☼SYNOPSIS


Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor. But she’s even better at getting away with murder.


Every year, she searches for the worst man at Gorman University and plots his well-deserved demise. Thanks to her meticulous planning, she’s avoided drawing attention to herself—but as she’s preparing for her biggest kill yet, the school starts probing into the growing body count on campus. Determined to keep her enemies close, Scarlett insinuates herself into the investigation and charms the woman in charge, Dr. Mina Pierce. Everything’s going according to her master plan…until she loses control with her latest victim, putting her secret life at risk of exposure.


Meanwhile, Gorman student Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year. Finally free of her emotionally abusive father, all Carly wants is to focus on her studies and fade into the background. Her new roommate has other ideas. Allison Hadley is cool and confident—everything Carly wishes she could be—and the two girls quickly form an intense friendship. So when Allison is sexually assaulted at a party, Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay...and turning her fantasies about revenge into a reality.



REVIEW


★★★


Rating: 3 out of 5.


the concept for this book was so captivating and I was immediately hooked. We are following a dual perspective, at first I wasn't really into Scarlett's POV but slowly, the MC´s lives interwind and the story got way more interesting.


This is not a spoiler since its literally in the first sentence of the synopsis, but we are following a literal murder, she is a killer and yet I loved her and felt for her. The true horror was not the killing part and how she did it heartless, it was more so the disgusting man behavior in this book. I found myself being repulsed by them and how gross they were. But also, there is a part in this story where I wanted to throw the fucking book out of the window, HOW COULD YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS WEARING, a skirt its not an invitation. 


Anywway, it got to a point where I was a bit bored ngl, towards the 70% of this book I was kind of ready for it to be over, nonetheless highly recommend if the blurb sound appealing. If you have ever dealed with shitty man in your life, you will relate to this.
