Thanks to Madhoney for giving me the title. These are some of the books I love where women decide to rid the world of scum in creative and not so gentle ways.

Yes âšđȘ Stabby Stab Stab đȘâš So considering what this list is, I am super intrigued by 'The Eyes are the Best Part' đ (Runs to add to TBR đââïž)
So i wouldnât say the fmc is a serial killer like the others, but the trash man in her book is the reason sheâs on my list. đ The book is more of a psychological than thriller or serial killer romance so just a heads up on that.
Lol, that's fair! Thanks for the heads up
I love butcher and blackbird!!!
Me too! Thatâs what started it all for me. đ After that book, I went down the rabbit hole of serial killer romances and women who murder scummy men. â€ïž
Love the list idea!! I saved it immediately.
Yay! I hope if you read them, you enjoy them as much as I did đ
Can't wait
What a fabulous list đ evil laughs
This is awesome! I have to say They Never Learn by Layne Fargo would go perfectly in this list.
Thank you!! Added on the list and also in my interest category đ€Ł
I think Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil could fit nicely in here đââïž
I was hesitant at first because Sabine went rogue đ But yes! She did deal out some major stabby justice! đ Added đ
You should check out Bloody Black by Rhiannon Hargadon and The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson they both encapsulate stabby justice perfectly!
Higly recommend the Mindf*ck Series by S.T. Abby
Nice! Iâll put the first book of the series on the list! đ
Oooo I love this list and the mix of psych thriller and romance picks! If you are open to recs I can suggest Huntress Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff
Always open to recs đ
Ohhhh this list is amazing! đđ I LOVE Butcher and Blackbird, currently listning to Leather and Lark and loving it too, so Iâm SUPER EAGER to discover other books with vigilante stabby women đȘđâš
My mission next year is to read more murderous women. đ€Ł
We all need more standby women! đ
#goals
If anyone has suggestions, please let me know! Serial killer romances are my favorite. đ€Ł
