About this audiobook
From the bestselling author of The Butterfly Garden comes a suspenseful new series for the #MeToo era about vigilante justice, close friends, and getting away with murder.
Florida journalism undergrad Rebecca Sorley is like any other college student. She tries to keep up with her studies, her friends, and her hot-tempered roommate, Ellie, who regularly courts trouble with the law.
When a male student’s remains are found in alligator-infested waters, the university warns students to stay away from the reptiles. But then a second body shows up, and the link is undeniable. Both men belonged to the same fraternity and had a reputation for preying on and hurting women.
Ellie has previously threatened to kill men who don’t take no for an answer. Rebecca and her friends thought Ellie was kidding. But now a vigilante killer is roaming campus—someone who knows how to dispose of rapists. Someone determined to save female students from horrible crimes.
With each passing day, those who know Ellie become more convinced she’s responsible. But if she is, stopping her might not be in everyone’s best interest…

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a disappointing and uncomfortable read. The book is criticized for its heavy focus on man-hating and liberal feminism, which some readers find off-putting. However, there are positive aspects to the book, such as its intriguing story and engaging writing style. Despite its flaws, some readers still enjoy the book and find it worth reading despite the interruptions in the middle of the story.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I went into this expecting to love it, since the Butterfly Garden was so good, but damn! This book is just full of man hating, save the one token good guy, and constant preaching that women are unsafe and forever in danger that had even me, a woman, feeling severely uncomfortable.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I honestly could not continue reading to the end because it’s just anger and women hating men. I agree there’s a lot of date rape, especially in sororities and college town bars, but all men are not this bad; as a matter fact there’s a lot of men that are terrified of being classified, a rapist, and go out of their way to make sure that a woman is giving permission for everything. Are there really that many women in the United States hating men so badly?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It keeps stopping in the middle of the story, but I love the book it sounds good so far just wish it would stop stopping in the middle of the story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dot Hutchison will never stop ruining my life and I will never stop thanking her for it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Soothes my man-hating soul. Woo hoo, kill all the rapists.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I agree with Azeran. This was full of liberal feminism at its peak..I read books to get away from the woman hating men, judgmental, America hating, ideology this liberal party has become but it seems every book I read anymore is just this...Propaganda full and agenda spitting toxin. No thank you. I will read another author from now on.
P.s Yes I am a woman, latin and bisexual and even im appalled by all the liberal fascism in this book. Blah...So disappointingly horrid!! I thot Democrats were the party of love and acceptance? I guess they are only like that if you are a socialist, want to kill babies, hate white ppl, hate men, get the jab, hate trump and well...Agree with everything else they think and say. That's the very reason I left that nazi-party..So sad, The democrats were different just 10 yrs ago. They actually did love everyone and welcome everyone. Smh...Ok enuff politics, I say "I read to get away from politics", Yet here I am reviewing this book like it was a Biden vs trump political diatribe..LOL. The ? just didn't do it for me at all.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Is caricature the best strategy?Rebecca Sorley is an undergrad at UFlorida Gainesville, a campus where, if we are to believe Ms Hutchison, women are never ever for a minute safe from men who harass, drug, rape, and demean them. They must cluster in their dorms for safety. The portrayal is so negative that I wonder if UFlorida will sue to have the book withdrawn. I went to a women's college long before date rape drugs so I checked with my nieces who are of college age. They don't have friends at Gainesville but say that beastly male behavior and date rape drugs are real dangers, but that some campuses are worse than others. I believe them. Nevertheless, too much of a bad thing seems more like a caricature than a life drawing. I wonder if compressing every kind of anti-woman crime, some with horrific outcomes, into a few weeks of campus life is the best strategy for a novel. I remember reading something in the text that positively eliminates the killer from being the killer. I don't have the energy to re-read the whole thing to find it, but Ms Hutchison's beta readers should have caught it.It irritated me that "pantie" is used throughout as the singular of the undergarment.I received a review copy of "Deadly Waters" by Dot Hutchison from Thomas & Mercer through NetGalley.com.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.5/5At a university in Gainesville, a male student’s remains are found in alligator infested waters. At first this seems like an accident, but soon another body is found and both victims were known for assaulting women. The premise is entertaining enough but the presentation could have been executed a bit better. At the beginning, I found myself confused with the introduction of so many characters and was frustrated trying to follow the dialogue (who was talking to who). I received a reviewer copy of Deadly Waters by Dot Hutchison from the publisher, Thomas & Mercer, through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
