Definition of there is someone out there for all of us. Very sweet heartwarming and down right dark at times. Dexter type romance. Two people who didn’t think they were lovable taking years to get over themselves to see what was in front of them. Not super detailed imo but enjoyable. Another good audiobook to listen to while you do something else.

Highly recommend Reader should read the 2 pages of warnings before beginning, it's at the front of the novel and easy to find

Good read for fans of horror, extreme violence, anti-heros, slasher novels, psychopaths, sociopaths, serial killers, dark romance stories of vengeance, torture, light BDSM, smut, rough sex, sprinkled with wit and dark humour. 

Reads like a Christmas Hallmark movie for violent  serial killers/ psychopaths/ sociopaths

This is my favorite dark romance book! It has so much humor embedded throughout the book and I found myself relating to Sloane’s introverted personality. Even the gory scenes were lighthearted. I loved all the steamy scenes and the FMC + MMC’s love for each other was a medium-paced burn.

It’s a horny and kinky murder mystery thriller book for horny and kinky people. Not for children and not for the faint of heart. But for people of a certain libertine bent who enjoy things getting gory, this is the book for you. This book has a mission, and it accomplishes that mission perfectly. It’s a perfect book for what it sets out to do, and for that I give it 5 stars. Seriously though, not for the faint of heart. Vanilla readers look elsewhere, this ain’t your book.

I fucking adore this book. It was recommended to me by my SIL and it's almost painful how well she sniped me saying this was up my alley. 

Hands down one of the funniest and most disgusting best friends to lovers stories I never expected to read. 

I love that they give a content warning at the start of the book and I loved the story so much that I had to go back and listen to the audiobook immediately after which made it even better!

I had so much fun with this book! The banter was so cheeky, it had me giggling while kicking my feet. I usually don’t do a ton of gore but the choice to go dark comedy made it thrilling in a way that didn’t feel excessive. I’m hyped to read the next one!
