“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.

NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. HEED THE TRIGGER WARNINGS FROM THE AUTHORS.


I honest-to-God do not know how to rate this one. This book is on a whole new caliber for my reading genre.


"The unholy way in which I’m about to take her would make angels repent."

I feel like that should've been TW enough.

It's chilling. It does not aim to make you understand cold-blooded killers but it does give you lens to their activities. It's goosebumps-inducing. I was actually very afraid that the authors would try to make me sympathize with killers but no. This story truly is about villains, REAL COLD-BLOODED VILLAINS. Psychopats, if you will. Also, the way they think and their activities are disgusting, terrifying, and totally abhorrent.
