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.

💀 serial killer romance 

Who the eff knew serial killer romances would become my favorite thing!? It’s like horror, thrillers, and romance wrapped up into one. Wolfe & Weaver have seriously honed in on that genre and are DOMINATING it. This book was brilliantly written by this infamous duo. 

Marrow is a rival serial killer romance. These two love to hate each other. For example, he pisses her off so she tases and sedates him to frame him for murder. 

This book was too unbelievable. I loved every minute of it. If I didn’t believe Wolfe & Weaver weren’t two of my favorite authors before, I do now. Their content is so unique. Their characters are morally grey vigilantes who take on lovable golden retriever qualities. Who would have thought I’d say that about SERIAL KILLERS!? 

The quick, witty banter is top notch in this book. If you loved the Darkly, Madly Duet, or Butcher & Blackbird, this novel is a great mix of both. Super spicy. A touch of horror. And a sprinkle of psychology. That’s also how I know Trisha had a hand in this book. She is an artist when it comes to the psychology of dark romances. Where Brynne shines is in the grumpy x sunshine banter, oh and her love for piercings. 

Okay, shutting up now. Just go read this now!!!

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.

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.

Now listen, I’ve been in the game for a while, so it takes a lot for me to get the giggles. But this one? 🤭🤭🤭
