It’s about two who serial killers it’s in their point of view each chapter.Rowan is known as Boston Butcher and Solans is known as the orb weaver known as their serial killer name . They met when she locked in a cage for 3 days with no food from her a serial killer Albert Briscoe . Rowan found her and finds the keys to the cage to let her out. He invite to lunch . Rowan did this  competition in an annual game each year so he purposely see her again they race to see who can kill a particular serial killer first . The best 3 out of 5 gets to kill an exclusive villian called the forest phantom. 
It kind of made feel a bit uncomfortable reading this book cause of the gruesome scenes and very descriptive. What began as annual competition turned into them falling for each other , and killer these killers together. It’s a relationship when in the begin they like each other but won’t admit their feels it might ruin their whatever relationship they have going on. I love the cringy cute love scenes when they express feelings, also some spicy moments . If you read this book you will know they were meant for each other .

humorous story about two serial murderers who bond over their kills- the individuals they have chosen to murder are murderers are explained to be perceived deserving of punishment. The book itself has a front page listing of “triggers” to be aware of.

Well written gory horror smut. However I couldn't get past the poor medical treatment of a dislocated shoulder. Don't know what that says about me but I really kept wondering if that shoulder was okay.
