THE GIRL'S A KILLER - Emma C. Wells

This is a thrilling dive into the life of Cordelia Black—a woman who balances her ordinary job as a pharmaceutical rep by day with a darker, more dangerous hobby by night: hunting down and killing men who deserve it. Cordelia is unapologetically fierce, and the novel plays with the tension between her polished, controlled daytime persona and her vigilante alter ego, making her a compelling anti-heroine.

Cordelia’s life starts to unravel when the news begins reporting on a local "serial killer" targeting bad men, bringing her nighttime activities dangerously close to the public eye. The real tension ramps up when her best friend Diane starts dating a man Cordelia instinctively distrusts. This adds another layer to the story, forcing Cordelia to confront the fragility of her carefully curated life and question whether she’s truly in control—or if her lethal hobby will cost her the people she cares about most.

The book is gripping and fast-paced, exploring moral ambiguity through Cordelia’s eyes while weaving in dark humor and suspense. It’s a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing—both about the men Cordelia targets and the risks she faces as she juggles her double life. Wells expertly creates a character who’s ruthless but relatable, leaving readers on edge as they watch Cordelia’s world spiral out of control.
