I just started this and needed to read chapter 2 also. It's just so good! Badass genius serial killer who targets men who target women? If this was a show I'd watch the hell out of it. It'd be like a blend of "You" and "Dexter" with less internal delusions and more actual justice. So well done. I'm restacking it even though I'm late.
Those are actually the two comp titles I have for Olivia! And a little bit of what inspired the story. I loved both of them so much--but why do the men get to have all the fun stalking and killing and things? Heaven forbid a woman have a hobby. 👏🏻
Thank you so much! My first ever Substack voiceover, and the support has been so great. I can’t thank you enough. And I’m so glad (and very honored) that you’re enjoying Olivia. 🥹
oh my GOSH this is freaking epic??? i'm so in awe of the amount of work that must have gone into the writing and the character and the narration, because THE DETAILS?! they're thrown around so casually like they're common knowledge but they give such a huge glimpse into the story, grounding the reader into Olivia's world, I love it and I'm seriously desperate for more!!!
Ok. Pull me in. In the parking lot of my grocery store. And it was the bloody hand because it totally reminded me of the sweaty, steamy handprint Leo DiCaprio did with Kate Winslet in the Model T in the bowels of the Titanic.
Nocturnal Narrator! You've done it again. Expect a review on this series too! I did a lot of research into FBI forensics for my series Peacoat Society and specifically about a story I had on Wattpad about a morgue porter that became a werewolf and started hunting scumbags as a vigilante. I love this for a few reasons. Your awesome voice in the prose. The badass protagonist. And your expert use of all the detailed data being used by the protag as she is hunting her "prey" it reads like Dexter on speed, and I enjoyed every minute of it. My new favorite of yours. And props for whatever vast amount of statistical research went into writing it.
Oh my gosh thank you so much!! So, so much work has gone into her character and the story and I still don’t feel ever remotely close to finished. But, it does help that research happens to be one of my favorite parts 🥰
I loved this so much, you have no idea. The way this sounded completely detached but also went so deep in parts was a blend of writing I didn’t know I needed.
Honestly wanted to wait with this until Sunday, but alas, after skimming the first paragraph I could not 💛 I’ll just read it again, haha
I’m so happy you like it 🥹 I’ve spent a lot of time of developing Olivia’s character, so I have a soft spot for this one. It makes me feel good that I’m not the only one who gets to enjoy it. 🖤
I know that feeling with the candles in the mini series because they always end up being cut out of the main story (and I love them so much so that’s double hard)
but yes, absolutely adored this in the darkest way possible and was cackling when it got dark; can’t wait for the next part

Brilliant writing and the intricate detail of her research really pulled me in! This is so good.
Oh my gosh, thank you! I love when people comment on the research! 🙏🏻😭
I love this - gives 'A promising young woman' vibes but with a much more calculated feel.
Thank you so much. 🖤 I absolutely loved A Promising Young Woman—the comparison is an honor. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it so far!
Adding your voice makes Olivia so much more! I love the cadence you speak with her! Well done!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! 🖤
Love, love, love it! We need more Olivia’s out there doing the good work. And the voice-over - so good!!! ♥️♥️♥️

You are amazing and honestly one of my favorites on Substack 🥰 I’m so happy to have found you on here!
Oh now I have to go cry. 🥹😭 Thank you.
♥️♥️♥️ I’m a fan! ☺️
Excellent lead. I'm hooked. Statistical info is mind-blowing. I may become a female villain myself...hehe.
Oh man, I love female villains. Excited to read more. Our girl is terminally STEM-brained though 😉
I'm glad you love it! I should have Chapter 6 polished by next week 🖤

I love that you love it! Especially all of the detail! I was most worried about losing readers there. 🥹
If anything, I think the details make the story even better than it otherwise would have been ❤️
That is such amazing feedback! Thank you so much!

I had no idea I had paywalled comments!! It has been fixed! Thank you guys 🖤
