This was actually quite enjoyable for a book that was outside my comfort zone. I honestly did not know what to expect going in and my first thought was expecting gore, violence, and scenes that made me squeamish. However, I really didn't get a lot of that. Yes there was gore and some schemes were kinda disgusting but nothing that made me put the book down which was what I was hoping. Also, I guess I was expecting slightly higher stakes - I mean these are literally two serial killers and I felt like all they did was get away with murder and no questions were asked. I didn't feel like there was much of a "conflict and resolution" like in other books and so this was definitely focused on the very slow-burn sexual tension romance.
