- Questionable use of a mummified corpse
Two serial killers have a meet cute and agree to have a hunting match every year after that. If that doesn’t sound interesting or like fun then steer clear.
This was so fun. Rowan was the right amount of unhinged to work and Sloane was just as attracted to red flags as me to be drawn in by it.
If you like dark but lighthearted reads definitely pick this up BUT please read the full list of trigger warnings first because that will definitely give you a good idea of if this will be for you or not.

Just read it. It's worth the hype. I loved this book. It's dark, thrilling, and funny with the chemistry and banter it was brilliant. Also felt like something I haven't read before with the witty fun and games serial killer vibes. Sloane is strong, smart and determined but also holding back on opening up to a chance at love. Then we have the fun flirty Irish man named Rowan who is a chef and would burn mountains for his woman. The spice was delicious and very intimate. The slow burn was strong but worth every minute. It just kept me gripped and engaged with the storyline as these characters were perfection. Very excited for the next instalment following Lark and Lachlan!

Love the intricate ways that each kill are not the same but there is meaning how they are killed and displayed.
