Ladykillers Book Review

Gia is what you might call a "poor little rich girl". When her wealthy father dies, he leaves his children property, but gives the majority of his wealth to charity. Now Gia and her shotgun-wedding husband Garrett are renovating Gia's Greek home so they can sell it for a cool $15 mil. 


Gia seems excited about an upcoming birthday trip to Sweden to see the Northern Lights with her brother and best friend. There's been some sexual tension between Benny and Abby in the past, although neither one has acted on it for various reasons.

Except, Gia doesn't show up to the birthday bash. Abby wonders if Gia did it on purpose to push Abby and Benny closer together. But then why won't Gia or her husband answer their phones? And why is Abby receiving threatening emails about something that happened in her past? 

Told between Abby's point of view and a manuscript written by Gia, everyone in Ladykillers has secrets: Abby, Gia, Garrett, Timeo and Emilia (the husband and wife who end up staying at Gia's home). Who can you trust?

This would be an excellent book club read with lots to discuss: unreliable narrators, what you would do in these situations, how great it would be to live on a Greek island. Ha ha.

This steamy book definitely kept me guessing!

Ladykiller is published by Bantam and was published on July 9, 2024. I received a free e-ARC to review.
