This is a great fun sequel to the first Kitty Collins book - she's now sworn off murder and is attending a support group to help her manage her anger. But does it really need managing? Or do some men just get what they deserve?

Katy Brent’s I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin picks up the thread of Kitty Collins's story with a delightful blend of humour, mystery, and a touch of the macabre. After thoroughly enjoying Brent's first instalment, my anticipation for this sequel was high, and I’m pleased to say it lived up to my expectations.

Brent's writing style remains sharp and engaging, perfectly capturing Kitty's quirky charm and her knack for finding herself in outrageous situations. The plot is cleverly woven, filled with unexpected twists that kept me guessing while still allowing for those moments of laugh-out-loud humour that Brent is known for. The pacing is brisk, making it hard to put down, as each chapter leaves you eager to find out what happens next.

What I particularly appreciated in this sequel is the development of Kitty’s character. We see her grow, facing new challenges that not only test her wit but also her friendships and relationships. The supporting cast is just as delightful, each bringing their own flair to the story and enriching Kitty's journey.

Brent balances the darker themes of the narrative with a light-hearted tone, ensuring that while readers may ponder the serious questions of life and death, they’re also thoroughly entertained. The incorporation of gothic elements adds a unique flavour that sets this series apart in the contemporary fiction landscape.

Overall, I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin is a worthy follow-up that maintains the charm and intrigue of its predecessor. Whether you’re a fan of the first book or new to Kitty’s world, this instalment is sure to delight and entertain. I’m already looking forward to seeing where Brent takes Kitty next! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a mix of humour and mystery wrapped in a gothic bow.

Kitty Collins is back, and she’s more fabulous—and dangerous—than ever! In this latest installment, we dive into the mind of our favorite anti-heroine, whose sharp wit and dark humor keep us both entertained and horrified.
Kitty’s internal struggle with her violent impulses is both compelling and darkly funny. She grapples with her desire to kill, especially when faced with the online misogyny of influencer Blaze Bundy. It’s a clever commentary on modern society’s issues wrapped in a narrative full of sass and edge.
Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of the South of France, the story juxtaposes Kitty's glamorous surroundings with her sinister intentions. Instead of lounging by the pool with a cocktail, she’s contemplating murder while dealing with family dynamics at her mother’s wedding. This tension creates a unique blend of humor and suspense that keeps the reader on their toes.
The writing is sharp, with Kitty’s voice shining through in every snarky remark and introspective thought. It’s a deliciously thrilling ride, reminding us that while Kitty may be a killer, she’s also a woman with a complex set of morals and motivations.
If you enjoy anti-heroines with a penchant for chaos and a razor-sharp tongue, this book is a must-read. Kitty Collins proves once again that sometimes, the most compelling characters are the ones who straddle the line between right and wrong. An absolute page-turner that leaves you eagerly awaiting Kitty's next move!

I dropped what i was reading and was thrilled to be sent the latest from Katy Brent.
Its dark, funny and thrilling!
So many possible villains, great twists and one i certainly didn't guess.
Please let there be more i read this far to quickly.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I was so excited to be approved for an ARC of this book. Katy Brent is one of my favourite current authors and I’d been so excited to read this one since she announced it on instagram.

Just like Kitty, the vegan serial killer, I am a vegetarian who LOVES gory books. I certainly wasn’t disappointed with this one. It was great to catch up on Kitty’s story and was glad to see that the ending allows for a third instalment. Katy’s writing style is relaxed and easy to read, I absolutely devoured this book in the space of a few hours. The characters are well developed and the pacing was really good, I felt like I was racing through but each part of the story was given enough time to develop without it feeling like the story was dragging.

I enjoyed the introduction of some new key characters and that previous minor characters came to the front a little bit in this instalment. I am excited to see where the story goes next!

Brent expertly weaves a tale that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, tackling the realities of misogyny while keeping the reader on their toes with Kitty’s outrageous plans. The witty banter, the audacious plot twists, and Kitty’s delightful sass make this a page-turner you won’t want to put down.

"Its not even about what happened to me. Its what is happening to us always. All the fucking time. It's not fun to be a woman. No matter how much we think the world has changed, it really hasn't."

Wow. Only the other day I was discussing with friends how It seems every week on the news we are hearing horrific stories about women being target and abused in many different heartbreaking ways. We live in a society where narcissistic misogynist's can easily access platforms on social media to spread their hatred promoting toxic masculinity. I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to read a book that is willing to highlight and discuss these issues. The author is masterful in refusing to shy away from the subject matter but also adding in some much needed light hearted humour to ease the strain of reading such a heavy topic.

The story starts off with Kitty telling us about a rising social media "influencer" called "Blaze Bundy" who is dangerously misogynistic and derogatory towards women. We then follow Kitty through a journey of trying (and failing) to control her anger, relationships with her friends, her mum and her boyfriend and the concerning threats directed at her from Blaze. This all comes to a head in a really gripping way with some great twists and turns, I could not put this book down.

Honestly? I adored Kitty. I'm not going to sit here and say Kitty is without flaw. My girl NEEDS to get herself some therapy. Oh and maybe I've left it a little late in my review to drop the news that she's a serial killer...but I truly am rooting for her to get a happy ending.

All this to say, I really loved this book, its thought provoking, heartbreaking, funny, real, raw and a little wacky. A pretty great combination.


Some quotes I loved...

"It just all makes me so angry. Every time I turn on the news. Every time I go on social media. Every time I speak to a woman. There's just so much that makes me angry. Bea, I am literally sat here wanting to kill your ex-husband. But not just him, I also want to murder the judge that handed your babies over to him. I want to punch the people who made the judicial system so fucking anti-women in the face over and over again until their brains explode out of their ears"

"My mind already several miles ahead of me wondering who she is, who she wont be going home to tonight and which man is responsible for her death. Because it's always a man, isn't it?"

“Just another victim of the patriarchy he doesn’t believe in. Another white man who is furious that his life didn't deliver what it was supposed to and he wants to blame a women for it."

Thank you to NetGalley for the free ARC ❤️

All the prior books in this series were so darkly funny. It was enjoyable following kitty on her journey again. Readers who love dark twisted humor filled with fun plots will highly enjoy this read!

I Bet You’d Look Good In A Coffin ✩✩✩✩.5

Thank you to NetGalley, HQ and Katy Brent for the opportunity to read this book ahead of its review in return for my honest review.

Kitty Collins is back, and she’s setting the world to rights in her own special way.

We follow Kitty as she tries to start a new chapter in her life. Just as she approaches 30, she decides it’s time to turn her back on influencer life and murder, in exchange for a healthy relationship and self care, including attending a support group for women dealing with their anger. The problem is, the world is just still full of men that make this world a difficult place to be for women, so what is a girl to do?

I have been very lucky to read all of Katy Brent’s books as ARCs, including How To Kill Men And Get Away With It, which is where we first meet our beloved morally grey character, Kitty Collins. A vegan heiress to an abattoir empire, ridding the world of toxic men, one murder at a time. There’s something so deliciously addictive about Katy’s books and I always find myself not being able to put them down. I Bet You’d Look Good In A Coffin is no exception. Easy to read, so much fun, and full of twists and turns that you never see coming. This book will leave you gasping and giggling throughout.

All I can say is, I hope we see more of Miss Kitty Collins and her murderous ways in the future!

The usual and now expected bananas mad book by Katy Brent. Kitty is back, settled in a loving relationship with Charlie I’m getting on with her life free. And yet there is something in the air., and something on the Internet, that wakes up her indignation at the cruelty and callousness of some men towards the women in their lives. The book covers abuse, attempted rape, guns and shooting and also man to fit in a beautiful wedding in the south of France and pregnancy. The murders are gruesome and yet at the same time, Katie Brent manages to make each chapter humorous, often slightly ridiculous, but still very very funny.

In this instalment, Kitty is trying to stop killing, but it’s hard when she hears awful stories in her support group and is threatened by a toxic social media influencer, Blaze Bundy. You can’t help but love Kitty even though she is a serial killer!!!!

This book is perfect for fans of dark humour, thrillers, and reads that take a good look at societal issues. If you enjoyed How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, you’ll love this one too 🔪

Katy has done it again !!! This book is an equally as fabulous as book 1 !!! Absolutely loved it ! Murdery , bit of love , bit of dark deliciousness. and the new characters and one introduction is perfect !!!! Please never stop writing these. If you haven’t already go and read !!!! You are missing out if you don’t !!!

I was SO excited to hear that Katy Brent was releasing this sequel because I ADORED the first. Kitty Collins character is like no other and I’m so glad she’s back! I didn’t think it would be possible but I actually thought this was even better than the first book. The storyline was brilliant all the way through, I loved the mystery of not knowing who Blaze Bundy was, I was constantly guessing people throughout (and was always wrong). There’s two main things that I think make these books work so well and it’s that there’s such an important topic involved with patriarchy and misogyny, toxic relationships and behaviours and it’s such an important subject. I think the support group worked really well in recognising and understanding what women experience, you genuinely understand the anger and frustration of Kitty, there was a line in there about the justice system that will always stick with me! The other thing that makes the book work so well is that where there’s this serious topic, there’s also so much humour! I love how sarcastic Kitty is and the dark humour gives a great balance to the story, I loved the additional characters, they all had great chemistry and as previously said, the storyline stayed strong all the way through. It was a brilliant read, I highly recommend it and I will continue to read everything that Katy Brent releases because she’s such an incredible author.

Another great instalment in the Kitty Collins story! It made such a good beach read on my holiday! Kitty is a great character and I enjoyed the storyline in this one, I definitely didn’t see the twist coming though! I thought I’d figured it out but I was definitely wrong!

Deviously Dark..
Kitty Collins is back in this deviously dark sequel to the first in the series and, despite her very best efforts, she is finding it increasingly difficult not to revert back to her murderous ways. After all, there is just so much temptation. With a perfectly drawn anti heroine, a sprightly narrative littered with dark humour and even darker thoughts and an ample scattering of red herrings, this is a worthy and thoroughly engaging follow up.

Katy Brent is back with the next instalment of our beloved serial killer Kitty Collins.

She is in love and on her best behaviour. She’s not killed anyone in a while. However, there are some men out there who just need to be taken car off.

She’s joined a support group and the stories she hears are giving her murderous ideas. It’s also not helping that an anonymous social media influencer has it in for her.

To make matters worse her mother has arrived back in town for a visit. She’s been living in the south of France and about to marry a man Kitty knows nothing about.

Could Kitty be returning to her old ways.

I absolutely love Kittys character. I can’t wait for the next book.

I absolutely loved this book. It was genius and I wasn’t putting it down until I’d finished.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Kitty is back and she does not disappoint.
Following on from the previous book we think Kitty has turned her back on her killing ways. She's in love and in a therapy group. Between finding out her mother is getting married to a man she has never met and hearing the awful ways the other women in the therapy group have been treated by men it's hardly surprising that she has to give in to temptation.
As we follow Kitty's journey we are left wondering who is the mysterious influencer that is threatening her life. Is it someone we know, is it someone new, is it someone unexpected and why ate they doing it.
The scenes set out are so descriptive it's like you are there. Living it with her. The twists are amazing, the surprises just keep coming and the ending..... well, we will see what Kitty is up to next.

Kitty Collins just can't help herself.

She's at it again.

She does try, really she does, but there are just SO many obnoxious men wasting good oxygen that it's a duty to humankind to...remove them

More brilliant murderous mayhem

I'd like to start by saying how incredibly honoured I was to be invited to read the new Katy Brent novel by the publishers. This is the highly anticipated sequel to her first novel How to Kill Men and Get Away With it.

Kitty has had a bit of a detox since her last "spree" and she's doing really well - settled down with her boyfriend Charlie, enjoying the quiet life free from the chore of killing off toxic men. But she's got an itch, is still obsessed about how she wants to get rid of all the toxic masculinity and a new presence on social media is making it hard not to scratch!

The "new presence" is Blaze, a mysterious male who has amassed a following spewing misogynistic hatred all over the internet. He's vile, think of that man whose name I refuse to give a footprint to, but it rhymes with curfew fate!!!

To be honest, I was pretty sure I'd figured out who he was early on and I was delighted to be proved wrong. There are plenty of red herrings scattered throughout - enough to keep me guessing. Katy Brent has a wicked sense of humour, and her protagonist Kitty is one of my favourite fictional characters. You can completely understand why she does what she does, and the murdering and humour run parallel to a very observant social commentary on toxic men.

I laughed, I cried, I squirmed as people got dismembered and laughed some more. Another absolute gem from Katy, I stayed up till 2am to finish and I already want some more. A definite auto-buy author for me, everything she does is golden.
