In A Coffin is actually the second Kitty Collins book, but it can be read as a standalone.
I loved this book. With its dark themes and black humour, it was a thrilling and fun read.
Thanks to HQ Stories and Netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This title will be available on 30/01/2025.

Love love love this character so much! I loved the first book and the second one did not disappoint! Who knew you could root so strongly for a serial killer? These books have it all, from killing off bad guys, to emotional moments and dry humour. This seems to end on a cliffhanger so I hope to god that means there will be a third book?!!! So pleased I got to read this as an ARC! 💗

Kitty Collins is back 🔪
Possibly one of my favourite main characters of all time. She has her flaws (plenty of them) but you genuinely cannot help but root for her, she’s a class act and also so so bloody funny.

This book is the follow up to how to kill men and get away with it which was a four star read for me too. I did kind of wonder whether this book could still have the desired effect or whether the character and story was fully exhausted in the first book…

Whilst a variation on the same theme, this book was just as good as its predecessor and allowed us even more classic Kitty with a surprising amount of growth and development. Katy Brent books never fail to make me snigger with laughter and this one is no different and is a welcome aspect in a book that deals with such important and heavy themes.

Violence against women, toxic masculinity and misogyny is unfortunately rampant within society and yet again, I applaud Katy for tackling this issue. It’s just a shame that the main audience for this book are women who, sadly, know this all too well.

In amongst the *serial killer* vibes, the female empowerment vibes are strong and were apparent throughout this book. Although a darkly comedic book that will have you chuckling, the underlying story is also extremely decent.

In summary, a really great and entertaining read, refreshing to see something so different pay off and I cannot wait for the next instalment 🤞🏼

Kitty is back… and she’s trying to be good! She’s sworn off murdering, for now! She’s been going to therapy to help with her anger but is it controlling the urge to rid the world of terrible men? I think not…

Kitty’s mum is back in her life and she’s getting married, Kitty doesn’t think her mums new partners intentions are true to his word. Kitty is also being sent strange videos on Instagram by a misogynistic influencer, threatening her. Then she’s worried her boyfriend is cheating! With all of this going on can Kitty hold herself back from killing?

This is book two in Kitty Collins’ murderous world and I honestly loved it! Funny, dark and quick paced! I’d 100% recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read, I love the character of Kitty, she’s given such depth over these two books and you really feel like you know her. Nice to see some new characters being introduced too. Would love to see more from Katy and I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait until January for this one, thanks NetGalley!

And we're back with our favourite vegan serial killer, but she's been taking a break and hasn't killed in a year, so that means she's not addicted right? Lmao

Full of wit and humour just like the first book however I did feel there were some parts that were that bit more serious this time and kind of touched upon subjects that actually are quite close to home especially for women. With the likes of misogynistic men, etc.
The sisterhood was definitely coming through.. girl power!!

I loved that Kitty was able to re-connect with her mum as despite everything, they had each other's backs. The ending of this book is the one, and I can't wait to see what's in store for us with book 3!

Thanks, Netgalley, for the ARC.

I thought the title might have been a quote from within the book but sadly not. For those who have read Eat Slay Love by Julie Mae Cohen then this is in a similar genre. A one woman vigilante where the appropriate punishment is death to those who she believes would not face any justice from the state. She doesn't always get the correct wrongdoer though!
It's a dark, funny and brisk read, not at all dull.

I really enjoyed this book! It’s witty, at times dark, but it hits you right in the feels.

The main character, Kitty, is different to the average woman in that she has the unusual hobby of killing men - but only if they deserve it! I definitely grew to like Kitty and I was rooting for her by the end.

Parts of the book made me so sad but others made me laugh out loud, and that is testament to the brilliant writing by Katy Brent.

It’s a fast paced, easy to read book. When I first started it, I didn’t realise that it was the second book in a series. This didn’t lessen my enjoyment and it can definitely be read and understood perfectly well as a stand alone. However, I will be going back and reading the first book.

I will be adding Katy Brent to my favourite author list and am looking forward to more books written by her.

This is a review of an ARC which was provided by NetGalley and the publishers.

Admittedly, I've not read the first book in this series but after reading a lot of disappointing novels exploring female rage - I was excited to read one that actually fulfilled its promise of a main character burning with rage. Most of this book was enjoyable, well paced, and easy to read but some of the characters pulled me away from the narrative a little - their reactions just didn't seem realistic to a lot of things. On the whole though, a fun and easy to read book if you're looking for a beach read with an unhinged (and unlikeable) main character.

Brent delves into some dark and traumatising subjects such as rape, domestic abuse and PTSD for her sequel to the Kitty Collins series.

Kitty is the central character who attends an Angry women Association, while she tells herself it is an alternative to killing, she is getting the itch to start again. Here the women embrace a safe place to voice their anger at husbands, boyfriends and injustice of the juridical system, all under the watchful eye of Kitty, in her role as vigilante. To add to this her best friend Tor, a multiple rape victim is now dating her therapist. Naturally this sends red flags to her.

The plot centres around the wedding of Kitty’s mother, Charmella, who she has an estranged relationship with. Carmella is getting married in Cannes and wants her daughter to walk her down the aisle. As the plot shifts to the past, we are given the reason behind their estrangement and to Kitty’s activities as a serial killer.

In her quest to serve justice on toxic men Kitty follows the disturbing Twitter account of the misogynist Blaze Bundy as he incites hatred and violence towards women. Soon Kitty has reason to believe that she is his real target, and the cat and mouse game begins. Can she kill him before he kills her and will she have to kill others along the way.

This was a great read, fast paced and dark at times. A book I recommend especially to those sleuths out there.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this a head of publication.

Book two in the 'Kitty Collins' series is here, and what a blast it is!

This book follows on from book one, 'How to Kill Men and Get Away With It'. You will need to read the first book "How to Kill Men and Get Away With It" to understand Kitty's life and alot of the content for this one. Also as there is a wee "catch up" at the start of the new one it would then ruin the first book for you. So stop what you're doing and go read the first installment of Kitty Collins life!

We join Kitty this time around where 2 main things are happening. Kitty has been behaving since having a good man in her life, but it's not long before she's back to her old ways and who can really blame her? She has a misogynistic influencer playing games and her mother is remarrying in France, where Kitty has been summoned too. It would be Kitty Collins without some ups and downs, but Kitty does what Kitty does best.

I love Katy Brent as an author, she's funny, diverse and her writing style makes you feel like you're part of the story. Cannot wait for more from her.


*I received an advance reader copy for free, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review*

I Bet You'd Look Good in A Coffin is the second book in the wonderfully funny series featuring Kitty Collins, the best vegan serial killer in crime fiction.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book How To Kill Men and Get Away With It which I read in April 2023, and despite being almost 18 months ago since I read it, it was easy to pick up from where we last left Kitty and re-enter her rather funny, warped and often disastrous life.

There aren't many books that I read in one sitting, but this is one that grabbed me from the opening chapter and I didn't stop until the final paragraph.

It's now a year since Kitty has killed. She's living with her boyfriend Charlie, still close with her girlfriends and living what appears to be her ideal life, except something isn't quite right. When an invitation arrives to her mother's wedding in the South of France, it coincides with some unwanted attention from a dangerous influencer called Blaze Bundy.

Honestly, this was such a fun story. Kitty is my heroine. It doesn't matter that she's a serial killer because she is sassy, funny, loyal and utterly bonkers and that's why I adore her.

I can't wait to see what happens next to Kitty and hope that Katy Brent has already started writing book 3!

★★★★★

Kitty is officially back!

I was so excited to commence this Sequel to Katy Brent’s How to Kill Men and Get Away With it, and the fact that I smashed through it over a 12 hour period tells you a lot!

I LOVED IT! I was not disappointed! It picks up a few months after the first novel (yes you do need to read the first one) and enters you into a new world of the Vegan Serial Killer.

The anger at men and the patriarchy is still very much there, and you feel it from even the minor characters in the story, however there is also a softer side. As you see the FMC struggle with her great relationships and life vs the injustice we all see and feel every day.

There are new twists, new murders, a lot of relationship building and changes for all characters that will leave you begging for more! I really hope there is a third novel as I need to know what she gets up to next!

4.5/5 stars! Only reason this is not 5 stars is because I just wish there had been more murder in it 😂.

Happy reading peoples 🤗

Where to begin…
I absolutely loved the first book and hoped for a sequel and … it did not disappoint! Kitty Collins has to be my favourite book character of all time , her humour , whit , brains and sheer knowledge of how to kill men and get away with it is enthralling from the first page. This book was a wild ride and kept you guessing from the start even though the clues set you up to figure it out before kitty herself. The setting of France was also very luxurious adding to the smoothness of the read. The plot kept me fixated on finishing not wanting to put it down , and the ending gave me the biggest smile on my face as I know we will see Kitty again .. hopefully after all we need to see how her little adventure ends. Totally In love with Katy’s style of writing it’s dark but utterly brilliant I hope she will keep giving us the joy that is Kitty Collins for a long time to come.

Thank you so much Net Galley for allowing me to read this early.

This was an incredible read, but I was not surprised by this as Katy Brent books are always 5 star reads!

This book was filled with secrets, tension, twists and turns and it certainly kept me on my toes throughout.

Not only was I surprised by the revelation of who Bryce Bundy was… but they threw an extra twist in there that really made my jaw drop!

I love that there are hints towards a third book too as I just cannot get enough of Kitty Collins!
