Ok, this took a bit to get into and then I was hooked. It definitely did not take any direction that I thought it would.

I was expecting a rom com similar to Butcher and Blackbird. This was not a rom-com. I'm still not sure what I think about it
This was my first book by Kate Posey, and honestly, I was a little let down.
a possibly murderous office temp and a suspicious coworker spiraling into a twisted relationship sounds amazing right? sadly, the pacing felt all over the place, and I really struggled with how often Dolores’s emotions jumped around. It made it hard for me to connect with her.
the twists near the end genuinely shocked me and kept me turning the pages, even when I was unsure about the rest. It wasn’t a perfect read for me, but if you like dark humor, morally gray characters, and chaotic vibes, it might still be worth checking out.
Side not: Cat was my favorite character!

serial killer games was such a twisty (surprisingly), sweet, funny and sometimes downright depressingly good romance novel with such a bitter sweet twist.
I loved the whole premise and idea of the book from the start, being so unique with plenty of suspense.. and the writing was so easy to read and very gripping, the way things were described and the intentional hiding of certain parts of the book in plain sight was so skilfully done. I pretty much read this book in one sitting with revelations and twists coming one after another.
I loved dolly and jake's relationship so much, the way the boned over things that would not normally be considered in a romance book was both delightful and funny to read about. I also loved learning about certain aspects of their lives and what motivated them to do things, I could really imagine and understand the characters created.
Overall, I loved this book so much more than i was expecting and it really exceeded my expectations! The ending and the plot twists right until the last page made this book enjoyable and funny even in the worst of situations!
All in all, a stunning debut novel from Kate Posey.
Thank you NetGalley for this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was fun, and went to very unexpected places. Anyone looking for something like Butcher & Blackbird will be disappointed.
