This book was somehow really boring, the writing was bad, and the spice didn’t give what I think it was trying to give. Disappointed considering how hyped this was on booktok.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The banter amongst the characters (not just the MCs!) and first-person narration honestly made me LOL, and the plot was a great vibe. I think the slow-burn aspect of their romance could have been executed better, but whatever. Some of the bedroom talk feels very Wattpad and reads I'm a dark and crazy serial killer and super edgy, but I'm invested in the characters enough that I'm willing to look past it... they're just having fun. I'm sure it's a very different experience as an audio book, so I'll consider revisiting it in that format. :)

Ron-com except they’re serial killers. But they only kill people who deserve it! 😂
