Well she got away with the Murders and she has a boyfriend now, the sequal we have all been waiting for. It was well worth the wait.

Saffy as before is her usual sarcastic and seriously bad ass self but in this book we see a more vunerable side to her as she gets the feels for her boyfriend and as she navigates the relationship with her sister.

I love how mysterious and twisty this book was, it definitely had me guessing throughout.

So looking forward to the next book. Wasn't that a cliffhanger!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a digital ARC.

I loved 'Bad Men', and now Saffy is back, and so is Jonathan, and the dog (who is slowly chewing up Saffy's very expensive shoe collection...), Saffy's sister, and a whole bunch of dead bad men!
This time around I feel like we see a bit of a softer side to Saffy. She's still hard as nails, but we also get to see her taking care of her sister, and going for therapy. We learn more about Jonathan too, and see him in the aftermath of his near death experience last time, navigating what happens to his career now and if he really wants to continue his investigations into murderers. Can Saffy maintain any semblance of a normal relationship at the same time as continuing her vigilante exploits? Well, no spoilers from me, you'll have to read it yourself, but I flew through the last half of the book wanting to find out what would happen.
I enjoyed all the different little side characters, my favourite being Jon's imprisoned serial killer friend. But there are lots of laughs through the whole book, and some satisfyingly grotesque endings for some truly horrible characters.
Looking forward to the next one already!

Saffy is one of my favourite characters and I loved the first book however I felt the sequel was a let down. Very well written and all the ingredients were there but something just felt a little off. I was also not a fan of the relationship between Saffy and Jonothan it didn't feel authentic. The novel ended in a way to suggest a third novel and I'd still be interested to see where the story might go

Another awesome book from Julie Mae Cohen, this a sequel to Bad Men, although it can be read as a stand alone, the style of writing has me hooked- the main Character Saffy, is a socialite and enjoys the finer things in life including murder. This sequel sees Saffy negotiating relationships with her beloved sister and hard won boyfriend Jonathan, her stalking of bad men and watching her plans fall apart.
I love the character, the back stories and the history… the ending happened far too soon, so I’ll be watching and waiting for the next in series.

Having read and utterly loved Bad Men, I was keen to get my hands on this new book, and I wasn’t disappointed! Body Count is absolutely hilarious; Saffy is her usual amazing self: a sarcastic bad ass with a wardrobe I would kill for. However, this time, we also get to see a more vulnerable side to her, and to be honest, it just made me love her more. I simply cannot wait for the next one. Very highly recommended.

My favourite serial killer is back - "I am Justice, I am Karma, I am Woman" oh hey there Saffy!

I absolutely loved Bad Men, so I was thrilled to read Body Count. As hilarious as ever, possibly even more so than its predecessor, Body Count is everything I needed and more.

I just adore Saffy - she's wickedly funny, absolutely bad-ass and underneath that cool and polished exterior is actually a total sweetheart. But shhhh, don't tell her I said that!

I laughed from start to finish on this wild ride. It picks up three weeks after Saffy and Jon solve the bin bag murders and they embark on their new relationship, with a few severed heads, dead bodies and twists and turns on the way - standard! As Saffy says "I might have become a serial killer anyway, in the end. I like to hope I would, because I enjoy my hobby very much and my life would be very boring without it."

I loved getting to know Saffy more and also her sister Susie and the intricacies of their relationship. The plot is exciting and I couldn't put this book down - a real page turner full of twists and turns as Saffy lurches from one calamity to next. I can not wait for the next one, Julie you can't leave us hanging like this! There's far too many more Bad Men out there who need their just desserts!

I honestly can't recommend this series enough and would give it 10 stars out of 5 if I could! Just brilliant - an absolute must read!

Saffy has gotten away with the murders and she has a boyfriend now. While her sister is dating Finlay. Thomas West is a children’s TV Star. Saffy notice something about him. So many things happens in this book. I love the twists and how the plot unfolded with secrets and mystery. The book kept me on the edge. If you like female serial killers with secrets, twists and mystery, this is right up your alley.

This is a sequel of Bad Men and the book lived up to my expectations.

4.5

I loved Bad Men and this is a very deserving sequel! Saffy is the serial killing goddess of my dreams and I want nothing but good things for her ... But I do also love the drama. This book was filled with twists and excitement and I need the next book immediately!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Our favorite heroine is back in this tale of love and murder by Julie Mae Cohen! What I love about her books is the ability to combine humor and dark topics, weaving a complex web of multi-dimensional characters.
