This book is for all the people who ship hannigram. 
It's dark, it's thrilling, it's hot. I love this book so much I could actually reread it and still love it

“Dexter” is one of my favorite TV shows (minus the last season) and I love co-author Brynne’s book, “Butcher and Blackbird” a lot, so I decided to give this one a shot despite the TW. 

The parts that I enjoyed the most were directly related to the cat and mouse games between the main characters and the bigger threat at play. I had a harder time with main characters’ relationship pivoting/evolving. It seemed really abrupt at first and kind of shocking? To then have it be tender within days also seemed… unrealistic of both their personalities consider the walls they both had built.

This book is not for the faint hearted. It is NOT like butcher & blackbird with the exception that it is a story about two rival serial unalivers who happen to fall for each other. This book takes every gorey & graphic detail to the extreme. It is violent, gorey and detailed. The authors don't shy away from how depraved the characters are. The trigger warnings are real and you should definitely abide by them. 

That being said, I think going into this book with the correct expectations is going to make or break your experience. If you are looking for some psychotic serial unalivers that are academic enemies & end up equally psychotic lovers, and enjoy the nitty gritty details of how they unalived their vics & got away with it, this is for you.

I spent the first 30% of this book highly confused and then spent the next 70% as someone who questioned the main characters and their questionnaire kinks, and thinking that they were actually kinda sweet together (I’m their own murderous ways).
But the writing of this book? Absolutely brilliant.

This book was incredible! Who knew murder could be so sexy. I wish I could read it again for the first time. I read Butcher and Blackbird first and thought that was a little spicy and scandalous with the murder thrown in. This was more so! Highly recommend if you can handle dark romance.

I loved it.
As somple as that.
I love the chemistry between the grumpy sociopath serial killer Jack and the skinned alive serial killer Kyrie.
How their paths cross. How the desire and the smell of death floats around all along the story.

The danish love declarations from Jack literally killed me.
