I did not know what I was getting into until the content warnings page, which was super helpful, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I’m not sure this is how murderer psychology works, but I don’t really care. I loved Rowan’s single-minded, pure devotion, and Sloane’s rise in confidence as the story went on. For all the murder, the love story at the core of this is super sweet, which balances well. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

The content warnings make this look terrifying, but it didn’t bother me and the bulk of the story was the love story. This was incredibly creative and different and I highly recommend if the author’s content warnings don’t bother you.kimveach's review

If you liked the show "Dexter," then you might like this book. Two serial killers who only target "bad" serial killers get together. The book is very funny, and there is lots of sex. I can see why it's a TikTok favorite. The author nicely gives you a two-page warning of content triggers at the beginning of the book, so you can decide if this is something you'd want to read. I found it entertaining, but I tend to like the macabre.
