One sitting. That's how quick I read this book. I am obsessed! This book is so dark and, even though I'm going to sound a bit psychotic myself here, the characters are surprisingly relatable, which is something that isn't always present withing romance books. I've got a feeling this book is going to leave me with a massive book hangover. But now I need more serial killer recs! Book 2, here I come.

While I enjoyed the twists and turns of this book, I did not enjoy the read overall.

I hated most of the dialogue. The romance did not feel believable because when things started between them they simply had not spent enough time together or even had enough straight forward conversations to develop real feelings. However, the author kept emphasizing the feelings were more than lust and I'm not convinced that they were. 

A lot of the things that Grayson says were cringey af. I kept reading though because I was curious about how it would end and then I disliked the ending. I am curious about the second book but I will not be reading the second book... I'll just look up what happens lol

If you want to read this for the smut heads up that it is a very slow burn. Every time you think they will....they won't.
