I started blogging in August 2018 after encouragement from friends who'd seen me talking about the books I'd read on my private social media. I had never heard of Bookstagram and didn't know that there was a whole community of book bloggers out there. I didn't know I was about to find a place that felt like home and meet friends I know I'll have for a lifetime.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Meet Kitty Collins.
FRIEND. LOVER. KILLER.
He was following me. That guy from the nightclub who wouldn’t leave me alone.
I hadn’t intended to kill him of course. But I wasn’t displeased when I did and, despite the mess I made, I appeared to get away with it.

I’ve got a taste for revenge and quite frankly, I’m killing it.
A deliciously dark, hilariously twisted story about friendship, love, and murder. Fans of ..read more
