TMI/TW:
The book starts with the FMC locked in a cage, starving, watching maggots eat the corpse of a man. As someone in healthcare, I've seen maggots like this, I've seen starvation far past the point of the FMC. But hearing her call the maggots an army of "orzo pastas" marching towards her & her growling stomach was...healing. A funny thought to replace a disturbing image.

I was thoroughly entertained and enjoyed the slow burn relationship that took years (actual years!).
Was a bit apprehensive about the cannibalism TW, but I must say it was done…tastefully ;) and the comedic tilt certainly helped!

Despite the long list of trigger warnings, a lot of them relate to mentioning a past trauma and the whole story is very light hearted. I don't feel like it makes light of murder however you are rooting for the main characters (who are by definition serial killers) but their 'prey' are well deserving of their punishment and the reasoning behind it is due to their own past traumas and ensuring others don't live the same fate. Very heart warming storyheadinthepages's review against another edition

The story was entertaining and well-paced but nothing special. The romance was interesting - with the serial killer element - but quite superficial
