Katy Brent has pulled off something quite unusual by writing a sequel that is actually as enjoyable as our first introduction (in the previous book) was to Kitty Collins!

Targeted by an obnoxious misogynist influencer with the nom de plume of "Blaze Bundy", someone who is way too close for comfort, Kitty must keep her wits around her whilst visiting the south of France for her mother's wedding to her new paramour (whom Kitty has yet to meet).

This is a story about the things we want, the habits we cannot shed, and the compromises we end up making as a result of these things. But it is also about the redemptive power of love and female solidarity, even from the most unexpected sources. I loved it - highly recommended.

As a big fan of How to Kill Men and Get Away with it, I was thrilled to see a second book about Kitty Collins - and it didn't disappoint!
I found this one so hard to put down - I particularly love the deliciously dark humour throughout.
It covers some sadly very relevant, dark and gritty topics - and the very real feelings of feminine rage due to injustice.
I loved it, and it's left me hoping for a third book.
Huge thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc ebook.

I Bet You'd Look Good In A Coffin is the second book in the Kitty Collins series. Kitty is a serial killer, only ending the lives of men who really deserve it.
In this book, Kitty is reformed and has stopped her killing, that is until she discovers an anonymous influencer, Blaze Bundy, who spreads misogyny online.
Kitty heads off to the South of France with her boyfriend for her mother's wedding, but she can't get Blaze out of her mind.

I absolutely love Katy Brent's style of writing in these dark comedies; I have read other books that claim to be similar but they just don't compare. I find myself getting completely lost in the world that she creates and laughing out loud in places.

I'm really hoping there is a third book on the cards as I'd love to know what Kitty does next!

My thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers for sending this ARC in return for an honest review.

Honestly, at this point I would read Katy Brent's shopping list.

This book pulled me out of a reading slump, it was everything we expect from Katy, funny, fast-paced, and maybe a little morbid. I loved being back with Kitty and the whole cast and the new characters introduced really added to the story.

If you haven't read any of Katy's books yet please do yourself and favour and pick them up, you won't regret it!

Even though some men truly deserve it, Kitty Collins has sworn off killing. Focusing on her romantic relationship and enjoying a life free from social media, she's determined to leave her murderous ways behind. But when the anonymous influencer Blaze Bundy spreads misogyny online, Kitty’s violent instincts are reignited.

It was such a thrill to dive back into Kitty’s bloody adventures! Her wit, sass, and fiery female rage are as captivating as ever, and the new characters bring an exciting twist to the story. The sequel takes the plot in a fascinating new direction, and I'm impressed by how Kitty continues to carry the narrative forward. I did wish the Blaze storyline had unfolded differently, or that the truth at the end had been more impactful. I also would have loved a deeper exploration of Kitty’s reaction to what she learns at the Surrey group. Still, I really appreciated the focus on her mom and the family dynamic, which added another layer to Kitty’s journey.

Loved it! I hadn't read the first book (I will now though along with everything else Katy Brent writes) but it didn't make a difference so go ahead and give this a good.

I love the humerous side murder (never knew there was one til recently) and it can also get quite deep when referring Kitty's relationship to her rich glamorous mother.

I was slightly sad with the ending but not everyone can be rich, beautiful, live the Chelsea glam lifestyle and get everything perfect can they?

Thank u so much #NetGalley for the copy of #IBetYou'dLookGoodInACoffin. You will not regret downloading a copy

I hadn’t read the first book with the protagonist Kitty Collins, although I knew of it, but I was intrigued by the title of this one. Although you can easily read this one as a ‘stand alone’ - I do think it would make better reading to read them in order.

I have to be honest and say that I spent the first half of the book with a feeling of ‘okay I’m all for poetic licence’ in fiction but this is another level’ and verging on ridiculous. However, I couldn’t help but think that Kitty’s solution to extreme misogyny is actually quite a good one!
Despite my initial misgivings, I was quickly reeled in and keen to find out who the hideous influencer Blaze Bundy was and how quickly Kitty would ‘dispense’ of him. (I had an idea who he was but I was way off mark.). I found myself page-turning way later at night than I intended too.

It’s an easy, fun (if murder can be fun?) read and is well written and I loved the relationship between Kitty and Carmella. I did tire of the endless designer name-dropping and I don’t as a rule enjoy books where everyone is beautiful, with a perfect figure and shamelessly knows it! Also, as I haven’t read the first book I did wonder how Kitty funds the exotic life style she leads.

It’s Chicklit with a twist, (not my usual genre) but it was enjoyable and yes, I probably will seek out the first book, and read the third one if/when there is one!
My thanks, as always, to the author, the publishers and to NetGalley for an advance e-reader copy of this book.

Let me preface this by stating that I had no idea that this was a sequel when I picked it up which is entirely on me. That being said it felt like a lot of the past book was explained in a slightly haphazard fashion during the start of the book so I still got the jist of what was happening.
I enjoyed the general plot and I liked how a lot of sidelines intertwined to make up the full book. There was a full circle sort of moment which I really enjoyed but leaving out spoilers I do wish some things had had slightly more closure.
It felt as if it was fairly medium paced up until the last 20% where it really ramped up and there was a lot happening all at once. I do enjoy this generally but I feel maybe some more drama could have been interspersed just to keep the flow consistent.
The characters were fun to get to know but I feel some of them I lacked the deeper insight on as I hadn't read the first book. I'd like to read the first and as a note to anyone thinking of reading this one, there are clear spoilers for the first book so read that one before this one to get the full effect.
Overall, a decent read that was enjoyable and made me dream of a nice holiday to Cannes with hopefully no murders. I'm hoping that a reread in future after having read the previous book in the series may well boost this to 4 stars.
Favourite Quote - I'm wearing a yellow Chloé dress with a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals. I don't look like I just murdered someone and didn't clean up.
Favourite Character - Gabriel
3/5 stars

Thanks to HQ for givig me the opportunity to read this truly entertaining book early.

Absolutely love the Katy Brent's books and was really excited to see this available to review, so thank you! Another excellent page turner, really enjoy the mystery of whether the men she targets are truly bad men alongside the obvious 'will she get caught' - a nice change of scene set in France (mostly) and nice to...sort of? meet the family now we've met (and more) some of the friends in the first book.

Thank you!

Thank you to NetGalley for the e-arc of this book. I was desperate to read this after reading How to Kill Men and Get Away with it and I’m so grateful to get to read this early!

Kitty is back and is a serial killer. She doesn’t want to be but she can’t help it. There are too many misogynistic, horrible men who have done horrible things to women and Kitty believes these men really deserve it. Blaze Bundy, a social media “influencer”, has grown so quickly on Instagram and is out to get Kitty, she’s desperate to find out who he is; but she’s currently in the South of France watching her Mother get married.

I absolutely loved this book!! I was hooked from the start; the storyline and Katy Brent’s writing style are both so good! Even though Kitty was a bit crazy and definitely needs therapy, I adored her and was so glad someone is doing something about these terrible men!

Highly recommend this book. It was captivating, thrilling, funny, entertaining and real which made for a really satisfying read!

I loved Katy’s first book in the series (to the point where I recommend it to everyone!) and was so excited to get my teeth into it. And oh boy was I rewarded. Spiky, funny, twisty, satisfying, surprising, heartbreaking - everything I wanted from the continuation of Kitty’s story and more. Katy’s characters always feel like living, breathing people and some writers never achieve that - here it seems to come easily. I’m so excited for the next novel in the series as I need so much more!

Kitty doesn't want to murder men anymore. Men who deserve it. Men who hate women, mistreat women and men that think women are a plaything until they are bored of them and can just discard of them

But the temptation is too great. She has to get justice for these women.

Full of action, witty and gruesome all at the right moments. This is an easy to read sit back and put your feet up kind of thriller.

Murder shouldn’t bring an amusing or witty read, but this is a great fun ride from the first page to the last. I’ve known Kitty Collins, the lead character and regular murderer of unworthy men, since her previous excellent hilarious book. By the beginning of this story, she’s trying not to kill men who she decides deserve to die, but her will is broken by certain characters she meets. Her mother is getting married and Kitty thinks the step father deserves to die, but she is slightly unsure about this potential slaying. The writing is page turning quick, very funny and helps the reader to agree with her motives, even if her long term boyfriend doesn’t know. Kitty spends a lot of time wondering about someone she killed by mistake and the murder of an old female friend, because things didn’t quite work out. It was impossible to know where the story was going and to guess who could sit next on her list, but the twists and turns keep the reader engaged to the very end. I hope there’s another in this series.

Whilst I really enjoyed this book, I definitely preferred the 1st one. I think because I went into reading that quite blind so I was shocked by how crazy it was haha so this one didn't shock me as much... it follows Kitty straight from where the 1st book finishes so I would say you definitely can't read this as a standalone. I loved the character development and the fact that Kitty is trying not to kill in this book 😅 but she just can't seem to get the thoughts out her head. Just like the 1st book it covers some difficult subjects and whilst hard to read at times, it's great how Katy has written them. The last 5 or 6 chapters had my jaw open and I just couldn't believe that ending.

Such a fun read! Witty, with a clever premise.

Kitty is a great character, easy to relate to and likeable.

Read if you want an easy and fun book.

I loved this one. I've read Brent's other books, and this one didn't disappoint. I love the dark humour, the way the plot develops and the mysteries of the characters are unveiled. I love the unreliable/unlikable narrator, and I respect the overall message at the end of the book. I really look forward to reading more books from Katy Brent cos I think she has a great modern style. Highly recommend!!
