This book was somehow really boring, the writing was bad, and the spice didn’t give what I think it was trying to give. Disappointed considering how hyped this was on booktok.

If you liked the show "Dexter," then you might like this book.  Two serial killers who only target "bad" serial killers get together.  The book is very funny, and there is lots of sex.  I can see why it's a TikTok favorite.  The author nicely gives you a two-page warning of content triggers at the beginning of the book, so you can decide if this is something you'd want to read.  I found it entertaining, but I tend to like the macabre.

I adored this, absolutely devoured the story. Two serial killers who kill other serial killers have a chance encounter, make a "game" out of their "hobby" and fall in love.

It’s amazing written with fantastic characters. The sex was WAY too much for me. I’m just not that kinky I guess.

“I didn’t gouge them out, Butcher. I plucked them. Delicately.”

“Boobs plus murder don’t equal a relationship.”

I absolutely loved this book! I loved the slow burn and chemistry between the main characters. Their relationship was so good and well written.

The plot was great and the book combined romance and murder in a nice and unique way. There were some heavy and dark moments but also some really funny moments that made me laugh out loud.

Please read the trigger warnings before reading. Personally I was a bit worried about the cannibalism/accidental cannibalism, but those scenes were mostly funny.

Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
