Sadly didn’t finish this one - I actually thought I had read the first in the series hence why I requested it, turns out I hadn’t and I found myself quite lost. Not a reflection on the book as I did enjoy what I read but I couldn’t get into it knowing I didn’t have a clue about the characters or what was actually going on

As a big Katy Brent fan (I adored How to get away with murder and enjoyed the murder after the night before) my expectations were pretty high for this read. I was so excited to see what Kitty did next, but this second book didn’t quite live up to the first for me. There were some serious issues that felt skirted over rather than truly explored, Kitty often seemed more like a clumsier serial killer than the savvy vigilante from book 1 and the surprising support/acceptance of her violent actions felt a bit unbelievable. Maybe if I hadn’t been so excited the let down would have felt less significant. However, I’m still a fan of the author. Both of her other works and her advocacy for women’s safety. While I’m unlikely to pick up the third novel in the Kitty series, I’d try another of her books because I generally like her style and would be interested in any of her new ideas.

Once again, outstanding. I loved the first book and I was so happy to find out about the series continuing and I love this style of writing where the reader is immediately pulled in and can’t pull away from the action. I sort of want Kitty Collins to continue on her…adventures…forever…

After reading How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy Brent and really enjoying it, I was really excited to receive an advanced copy of the second book in the Kitty Collins series, I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin.

This follows Kitty as she navigates life while trying her best to not act on her impulses and settle down with her new boyfriend, Charlie. This obviously doesn't go to plan and Kitty is faced with some pretty crazy situations as always. I really enjoyed this book and actually think I prefer it over the first one. I felt like we really got to know Kitty more as a person by finding out more about her family, seeing how she is in a relationship and learning more about what drives and motivates her murderous tendencies.

Just like the first one, there was twists, turns and shocks throughout which I absolutely loved. I also really enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook as it was the same narrator as the first book. I absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a dark, twisted and fun book, but please make sure you research trigger warnings beforehand!

Thank you so much to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another amazing Kitty Collins tale.

After reading How to Kill Men and Get Away with It a couple of years ago, I was in for a treat with, I bet...

Per usual, there are plenty of plot twists I did not see coming, ample gasps I let out, and several opportunities to pause and reconsider a lot of my emotions, but that's just Kitty Collins for you.


I loved that as a sequel, I bet... dialled down on the tone rather then shy away from it. It's a dark premise, and Brent does it justice. What amuses me to no extent — and what I'd love to explore and write about more is the inherent feminine wrath behind the murders. Sure, there are a few slip ups, as readers of Book 1 would know, but there's something so satisfying to see women in male fields (haha)

Without giving spoilers, all I can say is that it was rather delightful to see Kitty's family and loved ones around her and some revelations even she didn't see coming!

Thanks to NetGalley, publishers and author for an ARC of I Bet You'd Look Good In A Coffin.

Having read, and loved, Kitty Collins in How To Kill Men and Get Away With It, i could not contain my excitement at receiving this book for review. As I was reading i was afraid it was starting to become a little boring and predictable. How wrong was I?! It was just as brilliant as the first installment, and I'm hoping for book 3 soon.
Highly Recommend.

Absolutely loved this relatable and hitting commentary on today's 'over-sharing' culture.
I found myself rooting for Katy and her vendetta against the patriarchy though I did feel at times it could become a little 'man - hating'.

Excellent sequel and would recommend.

Darkly comic and furiously feminist this brilliant outing from Katy Brent is worth the investment of time! Well written with brilliant twists

I've not read the first book in the series, but I wish I had. Although I had read something very similar, which is also highly recommended.

This is not your conventional heroine story, Kitty Collins is not your average heroine, in fact she is a serial killer. But she only kills very bad men.

She has been on a reformative streak more recently, having met one of the 'good ones', she has been determined to make her life more 'normal' and settle down with her man.

But fate (if you will) has other ideas.

Kitty is receiving messages online from the misogynistic Blaze Bundy. He is exactly the sort of man that the old Kitty wouldn't have thought twice before killing.

Now she is desperate to show some self restraint, and also doesn't want to jeopardise her new relationship. But Blaze must still be stopped somehow.

Meanwhile Kitty learns that her Mother is getting married, to a man she barely knows, and who Kitty has never met.

Her Mother is wealthy... Surely this can't be good?

Can Kitty keep her reservations to herself and attend her Mother's wedding, or should she dig a little deeper into the fiancée's life, and find out if he is worthy of her Mother's love and affection.

Whatever path Kitty decides, she knows it is going to be tough, and that's without Blaze constantly messaging her. He seems to know so much about her.

It's high time he was stopped....

I did not realise that this was a sequel until after I had read it, so don't be put off if you haven't read the first title in what is likely to be series - it is definitely set up for more adventures at the end of 'I bet you'd look good in a coffin' - and I can't wait to read more about Kitty Collins and her special brand of justice! I will also be seeking out 'How to Kill Men and How to Get Away with it', as I want to know what happened before!

Kitty Collins is a force to be reckoned with! She has no compunction about delivering her own brand of justice - and as the book goes on, you realise that she is not the only one to feel like this. Lots of clever twists and I particularly enjoyed her relationship with her mum - who clearly knows Kitty well. This is a family which is fa from perfect with many dark secrets they would like to keep hidden - if only Kitty could stop committing murder!

Brilliantly written, dark and delicious - don't take it too seriously and enjoy the read!!

Thank you Netgalley, Katy Brent and HQ | HQ Digital for the eArc of I bet You'd look Good In a Coffin.

This is a fast paced Crime Thriller with a great humorous edge and the 2nd book in the Kitty Collins series. I have read this as a standalone and I felt that I didn't miss that much of the underlaying story. You get to know Kitty very quickly and her backstory which is extremely engaging. I loved Kitty's persona, The anti Heroine with morals and values always make a compelling character trope because on one hand they are a murderer but on the other, she's doing it for a reason.

The pacing of this book was great and pretty constant, Kitty isn't without flaws though and gets things wrong or " the wrong end of the stick " as she's trying to find out who is this Blaze Bundy, an misogynistic influencer while dealing with a surprise wedding invite by her Mother. This storylines has some great twists as everything unwinds and some surprises along the way. The finale was well executed. I'll shall be going back to read book 1 while I eagerly wait to see if we hear any more from Kitty Collins.

I also listened to the audio book of I bet You'd look Good In a Coffin and Victoria Morrison did a brilliant job bringing this already engaging book to life.

Kitty Collins is back! Your favourite vegan serial killer with a particular penchant for eliminating misogynistic, chauvinistic, and generally vile men - what’s not to love about her?!

Won’t lie, I was nervous going into this, as I’m a massive How to Kill Men and Get Away With It fangirl. But I shouldn’t have worried - Katy knows exactly what she’s doing and this was another absolute stunner!

While a lot felt familiar, this book also had a different edge. Kitty has definitely grown as a character, yet she still retains all the best bits that made her so compelling in the first place.

All the sharp wit and dark humour were present, making it just as entertaining as before. But it still managed to handle heavy topics sensitively while keeping a lighthearted tone. Katy boldly tackles important issues like violence against women, toxic masculinity, and misogyny within society, and she does it brilliantly.

Another completely addictive read - I flew through it, which says it all really. I already can’t wait to see what’s next for Kitty!

This was so good and I did not see that twist coning at all! I thought I had it all sussed out but I really didn't. I love the wit and humour that is used in this series! 100% recommend.

Kitty Collins is back! I was so excited to be approved to read this book and it didn’t disappoint.

It’s the second book in the Kitty Collins series, and if you haven’t read How To Kill Men and Get Away With It, you really must. In the second book, there are brief explanations to what has occurred in the first book, but I Bet You’d Look Good In a Coffin is a follow up to the story.

Kitty is a settled and happy female serial killer, who has put her knives away for good – or so she thinks! However, the temptation to kill Blaze Bundy, a misogynistic incel on social media, has started to grow rapidly. Blaze’s identity is unknown, as in all of his videos, he wears a masks and speaks through a voice changing device. His hatred for women really irks on Kitty’s nerves…

Then, Kitty receives an invitation to her mother’s wedding in southern France. Carmella, Kitty’s mother, is marrying a man called Gabriel, and Kitty, at first, is adamant she won’t go. With a gentle persuasion from her boyfriend, Charlie – and her mother, who appears out of the blue – Kitty agrees to go.

Then, Blaze contacts Kitty directly and soon she realises that he is headed for Cannes. The same place where the wedding is taking place.

Can Kitty uncover his identity before it’s too late?

This was such a fabulous read. I devoured it in a couple of evenings! I love how Kitty is a female Dexter; she only kills the bad guys, and let’s face it, there are loads of bad men out there.

I liked how Kitty was able to reconcile with her mother and put away the issues they’ve had in the past. Every girl needs her mum! This showed a gentler side to Kitty – she isn’t just a sarcastic, full of rage woman, there is real emotion there.

Will there be a book three? I truly hope so.Thank you to HQ for approving my NetGalley request to read and review this title.

I bet you'd look good in a coffin is a comedic thriller. Ironically, there are no coffins because it's about a vigilante killer of men. The plot reminds me of Dexter and has that phenomena where at first I couldn't get behind Kitty but eventually don't want her to get caught. I know it's supposed to be far fetched but it did det farcical pretty early on and the spoiled rich personalities grated on me. Some readers may find it triggering because there are some adult themes that come up throughout despite the humour. Quick holiday read.

3.75🌟

What an intense, twisted sequel to How To Kill Men and Get Away With It. With the same comedic, insane vibes as the last book this sequel had straight me back in the saddle with Kitty and her Vigilante ways.

I loved the first book, I found it so intriguing and I couldn’t put it down and I thought it ended perfectly. When I started this one it felt a bit slow to get into the action. Don’t get me wrong I really quite enjoyed the story and the twists had me in shock as I never saw it coming but it just felt like it was lacking something. I honestly felt like the first book could’ve stayed a standalone and been a great conclusion to Kitty.

I was sad for how this one ended as I really liked her with Charlie. I enjoyed the added characters of this one and the found family aspect at the end was fantastic and quite hilarious in a way. I’m glad for how Kitty got to reconnect with her Mother too.

Overall, I did enjoy this one but it didn’t hook me the way the first one did and as much as I enjoyed reading about Kitty taking down bad men again it just felt a little forced.

Thank you to Netgalley and Katy Brent for the E-ARC

I’m a sucker for these types of books and Katy Brent did not disappoint!

Kitty Collins is a vegan serial killer who loves fancy things. She has a wonderful boyfriend and a fractious relationship with her mother. Life’s going great but something’s not quite right and that’s Kitty hasn’t killed in a long time.

Along comes Blaze Bundy, an anonymous social media influencer who has a vendetta against Kitty. She has no idea who he is but she is determined to find out. In the midst of this, her mother’s back and she’s getting married in France.

There’s a lot more happening in this book but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Highly recommend everyone reads this book, you cannot not love Kitty.

Katy Brent delivers another wickedly entertaining read with I Bet You Look Good in a Coffin. Just like her first novel, this book is packed with sharp, dark wit and an addictive storyline that keeps you hooked. While the plot was a bit of a slow burn for me, the engaging writing and clever twists more than made up for it. The surprises were genuinely fun and unexpected, keeping me on my toes throughout. If you loved Brent’s first book, this one definitely delivers just as much. A perfect mix of dark humor and thrilling mystery!

This is a darkly humorous thriller with a sharp edge. The story follows Kitty a clever and calculated woman who takes justice into her own hands, targeting men who have built their lives on exploiting and mistreating women. With a mix of wit and suspense, the novel delivers a compelling blend of crime, social commentary, and humour.

Kitty is an intriguing protagonist—morally complex yet oddly relatable. The writing is fast-paced and while the book has its heavier moments, the humour keeps it from feeling too dark.
A smart, amusing thriller with a unique perspective. Perfect for those who enjoy crime fiction with a darkly comedic twist.

Oh My Goodness! Absolutely fabulous to see Kitty back in action, and this one will have you racing through pages with your heart thumping as you accompany her through this roller coaster of a journey. Fast and definitely furious fun.
