How can a romcom book about serial killers falling in love be cozy? I don’t know. But it sure is. The banter was top notch, their chemistry so good… I was kicking my feet and giggling at so many parts. The slow burn got me just the right amount of impatient before letting you have the payoff. I love these characters and hope the next two in the series can follow precedent. So unexpectedly fun.

Other content warning I would add that isn’t tagged is moderate nonconsensual voyeurism.

I really liked this - especially the audiobook version, it was narrated well. While weird I liked the relationships and the overall tropes. The banter was cute, the additional characters were great and I will never eat a beef nicoise salad.

It’s a book about serial killers, so there’s some generally messed-up murder and chaos

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
