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.

I really liked this book! It feels weird to say it, but this was a lighthearted read about 2 serial unalivers, romance, spice, and banter. This was a funny romcom. I don’t suggest eating ice cream while you’re reading this 😂
