Book was too corny and cringy for my liking. The characters were flat and the time jumps made their chemistry go flat. I felt like 70% of the book is repetitive and once they show their true feelings, it’s just eh.

Fun concept, nice spice, LOVED the voice actors in the audiobook. However,

where are the cops in this town? They keep leaving what I feel like is a HEAPING paper and DNA trail at all of their murders. Naming your restaurant BUTCHER AND BLACKBIRD is a crazy thing to do if you’re trying to avoid detection. Having sex at a murder scene is a huge pool of DNA I fear. I wish there was more description dedicated to how they clean the murder scenes up to avoid detection.

A bit less based in reality than Lights Out, but still fun and lots of banter. Time jumps irked me though as I felt it took away from time we could have been getting to know these characters separately. I still don’t know what Sloane does for work.

Was it fun? Yes. Was it super graphic? Yes. Did it (like it warned it would) ruin some of my favorite foods? Also, yes. Will I be reading any of the other books in the series? Maybe. But I think one might be enough for me.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I was sucked in by the trigger warnings alone. Accidental cannibalism say what?!? 
Serial killers hunting bad serial killers (think Dexter) who are hilarious, dark, and yet vulnerable all at the same time. Plus they’re both obviously smoking hot 🌶️

Don’t read if you have a weak stomach, or if you ever want to eat cookies & cream icecream again. 
Definitely read if you love spice, killers, and a weirdly hot romance.
