I listened to this book on audible and loved it.  This book is best described as a dark spicy rom com that had it all.  Deep back stories with a past,  enemies to lovers vibes,  slow burn,  strong desire,  thick tension,  witty, clever,  funny,  emotional. And to top it off the narrators were duet and the way they played off each other was perfect, you could feel the chemistry, and that Irish accent! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm not a big fan of horror or gruesome things

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 story

This storyline really confused me. Smut was top tier though.

I mostly liked the narration but at times was a bit over-acted 😂

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