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.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ This book is the best kind of fever dream. If you can, listen to the audiobook because the narration style just completely makes the banter seem like BANTER you would think it was recorded from actual recollection not just script reading. The triggers are real so be warned, but if you’re not squeamish it’s definitely worth it.

Never have I been so invested in and rooting for serial killers [besides my Dexter phase I suppose]. The adventures of Man-guy and Peaches made me laugh until I snorted, and somehow the gore didn't gross me out. I think the humor balanced that out. But I will never have cookies and cream ice cream again. Yikes on so many bikes!

This is my first comedic dark romance and I loved it! Love the fact that they're both serial killers and I laughed so hard during the entirety of this book.
Especially in the scene where he Sloane tries to warn him that he's about to commit cannibalism but he doesn't notice because he's too drugged from the other serial killer that wanted to eat him. jajaja. Sloane really takes care of business there. And especially the part where the acomplice of the serial killer that drugged Rowan was eating ice cream made from semen. He vomited like a million times it was hilarious to read.
Yeah that's definitely my favorite part of the book.

I went into this book thinking it’d be a dark romance that also happens to be funny but I got it backwards. This is a romcom that also happens to include occasional eye-plucking and cannibalism.

I found it a lot more charming than I expected to, and had an all-around great time reading. The writing pleasantly surprised me as well.

Absolutely adorable....for a book about serial killers. Really accurate description of "really dark romcom". Which I didn't know was possible, but it's comforting and their is character growth, while also being completely unapologetic for being serial killers. And they are perfect for eachother.
