A chance meeting between two serial killers leads to a friendly competition. Who can kill their next victims first?

The start of this was strong but ultimately this was a bit long for the fact that there was no plot. It is a really great duet narration on audio (which is saying a lot since I have DNF other audios with Lucy Rivers bc her prose reading annoys me. truth.) But if you take out the fact that they are “good” serial killers and all the gore, there is really nothing that's unique about this story. The characters were pretty 2 dimensional and the story was a pretty basic: he falls first and she has trust issues. The banter was pretty cute and the dirty talk was hot. But I think the audiobook got me to the end of this one.

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*.

I definitely judged a book on the title. Didn’t want to read it because the title sucks and just doesn’t flow in my opinion. HOWEVER! I absolutely adored this book! It has all the great tropes:
-slow burn (literally 4 years)
-grumpy fmc/sunshine mmc
-he falls first
-spice that moves the storyline
-murder
I’m so excited for Leather & Lark!
