I’m not sure how to feel about this book. It was a warm, fuzzy romance in a dark and often gross setting.

Bloody Violent Brilliant

I enjoyed the narration of this book.  it's definitely dark and too spicy for me. It was somehow still fun and enjoyable.  A good time.

Their lives are daring and bold and the relationship between them since the begging is hilarious and sarcastic.  His pining, *chefs kiss*! 
Great story line,  though I would call the climax too "climax-y" since there's murder and danger throughout (no spoilers,  though).
My only complaint (and this is just personal preference), is that I want my morally-grey,  serial killer men to be a little bit more golden retriever when he finally gets to have sex with the woman that he's loved for years.  They just went straight into it! It was spicin' for sure

I loved this book! The banter between these two is absolutely hilarious and adorable. I laughed out loud multiple times. Their love story is so sweet but definitely has some spice too!
The book overall has some dark themes, they are serial killers after all. But it was an awesome read that left me wanting more! I can't wait for the next release from this author!
