This book did not deliver on what it was supposed to be, at least for me. I was intrigued by the premise, but for a serial-killer romance novel, there is no "on-screen" serial-killing, and next to no romance. The ending of the story had some nice twists, and that's the best I can say about this book. It felt like it was written at a middle-school level, which is an odd choice given the extremely mature themes. I felt let down by the often incoherent and rambling prose. Overall- this novel is a fine easy read if that's what you're into, but feels a little too generic and ad-libbed to stand out to me.
