The pacing on this book is immaculate, the story and characters were engaging but it required a bit more suspension of disbelief than I am capable of. Also one of the side characters has my son's name and that was hard to forget.

Very adult content though the cover is misleading. 18+

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 enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Serial killer romance? Who knew this could be fun! I found myself chuckling at the banter but then gagging at the descriptions of some of their serial killer antics. A fun read......strangely.
