Was this a good book? Not really.
Did I enjoy it? To some extent.
Will I read the sequel? I'll definitely try it. :)

I expected more details behind the thought process of the serial killers, and this lack of details made the book feel so immature. As if the serial killers really aren't that bright and are too careless. It's almost a shocker they haven't been caught yet.

The romance is fine. Smut at 62% of the way thru. 

And the

cookies and cream ice  cream was really not a shocker. Booktok and Bookstagram are making this to be way more dramatic than it is.

honestly can see it coming from a mile away.

This is unlike anything I've read before: very dark and gory, but still hilarious and a great romance. The author's content warnings are needed, though, some stuff is really disturbing here!

The audiobook experience, read as a duet, is exquisite. The narrators' performance fits the characters spot on.
