This title contains mature themes, including sexual violence. Listener discretion is advised.

Haunted by the loss of her cousin, Delilah has curated a world of revenge—playing judge, jury and executioner while, you know, searching for love.

Maybe murdering gives her the control she craves. Maybe it fills the gaping hole that Cedar left when she disappeared. Maybe this rage is ancestral, dating back to all of the Indigenous women before her whose cases were closed without much of a search.

She’s never been close to getting caught, but as a virus ripples through the world, devolving men into animals, she gets a little sloppy. Now she must ask herself, is she a monster too, or is she simply taking her power back from the hands of men?

While this is a valid style, including so much essay and opinion in a fiction story is not a style I like. There are murders and a sci fi in this book and it still feels more like an opinion essay than fiction. Some of the main points are not really explored but just used to lightly frame an essay about sexual violence. It is a good essay and an important subject and I am not sure this is the best way to discuss it.

didn't hold my attention. I really wanted to like it UT it felt like the story wasn't building up to anything. I gave up 5 hrs in.

slow

Very much enjoyed kicking back and listening to! I found myself looking forward to listening more and more of it. I would have loved a longer listen.
Nice job, Gin and Devery!!

Loved it!

As a feminist, I was looking forward to this listen and even pre-ordered it. I couldn't finish and ended up returning it because of the author's insistence on using the term "cis het". The wedging in of gender ideology completely negates the subject matter; ALL KINDS OF MALE PEOPLE commit murders and rapes, it's not somehow limited to straight men, athletic men, or men who prefer trousers. Even in a speculative fiction novel, viruses don't infect based on personal feelings. A virus can't tell if a man likes dresses or not. Male human beings do not change into female ones just because they have sex with other men or put on makeup. That's what makes them so dangerous; it's impossible to tell which ones are good.

Aside from that, the book was slow and heavy; I tried listening to it sped up and still couldn't get into it.

Excited about the concept, disappointed in the execution
