Self Help for Serial Killers by Asia Mackay



 Homework. Housework. Homicide. You can do it all!

Hazel and Fox have it all: two children, a beautiful home, and a late-night habit of eliminating people who deserve it. Yet work-life balance is hard when you want to kill bad men but raise good kids.

With a school mum tyrant on Haze's case, and Fox struggling with performance anxiety after a botched kill, things are spiraling. Therapy isn't helping, and bullet journaling has taken on a whole new meaning. . . .

But when they accidentally draw a dangerous group to their doorstep, the couple must pull it together—and fast. Because surviving in suburbia is no longer just a challenge. Now it's a real fight for their family's lives.

And it turns out, self-help starts with staying alive. 



Something got lost in translation for me with this novel. The first book had Hazel and Fox figuring out who they were after starting a new family and settling. Unfortunately, Fox felt like he had taken several steps backward here. His character development seemed to regress, making some of his internal thoughts feel frustrating. 

I think I also got lost with the conspiracy plot. I wonder if that was necessary as I thought the two novels were about the growth of Hazel and Fox. 

Overall, I rate this novel 3.5 out of 5 stars.
