What the actual hell? This book was SO FUN, SO CUTE, SO SEXY!!! And it is 100% two serial killers who get into the grossest hijinx. Cannibalism comes up, the ice cream incident, so much murder.
And yet during it I was kicking my feet and squealing with delight. Also among the hottest scenes I’ve read in a LONG time. I cannot recommend the audiobook more. Those two acted their asses off and I have never heard dual narration that had more flow and finesse. Irish accents… are great. I assume reading the comedy would still have the same effect, but they had such amazing comedic timing. I was blushing and guffawing.
I seriously couldn’t have expected this book to land the way it did for me. I love romance and occaisionally love a true crime/thriller type, but reading about two serial killers in love would never in thousand years would strike me as compelling. I’m so so glad I followed the recommendation because this was such an end of the year dark horse. It will 100% top my EOY favorites list and I had no idea that was coming.
If you like spicy romcoms and are a little unhinged - run, don’t walk.
