Go Down Hard is a solid debut novella! I loved the setup of two serial killers accidentally meeting in the midst of murdering, and realizing they might be into each other. I enjoy both horror and romance books, and this was a good blend (authors, I would love to read more non-paranormal horror/romance books!). I had fun reading this, and it wrapped up in a way that was satisfying to me.
Content notes - drugging, sexual assault, rape of a minor, abuse (please note that there is a rape scene, but it's not sexually charged, which I appreciated)

It was fun. It gave what it said it would - I read it all within an hour or two and had a great time with it.

It's okay. I liked the premise in the beginning and the author played out the on coming collision of the two main characters pretty well. I just wanted something more imaginative from that ultimate collision. A more devious ending. It was unoriginal for me.

Okay… this one was my bad. I picked this up assuming it was a romance, and it isn’t. There are romantic elements, but no HEA - ergo, not a romance.
It is a novella about two serial killer neighbors who begin a cat and mouse game with each other, though.
It was short (136 pages), with quick, fast paced chapters and two very compelling main characters. Jack has some serious mommy issues (who he may have inherited his killer tendencies from) and Meg is a woman seeking revenge on all evil men for a past assault.
I think this could have been an awesome romance - I love when both the hero and heroine are dark killers.
CW: there are chapters that detail Meg’s gang rape as a teen. They aren’t overly descriptive but they’re difficult to read.
