I loved this book! The banter between these two is absolutely hilarious and adorable. I laughed out loud multiple times. Their love story is so sweet but definitely has some spice too!
The book overall has some dark themes, they are serial killers after all. But it was an awesome read that left me wanting more! I can't wait for the next release from this author!

Please read the content warnings before reading!

This story is not for the squeamish.  That being said, I died laughing from the very beginning of the content warnings.

I listed to the audiobook to and from work and I definitely think that’s the best way to be immersed in the story.  The voice actors were amazing and really helped me envision the characters.

This was the funniest yet most disgusting book I've ever read.  I absolutely cannot wait for the other Kane brothers' stories.

Serial Killers who kill serial killers who fall in love. Despite the very dark theme this is a perfect novel....the banter, the tension, the love story and the most perfect "she's mine" definitely of the year, but it may be 🐐Ed.

I did this as an audiobook, truly transcendent. I got a bit more from having done audio 🙌🏿 👩‍🍳 💋 💯 A genuinely top-notch high quality professional product.

Lastly 🌶🌶🌶🌶 . Not only was it super hot, but it was also placed well in the novel. It added a dimension to their relationship. While there are explicit scenes this novel for me classifies as romance rather than erotica. 

Speaking of placement. I thought this book was beautifully paced. I've been looking for a moment for a book that captured my interest from page 1 and this delivered in spades. Captured on page 1 and just a page turned till the end. 

When is book 2 out? I need more. Will definitely be checking out more from this author.

Ahh! Just as good as the first read...if not more fun since I knew everything that was going to happen 🥰

I'm so happy for Brynne that a trade pub realized just how amazing this book was. Hoping they don't change anything about it when they rerelease...especially the amazing page art.

I will continue on my mission of making everyone I know read and fall in love with Sloane and Rowan 😎

Hear me out...is this about two serial killers falling in love? Yes. Is this also one of the sweetest/most romantic books I've ever read? Also, yes. 🥰

There's just something about finding that one person, in the entire world, that truly understands and accepts you. 🥰

I don't know how to explain how amazing this book is. Is there a bit of gore and violence? Yes...and yet the way that Rowan understands Sloane and gives her the space she needs to feel comfortable with him 🤌🏽

Does loving this book possibly mean I'm a bit unhinged? Idk but I have no regrets! 😌

 Listen, I was not expecting to be as obsessed with this books as I am. BUT HERE WE ARE. Okay, first off, I can no longer look at Cookies and Cream the same way again! LOL. The dynamic between Rowan and Sloane was beautiful. Their banter, the interactions they had, the pure chemistry was absolutely divine. I think Dark Comedy Romance has become one of my new favorite genres. I cannot wait for the second novel. I need it like, right now!
