Cordelia Black lives a double life. By day, she’s an ambitious pharma rep with killer sales. By night, she hunts Southern Louisiana of bad men – ones who think they’ve evaded justice. Sure, maybe the evening news has started calling the mysterious missing men the result of a “serial killer”, but Cordelia knows she’s not a killer – she’s simply the karma these men deserve.

But when Cordelia discovers a flaw in her system of elimination, pressure heightens. It gets even worse when her best friend starts dating a man that Cordelia doesn’t believe is a good person. Soon enough she has to come face to face with all the choices she’s made – the good, the bad, and the murderous, because both her family and freedom depend on it

For someone who falls asleep watching ID Network true crime documentaries nightly, I was kind of all about the female serial killer (since you know, only 16% of serial killers are females). Was this realistic? Due to the way Cordelia gets away with stuff, I would hope not! But, it’s a super fun read, especially in audiobook!

When Cordelia has a bit of a hiccup, it was kind of fun to see how she goes about trying to hide and fix her mistake.

This book has humor, drama, and action all thrown in together alongside witty and fun characters of Coredelia’s chosen family. It’s fast paced and the audiobook narrator is highly entertaining.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes the suspense of thrillers but would like a bit of a humorous twist added to their reading.
