I was hesitant to start this because I go in blind, but I knew *enough* to know it's serial killers. I'm always wary when there's a lot of hype about a book as the last few overly hyped books I really didn't like.

That being said, Slone and Rowan are perfect. This story was perfect. I just can't get over how perfect it is given it's basically Dexter in love. As a Forensics major I really enjoyed all the gory parts because gore never really got to me and it's hard to find gore without horror (not that big into horror).

Oh, and the spice! THE SPICE! The book really did a good job of balancing the humor (accidental cannibalism, hiding the engagement ring in the eye socket, dragon furry cosplay, etc) with the actual story along with the spice was just *~chefs kiss~* I was sweating and figiting a few times while reading this and my husband really appreciated me reading this book lol

I'm so effing excited that Lachlan and Fionn are going to be getting their own books and Lark and Rose will be getting their HAE.

The way this book laid the groundwork for the following 2 books and how *fecking* beautiful these covers are, I really just cannot get enough nor can I wait for the next ones to come.

Literally one of my most favorite reads of this year! Easily a 5 ☆ book! It has everything: slow burn, comedy, dark romance, touch her and you'll die and so much more! I was already laughing when I heard the content and trigger warnings, and you know it's gonna be a good one when the warning page makes you laugh.

I found myself giggling and laughing the whole time, while also falling in love with Rowan and Sloane and feeling all their feelings once things started to click into place. They're romance was one of the best slow burns I've ever read, and once they finally hooked up, I was kicking my feet like a little kid 😂

They're some crazy serial killers, so of course there's going to be some crazy serial killer scenes, but you'll know within the 1st few pages if this book is too much for you.

Also, if you have the chance, get the audio book. It's 💯 worth it. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers bring Rowan, Sloane, and the whole crazy serial killer story to life that's just *chefs kiss*.
