Another book that throws you right in the middle of things from the start. Elle Mitchell does a really good job of pulling you in and making you sympathize in ways you probably never thought possible. The writing reminds me a bit of American Psycho with the short and to the point, matter of fact sentences. It really captures the inner thought processes or the main character.

I’ve never read a book like this, it was definitely a whole new experience for me. This book felt quite honest(?): we could get to know Elizabeth (both sides of her), her thoughts, her way of getting through life, the everyday struggles, her illness, her relationships. Knowing her bizarre thoughts was undoubtedly the weirdest thing in this story and that’s what made it so dark and gruesome.
The first half of the book felt a little flat to me, the second half was exciting, I flew through it quickly but I felt ambivalent about the ending.
It could have been 4 stars if I had liked at least one of the characters- it’s a criteria for me.
(This book was sent to me in exchange for my review.) ( )

I never thought I would say this but the world needs more books about disabled serial killers! There it is, I said it and Elle Mitchell is the writer who convinced me. Her protagonist suffers a chronic form of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and despite of the crippling pain and joint issues that go with it she decides to become a serial killer. So often in fiction disabled people are used as ciphers for either very good, almost saintly characters or evil monsters but not our Elizabeth. Our Elizabeth is not as very nice person but she is not a monster. Our Elizabeth has a life and motivations that we get to srr and understand and while we are at it we get to understand just what living with chronic pain and a largely invisible condition really means in 21st century society and that is not very pretty either.

Congratulation to Elle Mitchell for breaking a couple of moulds and doing it with a style and aplomb that is leavened witha heaped spoonful of humour to make her medicine go down ( )

I recieved this book as an ARC and absolutely loved it. It's tense, it's funny, you'll get exhausted right along with and find yourself rooting for Elizabeth as you are immersed in her thoughts and life. Gripping story, diverse engaging characters, a fun, dark, and different read. Honestly think it could be turned into an excellent a TV show as well. I will be reading more books by this author for sure and vote you do yourself a favor and give this one a read! ( )
