GOD this book was so good.
Let it be said I am NOT regularly a dark romance reader but this just hooked me. The premise of two serial killers going enemies-to-lovers was just SO good I couldn't help myself from picking it up. I am so glad I did, let me tell you. If I hadn't started this so late at night I definitely would've read it all in one sitting. Any hesitation I had about it being dark romance was blown away within the very first chapter.
The tension in this book is so enticing; the cat and mouse was so good it almost surprised me when they did, in fact, kiss. I just thought the chase would go on forever and I'd be perfectly fine with that.
As much as I hate using the term, Jack Sorensen is the DEFINITION of a book boyfriend. Book husband, actually, since he's in his 30s. The way he talked to her once he started figuring out his feelings and the dutch pet names? Lille mejer?? I lost my MIND when I looked up what it meant.
This book did a fantastic job of toeing the edge of too-much but also being settled comfortably in that area. It gave me everything I wanted perfectly.
