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 was fun! It didn't reinvent the wheel, but the concept wes fun and the characters were very likeable. I'm intrigued enough to read the rest of the series and see what happens next. Was there a strong plot? Not really. Sometimes a book is just fun murder scenes and romance, and that is valid. The author clearly knew what she was writing and i appreciate it.

Overall the plot of this book was great, but for me the themes were a little too dark. The descriptions were a bit too much. Nevertheless still a good book.

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.
