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.

The authors absolutely killed it with this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and I loved every chapter. 

This is a fast-paced Serial K!ller romance. Jack and Kyrie's love story is beautiful and held me captivated the whole time. I don't even know how to write this review because I don't want to give even the smallest details away. It's just so good consuming each new piece of information as it's written. 

Jack and Kyrie work together at a research university as experts in their respective fields. Their rivalry and banter are wonderful and watching it develop from that into what it becomes is magical...you know in a serial k!ller sort of way 🤭 

“There are wolves out there, Mr. Candyman. And they can’t wait to gobble you up.”
...
“You know, everyone fears the wolf. But do you know what the wolf fears in the kingdom of the wild?”
...
“The lynx.”
...
“Jack is the wolf who hunts you. But guess what I am?”

Holy fuck. Was not super excited about this book going in but this was amazing. Kyrie was so cunty (complimentary) and Jack was so good. I loved everything about this book. This was one of those books that had me pacing around my apartment and kicking my legs. Gonna start shrieking like a chimpanzee or something idk. I have the zoomies.

I used to be a die hard criminal minds fan and loved fbi agents hunting down serial killers so why did this book have me rooting for the killers!? It was just that good.

The trigger warnings and dark content were no joke but I didn’t feel like it was gore and graphic for shock and awe which I appreciate. 

The chemistry between Jack and Kyrie was off the charts and both their put on personas and their authentic selves were so engaging that reading it felt like a sprint. The epilogue was the perfect ending to their story.
