If a man hurt your best friend – like, really hurt her – what would you do?

Key his car? Or hunt him down and chop him into little pieces? Tough decision, I know.

I’ve tracked this lowlife to LA and brought my little sister Antoinette along for the ride. I'm trying not to be irritated that she's found a taste for murder and is leaving body parts all over our hotel. Because this girls’ trip needs a Hollywood ending.

And of all the men I've killed before, this one will be the sweetest…

[arc review] this is one of the best books I’ve read this year, one of the best book series I’ve ever read, and the best conclusion that I could’ve asked for.

kitty collins returns in ‘to all the men I’ve killed before’ for one last hurrah as the series comes to a close, and it isn’t a kitty collins story if there isn’t absolute madness in every page!

following along with this series has been one I’ve looked forward to since I read the first instalment back in 2023. I remember at the time being in a reading slump, and I don’t know what drew me to the story, but I picked it up and never looked back.

since then katy brent has been an auto buy author for me, and all four of her releases (including standalone, the murder after the night before) are now sat on my bookshelf and will be books I pick up every year to reread and fall back into the world of kitty collins.

‘to all the men I’ve killed before’ follows the same blueprint as its predecessors. kitty is on a mission, and will not stop until she’s reached her end game.

with every page turn, I couldn’t put it down, and found myself finishing it in one sitting. kitty is joined by antoinette, and their escapades find themselves in LA hunting down their target, and suddenly involved with a serial killer targeting women in hollywood.

it’s fast paced, very easy to follow, and an absolute stellar conclusion. my only wish is that I could wipe my brain and read it again for the first time!

overall, this series has been a favourite of mine over the years and I’m sad to see it conclude.

thank you HQ for the advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review!

Dexter meets Legally Blonde

Kitty Collins is back enacting her uniquely warped style of vigilante justice and this time she has her younger, crazier sister on board as an apprentice 😂. This was the same fun time as all the Kitty Collins books but the story was a bit of a muddle in the middle. Had a bit too much going on and strayed from the main purpose, but still lots of murdering of really bad men, so fun.

I’ll say less because there are lots of twists and I don’t want to spoil them. But I recommend trying out this series if you like a vigilante story with a little gore, a lot of justice and love the idea of burning down the patriarchy, one decapitation at a time. 🙃

Woohoooooo! got the arc! Thanks Harper Collins Canada.

4 stars for the "Kitty Collins" third book, "To All the Men I've Killed Before", which I really enjoyed (as I did the first two) - a super fun series! In this one, female serial-killer Kitty, goes off to sunny L.A. to help a friend "take care of" a man problem and she bring's her half-sister along as an apprentice in murder. But is there an another killer there whose turf they've intruded on? Funny and full of female rage, I really enjoyed it, but it did have some slow spots in the middle. Really liked the L.A. setting - the Chateau Marmont and the desert, lol!! Not sure if there's another of these or not, they're quite fun, but maybe getting just a touch stale & predictable. Anyway, it's a fast paced, sort of silly and very fun ride.

[Elodie]

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 rounded up.

I honestly didn't think I could love this series anymore, but this book proved me wrong! This is the 3rd book in the Kitty Collins series and my absolute favourite so far.

I'll admit, at the start of this book, I really wasn't sure how I felt about Kitty having an apprentice. However, despite some moments of frustration with Antoinette due to her impulsivity, I actually came to love their partnership!

Antoinette added a really fun element to this book, especially due to her sassassiness and quick wit. I loved her relationship with Kitty and how she wasn't afraid to challenge her sister, while also helping her see things from a different perspective. Shes honestly a total badass and I really hope we see more of her in the future!

I will admit though, as someone whose 32, her jokes about Kitty being old and breaking a hip because she's now 30 wounded me a little 🤣

I also really loved that this story took place in Los Angeles and that we got to meet some new characters. It really allowed us to see Kitty being challenged and growing in her "business", which I thought was a great change of pace. The new characters also had very distinct personalities that brought a lot of different dynamics to the story, which I really appreciated.

Not to mention, the idea of Kitty and Antoinette recruiting people? Love it! Makes me super excited to see where this series goes in the future.

Speaking to new characters, Cort made me laugh and I couldn't help but roll my eyes along with Kitty whenever he spoke. Can't say I was upset with his fate at the end. Toodles poodles! 😌👋🏻

Lastly, I really loved seeing how much Kitty had grown throughout this series, which this book really highlighted. It's been fun getting to know her and seeing her learn more about herself, while also seeing how her priorities may be starting to change (The surprise at the end had me smiling big!)

Overall, this was an excellent addition to the series. It kept its dark humor and fun, while also tackling some hard subjects, specifically as they relate to violence against women and the victim blaming women face within society. So, if you love female vigilantes, have a dark sense of humor, relate to female rage, and love seeing cinnamon bun men love the fuck out of their unhinged (but loveable!) women, then this book is for you!

It comes out on August 27th, 2026!

What a Rollercoaster!

[Anastasja]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

[Rani]

An underwhelming conclusion to what was otherwise a really great series. The ending felt incredibly predictable, and I saw most of the twists coming from miles away. And really… the pregnancy trope? Hated it. It felt cliché and unnecessary. Such a disappointing ending to a series that had so much potential.

[Geyka]

Look at me, finishing all these series. A very nice end to the trilogy. I love kitty collins, she is a badass. Her sister was a bit annoying tho, and got on my nerves several times. Not as morbid as the first two books I would say, definitely more plot than gore on this one.

[Reads By Tes]

Really fun way to end the series! A classical happy ending with a murderous twist☺️

[The Bookish Elf]

Three books ago, Kitty Collins killed a man who followed her out of a nightclub and discovered she had a taste for it. She has been operating alone ever since, to a private code, in a city where her family's abattoirs solve the awkward question of what to do with the leftovers. To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent takes all of that away from her. It puts her in Los Angeles with no equipment, no infrastructure and no jurisdiction, on a mission to find and kill one specific British therapist who beat her best friend into a coma and then boarded a plane. And it gives her a sister.

Where To All the Men I've Killed Before Sits in the Series

This is the third Kitty Collins novel, and it reads as a deliberate closing of the loop.

Antoinette Pemberton is twenty years old, obscenely rich, and turned out a few books ago to be Kitty's half-sister by their shared father. She has known Kitty her whole life and been related to her for about five minutes. She has also inherited the family aptitude.

Everything that makes this book work comes from that pairing. Kitty at thirty is now the cautious one, the one who talks about research and planning and tarpaulin. Antoinette is what Kitty used to be, with better technology and no brakes at all.

Kitty and Antoinette, and the Argument Between Them

The novel's real engine is a disagreement about scale.

Antoinette wants to kill the man who wolf-whistles at them outside the arrivals hall. She has a coherent case: catcalling is not a compliment, everyday harassment is the foundation the serious stuff is built on, and letting the small things go is how the large things become possible. Kitty's counter-argument is that there are not enough hours in a lifetime and she has only one pair of hands.

Brent gives both of them real ground to stand on, which is more than this subgenre usually manages. To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent is at its sharpest when the two women are simply arguing about where the line is, in a car, on a hiking trail, over cocktails they are not drinking.

Hollywood as a Body-Disposal Problem

The setting is not decorative. It is a logistical crisis.

Kitty's method has always depended on infrastructure she no longer has, and the book takes genuine pleasure in the fact that Los Angeles is the worst city on earth for this. Every hiking trail is full of people filming content. Every reservoir has cameras. And every stranger is their own main character and none of them are looking at you, which cuts both ways.

Each chapter is headed with a precise real location, from a Sunset Strip rooftop to a bungalow at the Chateau Marmont, and the effect is a very funny travel guide organised entirely around where you could and could not hide a corpse.

What To All the Men I've Killed Before Does With Its Villains

The men here are types, and that is a choice rather than a failure.

There is an ageing star whose historical allegations were dropped for lack of evidence, after which the women who made them were doxxed and moved states while his career recovered completely. There is a producer who takes meetings at home. And there is a podcaster with a man bun whose show is a feminist podcast for men, who has done shadow work and rage circles, and who cannot stop talking over the women in the room.

That last one is the best thing in To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent. He is the only male character written with any real observational cruelty, and every one of his lines lands.

The Comedy, and Who It Is Aimed At

The tone of To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent is very specific, and you will know within ten pages whether it is yours.

The narration is first-person, present tense, and relentlessly chatty, with the designer labels itemised and the murders described in the same register as a lost suitcase. Someone's remains are used as a footstool. A body-disposal brainstorm gets interrupted because nobody brought a pen. It is played broad and it is genuinely funny.

Underneath it, the argument is entirely sincere, and the book never once treats the violence against women as material for a joke. Only the men are the joke.

Where To All the Men I've Killed Before Strains

Four things keep it off the top shelf.

The interruptions become a tic. Kitty is prevented from finishing a kill so many times that the running gag starts to read as padding.
One long subplot goes nowhere on purpose, and the reveal is amusing rather than satisfying.
The politics are stated more than they are dramatised. Characters explain the argument to each other in paragraphs.
The last act resolves very fast. A well-planted twist gets about eight pages of aftermath.

Even so, To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent is the most propulsive book in the series and the only one with a genuine emotional spine.

Do You Need to Read the Others First?

Ideally, yes.

Kitty's code, her mother, the two kills she regrets and the reason her ex-boyfriend left her are all carried over into To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent, and while each is explained in passing, the explanations land as summary rather than history. Start with book one. The reading order is How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, then I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin, then this.

The acknowledgements confirm this is Kitty's third outing, and the praise pages call it the conclusion of the series.

Content Notes for To All the Men I've Killed Before

Graphic dismemberment, described at length and often comically. Extended torture of a bound captive. Strangulation. Drink spiking. Sexual assault of a young woman by a producer, recounted in detail. Historical child sexual assault, recounted by the survivor. Domestic violence and its injuries, described clinically. Misogynistic online abuse reproduced verbatim, including sustained slurs about murdered women. Coerced sex work discourse. Animal remains. An unplanned pregnancy.

Read it if / Skip it if

Read it if you want a revenge comedy with an actual thesis; if you like a double act more than a plot; if the phrase "vegan serial killer" makes you grin rather than sigh.

Skip it if you need tight construction; if broad comic narration grates on you; if you would rather the argument were left implicit.

The Verdict

Go back to the first chapter. Two women walk out of arrivals at LAX. A man whistles at them. Antoinette does not shout back. She takes his photograph, so she can reverse-image-search him later and find out where he lives, and when Kitty asks why, she explains it perfectly reasonably: so we can find him and kill him.

That exchange is the whole novel, and it is why the series needed a second woman in it. Kitty has spent three books insisting on proportion, on codes and rules and evidence, on being the reasonable one. Then a twenty-year-old arrives who agrees with every word of her politics and simply refuses the proportion, and Kitty has to work out whether she is the grown-up in the room or just the tired one. To All the Men I've Killed Before by Katy Brent is baggier than it needed to be and funnier than it had any obligation to be, and it ends the series in the only place it could: with the older woman deciding what she is prepared to hand on.

This is the first book by Katy Brent I have read and I loved it! This is the third book in the series and I didn't feel lost at all. Definitely can be read out of order. I liked the dark humor a lot. This book was like the female Dexter and I absolutely loved that! It's fun seeing women getting the revenge they deserve. Especially when it's a wild as this! And trust me, the men really deserve it! It's a thriller with lots of laughs. It feels campy which I adore as well. A great book that is a quick read. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!


Thank you to Harper 360 for providing a copy of this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

[Leonie]

I love Kitty Collins and as is the case with any Katy Brent book, I’ve read this in one sitting.

[cursedb]

No words needed. My favorite series👌🏻

[Victoria Tezangi]

I have enjoyed every book in this series and I have to admit that conclusion to this unhinged thriller collection was my favourite and while I’m sad to see the end of kitty’s stories I was left feeling satisfied and somewhat excited come the end of the book; that may be just me being hopeful for a return/spin off.

The third instalment really did show us a new and different side to Kitty with her younger sister by her side Kitty had even more to think about and consider with the stress and responsibilities pilling up. Katy Brent did a fantastic job in writing Kitty’s stress and anxiety, as I was reading i was able to pick up on and feel her worries and frustrations and as a reader it put me on edge! With Antoinette by there side it gave Kitty more to think about and consider but it also meant that she had new challenges not just in her life as a serial killer but also as a feminist and woman. There was a clear showing of the difference in generations between these two women despite the rather small age gap. Antoinette challenged Kitty on her beliefs and the way the world works and of course feminism. The voice of Antoinette was refreshing and exciting, i could feel her passion and youth but also her naivety and her recklessness and it became clear that both women benefited from each other it was just going to take some time to understand that.

The themes of trauma and internalised misogyny felt relevant and current with the comments made and plot points sure to raise questions and start conversations among readers. I found certain things said by kitty to be shocking and triggering but important in breaking down stigmas and having conversations with other women about some of the internalised misogyny we hold onto and how we must continue to learn and make progress as feminist.

The book had some great twists and while I wasn’t too surprised by most of them it still made for a fun read that felt like a perfect summer/destination thriller. Kitty was an incredible character and I’m sad to see the end of this story but I hold hope for future spin offs. If you were a fan of books one and two then you will love this and sure to feel satisfied with the ending. Kitty remains unhinged and ruthless and this is a total must read.

I will forever love Kitty Collins as one of my favourite killer ladies. 🧡🧡

But unfortunately this last book in the series was disappointing 😞 For me the problem was that we didn't get only Kitty and her brilliant mind but we constantly had her sister in the story too.

I didn't like the sister character. She was annoying and was in the way of Kitty doing her thing best.

I also didn't particularly like the plot. It went in too many different directions without it making much sense. It didn't feel planned and methodical as Kitty was in the first book.

The romance... I wanted more. 😞 It felt anticlimactic. And my biggest problem was the ending and the pregnancy... NOT every badass woman needs or wants a baby as HEA... 😞 I didn't think it fitted Kitt's character at all. Very disappointing 😕

For me the first book was absolutely the best book in this series and I would like to remember it as a standalone since the sequels weren't that strong. Specifically this last book.

Still, I'll forever treasure Kitty from the first book as one of my favourite killer lady characters. 🧡🧡🧡

So excited for this!!!

“This isn’t a girls trip. It’s a murder mission.“

“It’s my signature. All serial killers need a signature.“

“He’s an ally.”

“So here it is. The moment I have truly been waiting for. The moment that I can wipe this repugnant piece of excrement off the face of the planet.”

“Wow, you know how I feel about men, but you have got yourself a king there, Kits.”

“I’m really into this body-disposal-but-make-it-luxe vibe we’ve got going on here.”

Thanks to Harper Collins and Katy Brent for my #gifted copy of this book. I love the Kitty Collins books they are darkly comedic which is exactly what I like. I finished it in just over 24 hours if that gives you any clue as to how much I loved it.

Kitty and her half sister Antoinette are on the hunt for Aiden Ward so they can avenge Kitty’s best friend Tor….Aiden beat the hell outta Tor in the last book. But there are new villains introduced and offed in this book.

I really loved how we got to see Charlie again. I was surprised with that part of the story because where we started and where we ended were completely opposite ends of the spectrum.

One question I have though is whatever happened to Lana Del Gay?! Maybe she’ll make an appearance in book 4 and help solve another mystery.

This is the 3rd book in the series and I’m hopeful there will be more. This is a series that just keeps getting better. It’s funny because the first book was decent but 2 & 3 were my favs. I actually read the first 2 in reverse order which really didn’t matter but I’d say you really should read book 2 before jumping into book 3 in order to really appreciate the characters and storylines.

This is one of my fav series of all time and I’m so glad I gave it a shot because there is no turning back now. I’m a Kitty Collins fan for life.

QOTD: What’s your favorite series?!

[Amity Bailey]

I really had a fun time with this book! This is my first by Katy & even though it’s 3rd in the series, I enjoyed these characters and story line without the backstory from those! I definitely want to go back to get the full experience with the other books, but this one kept me hooked in! I read it in less than 24 hours & absolutely love Kitty & her sister Antionette!

This was a dark comedy, thriller vibe book, with lots of female rage, revenge plot, bad ass FMC’s and men getting what they deserve! 🤭 this was full of suspense & twists that kept me wanting more & the ending had me flipping pages like crazy!

If you love banter, laugh out loud moments, strong women, and murdery vibes, this will absolutely be for you!! I’m assuming going in order would give a lot more of a fun and revealing ride for these characters, but I enjoyed this one as a standalone as well!!! Can’t wait to go back and read more!

Thank you Harper 360 & Katy Brent for the gifted early copy!!

📚 Book Review 📚

To All The Men I’ve Killed Before is the third instalment in the wonderful Kitty Collins series. It’s fun, feisty and full of humorous situations.

Kitty finds herself this time, in L.A with her sister Antoinette looking for a certain someone to ‘take care of’ on behalf of one of Kitty’s best friends. Kitty herself is nursing a broken heart and having to cope with her sister’s unpredictable actions and choices; this is not your usual trip to sunny L.A.

This was a fun read and I think if this is the last book in the Kitty series, a good place to finish. Kitty deserves the space to hang up her Manolos for a while and enjoy her next adventure!

I’d like to thank HQ Fiction, Netgalley and the author for the arc and fantastic opportunity of being among the first to read and offer my honest opinion.

Book released 27th August (2027

LOVED this!! Definitely my favourite of the series so far 🤍

I actually think reading this made me appreciate the second book more because the second one makes so much more sense as the book that sets everything up and creates the plot for this one.

I laughed out loud many times, but also genuinely gasped at some points like I was reading a proper thriller 😂 The plot twists were definitely cheesy at times, but honestly, the humour made it work so well.

There are some really serious themes running through the book, but I think the balance between the serious moments and the humour was perfect. It never felt too heavy, and it was just such an enjoyable read!

Definitely one of those books where I finished it and immediately wanted to talk about it 😂

[Laura Reads 📚]

Kitty is back and this time she has her half sister with her.
After her best friend was attacked by her boyfriend, Kitty has made it her mission to find him and kill him.
After finding out he fled to America, Kitty and her sister fly to LA to find him. And along the way some men get in their way...


I really enjoyed this book! I already loved the other two books in this series so I was looking forward to see what Kitty would do next.
The only negative is that I did find it to be a tiny bit slow but it picked up after a development in the book.
I'm sad that Kitty's story is now over. Or is it? As I think Kitty could come back. I guess we will have to wait and see!

4/5

[Lauren]

I had the utter joy of meeting Katy Brent in 2025 and learning about how she came up with Kitty Collins and her various victims.

Book 3 (the final one in the Kitty Collins series) was drenched in humour, mishaps and murder from the start and I loved it. Whilst you can read this book as a standalone you may benefit from reading them in order to understand the character development and relationships and feuds that have taken place!

Kitty and her newly acquired sister Antoinette are off to the USA, but they are on a mission to seek out Adam, her friend's ex who after a rage of domestic violence has fled the country and the repercussions of his actions, but Kitty is going to ensure that he pays handsomely for his crimes. But LA is a big place so Kitty and Antoinette enlist the help of a local private detective, Travis.

I love the sister dynamic between Antoinette and Kitty, with Kitty playing a mentor type role to try and guide her younger sister in making the right decisions and dealing with the aftermath when she doesn't. I love that in book 3 we get a whole new host of characters to get to know, with a few cameos from key favourites from the rest of the series.
If you are looking for a book to make you laugh, make you cry, help you channel inner rage - this is the perfect read for you!

[Bookish ✨]

cudownie było wrócić na ostania przygodę Kitty, która tym razem miała miejsce w słonecznym LA, a nie Londynie.
forever my favourite vegan serial killer and i miss her already (skończyłam czytać 5 minut temu)
na początku nie wiedziałam co myśleć o „praktykantce” Kitty, ale ona była tak zabawna, sarkastyczna, że nie dało się jej nie polubić; szczególnie jej komentarze o tym że Kitty jest „tak stara, zaraz złamie biodro itp” (MA 30 LAT😭)
nothing left to say. to była cudowna trylogia, którą będę próbowała wcisnąć każdemu, so watch out!!!! I PROSZĘ WYDAJMY TO W POLSCE!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChloeElizabethReads]

this series never fails me!!

this one was such a delightful end to a great series, i’ll really miss kitty collins and her shenanigans! forever a fan of a badass fmc and she never fails me.

if you haven’t picked up this series i would HIGHLY recommend. such a fun, silly time. low stakes but never boring 🤩

thank you to netgalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

[Lauren Elkins]

I thought I’d sussed it but I hadn’t, always a twist in the Kitty Collins series! I love this series and this was a great addition and wrapped everything up well if it happens to be the last…I’m really hoping it isn’t though!

Kitty Collins is everything Finlay Donovan wishes she was ✨

[kimberley (thearieslibrary)]

A man has hurt Kitty’s best friend so she tracks him down to LA with her sister, Antoinette where she plans to get her revenge…

I loved being back with the characters for more adventures of tracking down killers and dishing out their own sense of justice. It was so sweet getting to see Kitty and Antoinette bond since they had only recently found each other and seeing them grow over the course of the book. Some of the character’s actions didn’t make a ton of sense to me and I would have loved to see them discussed more. One in particular felt like they did a complete 360 from the previous book, which I struggled to comprehend how the character had managed to change so much, when we don’t get to see that change actually happen. In addition, there were memorable side characters that added to the story.

I loved seeing the characters getting happy endings that they deserved but I wish the ending was more fleshed out in parts. Like actually being able to see the characters live out some of those happy endings would have been such a nice touch, as it’s the end of the trilogy (which I’m so sad about!). The ending felt like it’s glimpsing over things and I wish that it covered more things that happened in further detail.

I loved the different settings as it was easy to picture and I liked how each chapter had a location so you knew where the characters were. I was constantly thinking about this book and wanting to read it even when I wasn’t reading.

I loved the pacing as it worked well for the story and how things were getting unraveled bit by bit, which led to great reveals. Some were predictable but others I was shocked by until I thought about it and then I thought it was obvious, as it was right in front of me the whole time. Unfortunately, I did still have a lot of questions when I finished this book, which will never be answered.
