Bria is not what she seems. On the surface she is a dedicated and bright student. Secretly she is hunting down and killing anyone who can lead her to the elusive cult leader, Caron Berger. Eli, a psychology professor, has teamed up with the FBI to investigate the same cult leaders Bria has been secretly killing off. 

This one was set up for an incredibly interesting story. Badass female serial killer out to get revenge? ✔️ Crazy cult vibes? ✔️ Amazing sexual chemistry? ✔️

Unfortunately, after about 20% it just lost me. Once the two of them got together, the plot just went right out the window. Which is too bad because it could have been SO interesting. The cult plot line just felt like an afterthought throughout the rest of the book. 

I did like the ending tho. Eli embraces the darkness and gives Bria a special "gift". 

Tropes: professor/student, female serial killer, cults, revenge

Amazing! I always love a good murder book. My only issue was that he seemed to okay with the murders. Like he seemed violent but not murderous so the switch at the end seems abrupt.

Such a cool, original storyline and I loved the main characters. The FMC was so in control and it was fascinating to get inside her mind, I love that she was always 1 step ahead. The MMC was dreamy and dorky but also not at all because he had a dark side. The side characters were great too and I found this book to be so well written, surprisingly intelligent and intriguing. Such a cool and quick read, amazing spice and a great plot! Check TW’s first though as there’s a lot in this one.

This dark romance has a hot professor, a badass serial killer and it’s 🌶🌶🌶!

Anything by Brynne Weaver is an instant read for me. Her books always have the perfect balance of plot and spice and keep me captivated from start to finish. I did not want to put this book down and finished it in under 24 hours!
