Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Marrow

This book is not for the faint hearted. It is NOT like butcher & blackbird with the exception that it is a story about two rival serial unalivers who happen to fall for each other. This book takes every gorey & graphic detail to the extreme. It is violent, gorey and detailed. The authors don't shy away from how depraved the characters are. The trigger warnings are real and you should definitely abide by them.

That being said, I think going into this book with the correct expectations is going to make or break your experience. If you are looking for some psychotic serial unalivers that are academic enemies & end up equally psychotic lovers, and enjoy the nitty gritty details of how they unalived their vics & got away with it, this is for you.

Serial killer love stories are my theme for the year, I think 😂. I couldn’t get enough of Butcher & Blackbird then I saw Marrow read the synopsis and boom I started reading it and couldn’t stop, anytime I was busy doing something else I could stop thinking about when I could pick it up and start reading it again! Ever since Kyrie was attacked by a serial killer and watched her parents die while she was on the verge of death herself and her avenging angel (Jack) came to collect the serial killer and kill him while Kyrie lay dying. What Jack didn’t know was she survived and has been stalking/admiring his “work” ever since, because after that fateful day Kyrie became a serial killer too! The way that these to characters worlds are apart yet intertwined together is 🥹
