This was a pretty quick read which I can appreciate; it didn’t feel drawn out. It was a bit choppy in the beginning and I found certain parts to be a little silly but as the book progressed the silliness really plays into the character personalities. It is very dark in parts and very gory so beware and make sure to read all of the trigger warnings. The ending was great and overall I really enjoyed it!

This is unlike anything I've read before: very dark and gory, but still hilarious and a great romance. The author's content warnings are needed, though, some stuff is really disturbing here!

The audiobook experience, read as a duet, is exquisite. The narrators' performance fits the characters spot on.

This book is EXPLICIT. Both in the murders and in the sex. I initially wasn’t sure how I felt about the book as I was getting a bit squicked out. (I can do gore. I can do sex. Both together was challenging.) However, I really enjoyed the characters of Rowan and Sloane and the voice actors performing the audiobook did a spectacular job. That said, it definitely was still an audiobook I turned down as I drove through town because I didn’t want to audio detectable outside of my car.
