This book was a dark romance and may have triggers, so check the trigger warnings in the beginning.
This was my first A.J. Merlin book, so I didn’t know what to expect. The beginning was a bit slow, but once the story really started, I was hooked!
There were some predictable parts, but other parts shocked me. The men are morally grey, yet they’re lovable. There were some spicy scenes, but I wouldn’t say they were super spicy.
The ending wasn’t really a cliffhanger, but it left a lot to think and wonder about. All I know is, I’ll be reading the next book!

If you like dark and twisted but absolutely devoted serial killers then this is definitely the book for you. It's book 1 of 3 with the last one coming out next month and I cannot wait to delve in. This one is going on my Favorite Reads of 2024 shelf for sure

I enjoyed this serial killer romance especially the first 50%. The book is based on Blair and Oliver and they definitely had chemistry from their first meeting. The story line kept me intrigued and I liked the characters mainly. It was a fast paced gritty story that definitely had dark elements included.

I've read from this author before and loved how unhinged the book was. But I didn't expect it this to be such as for a chunk of this book it gave of different vibe but then it completely went insane. In a good way. Not the most unhinged nor insane but definitely had me hooked. I'm very thankful I've already bought the second one.

DNF @ 80% tik tok fooled me again.
I saw a snippet and the plot sounded interesting! I didn’t realize it was a F/M/M situation which isn’t my fav trope. But omg all the characters are so bland, I felt no connection between any of them.
what a shame.
