'Deliciously dark, razor-sharp, and unapologetically wrong in all the right ways' C.J. Skuse, author of SWEETPEA He wasn’t afraid of me. That was his first mistake. Read the cult word-of-mouth hit readers are obsessed with: ‘Such an incredible read!’ ‘Holy hell this book was fun!’ ‘Included all the things I like in fiction...vigilantism/revenge, cold, calculating women, themes of obsession, queer desire’ ‘Amazing twists!’ ‘You guys NEED TO READ THIS!’ Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor and an even better serial killer. She’s made it her mission in life to track down predatory men on campus and kill them and she’s preparing for her biggest murder yet. Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year at college – keeping her head down and focussing on work. But when her roommate Allison is assaulted at a party Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay. When police start investigating the spate of local deaths, Scarlett starts to realise it’s only a matter of time before her secret life is exposed and everything she’s built comes crashing down with it... ‘Deliciously satisfying... The feminist revenge thriller we need and deserve’ Megan Collins ‘A gorgeously-written ragestorm of a thriller...will shock readers as much as it satisfies them’ Wendy Heard ‘Grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go’ Samantha Downing
