I haven’t had this much fun reading a book in a long time. The banter was the best I’ve ever read. I was smiling at my kindle like an imbecile every few lines.

I found everything in the content warnings done in a lighthearted way so nothing in this book bothered me. But definitely check the content warnings because they’re first of all funny to read but also kinda intense

If two serial killers can find a soul mate, then anyone can. Also, I highly recommend the audiobook, Rowan is narrated by an Irish man and he sounds soooo sexy.  

The scene where David uses a mandolin to slice a piece of Rowan tissue off made me sickkk.

It’s about two who serial killers it’s in their point of view each chapter.Rowan is known as Boston Butcher and Solans is known as the orb weaver known as their serial killer name . They met when she locked in a cage for 3 days with no food from her a serial killer Albert Briscoe . Rowan found her and finds the keys to the cage to let her out. He invite to lunch . Rowan did this  competition in an annual game each year so he purposely see her again they race to see who can kill a particular serial killer first . The best 3 out of 5 gets to kill an exclusive villian called the forest phantom. 
It kind of made feel a bit uncomfortable reading this book cause of the gruesome scenes and very descriptive. What began as annual competition turned into them falling for each other , and killer these killers together. It’s a relationship when in the begin they like each other but won’t admit their feels it might ruin their whatever relationship they have going on. I love the cringy cute love scenes when they express feelings, also some spicy moments . If you read this book you will know they were meant for each other .

humorous story about two serial murderers who bond over their kills- the individuals they have chosen to murder are murderers are explained to be perceived deserving of punishment. The book itself has a front page listing of “triggers” to be aware of.

What did I just read, and why did I like it? I used to read a lot of crime fiction, so the gore (plenty) didn’t push me away. I think I would have liked something a little deeper? But it’s not a serial killer psychological novel, it’s a romance. 

Sloane needed more fleshing out, more back story, which is alluded to but not fully explained. It’s one thing to avenge wrongs, another to cross the line to where she is making art work with people’s bodies. And I want to know how the guy at the end pulled it off, that seemed under explained. 

Still, fast paced, readable, a few lol moments, and a ton of very intense sex.
