alright, this was really kinda awful. it’s like ghost bird x those kerry taylor books, but worse.
for one, it’s the same old story told time and againalright, this was really kinda awful. it’s like ghost bird x those kerry taylor books, but worse.
for one, it’s the same old story told time and again in the reverse-harem world - poor naive girl who has been locked in a basement for years on end, finally enters the real world and BOOM everyone and their mum is obsessed with her. why? we don’t know. oh and also she’s a genius with photographic memory who instantly understands all textbooks.
anyway, after being immediately bombarded by, oh *checks notes* SEVEN men, and despite facing torture and sexual abuse many, many times throughout her life, our main girl instantly feels “safe” and “protected” and has an “instant bond” with these random, 6ft tall (minimum), super buff, incredibly smart, shockingly good looking men, who will NOT leave her alone. EVER. there’s maybe one guy who’s a little tech nerd, and he’s still super good looking and can fight, of course. we’ve all heard this story before, yes?
and despite declaring that they’ll protect her forever, and are always on her side, all SEVEN of these men never notice the (very obvious) signs of a terrible home life, and also never succeed in actually protecting her. i’m almost certain she’ll get kidnapped at some stage in book 2 BECAUSE IVE READ THIS STORY BEFORE.
anyway. it was kinda bad. and there was a serial killer of course. and if all that isn’t bad enough, all the men think she’s 17 years old (and to be fair, in worldly experience she’s probably like 10) and yet they keep pursuing her and talking about how much they want her, despite a couple being her teachers/guidance counsellors.

I really liked that the protagonists actually bonded and became friends with each other instead of diving straight into a relationship - and I thought the fmc’s character development was so well done. I was so proud of her by the end, I got much more invested in these characters than I thought!!
Some of the plot was a bit ridiculous, sure, and these characters definitely needed a little therapy instead of the whole “being with her fixed me” thing, but whatever. I had fun and they were such cutie pies! Plus I liked the side characters, they were such loyal friends who also had a personality! Always wonderful.
Quick, addictive, fun, but also serious at times and with some gorgeous character growth. Super adorable! ...more

i love Lynette Noni's writing - she has never let me down, and this was no exception! this book was captivating and well-writoh this was so precious!!
i love Lynette Noni's writing - she has never let me down, and this was no exception! this book was captivating and well-written, and i loved watching the two protagonists grow closer and begin to open themselves up and heal together. this is definitely a YA book, not for my strict adult readers, but i definitely recommend it to anyone interested.
i'm a sucker for a survival novel, and this gave me that thrill that i'm always searching for! i will admit that i was pissed as hell by one of the reveals at the end (personally, i thought it would have been incredibly violating, and i'm shocked how well the MCs took it), but otherwise i was swept up in this enjoyable, mildly dramatic, very adorable contemporary read! ...more
This was a really captivating read!! I’ll never turn down a book about serial killers who kill ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
This was a really captivating read!! I’ll never turn down a book about serial killers who kill bad people, because doesn’t everyone dream of a world where that can happen??
This Girl’s a Killer was a really strong debut! I loved Cordelia’s character - she was strong, determined, and unapologetic. I did find myself getting irritated when she’d make mistakes or start getting sloppy, but no one is perfect! I thought she was powerful and I really appreciated her relationship with her best friend and god-daughter, they were such an adorable trio, and I would’ve loved more Sugar content.
The overarching story was really easy to become invested in - I kept turning the pages, determined to know what would happen next, and I really appreciated the ending. I did think there were a couple of loose ends that could’ve been tied up, but overall I was happy with the plot of the novel - it was lots of fun.
I do have to say that I wasn’t surprised by majority of the plot twists - they were a bit basic and easy to guess, but nonetheless I enjoyed. Overall, a captivating read! ...more
