Overview
Darkly comic and addictively readable, Bad Men is a wild romp of a feminist thriller that asks if even a serial killer can have a happily ever after. Julie Mae Cohen subverts expectations with this gripping thriller where the woman is the hunter, not the prey. Saffy, a vigilante with a strict moral code, takes justice into her own hands, eliminating the ""bad men"" who prey on women. But as she gets closer to the man of her dreams, she must decide if love is worth risking everything. Saffy's mission is fueled by righteous anger and a deep desire for justice, but it's also complicated by her own vulnerabilities and desires. As she navigates the treacherous waters of romance and revenge, she'll challenge your assumptions about what it means to be a hero. Sharp, witty, and utterly original, Bad Men is a must-read for fans of Gillian Flynn and Oyinkan Braithwaite. It's a thrilling, thought-provoking exploration of power, morality, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love.
