Today I’m reviewing If Looks Could Kill by Julie Berry — a razor-sharp, genre-bending YA thriller where ancient myth crashes into Victorian murder. This dark reimagining pits Medusa — the girl turned monster — against none other than Jack the Ripper, flipping the narrative on who is truly monstrous.

Smart, subversive, and addictively plotted, this book blends feminist myth-retelling with historical true-crime atmosphere, giving Medusa back her rage, her agency, and her voice against one of history’s most notorious killers.

If you love myth retellings with bite, morally charged gender commentary, and stories that rewrite the narrative instead of repeating it — you’ll want this one on your radar.

✨ Tune in for a spoiler-free breakdown and follow for more dark myth, YA fantasy, and feminist thrillers every week.
