I'm literally obsessed with Kyrie and Jack! 
I loved this book. It's everything I want in a romance while being everything I want in a thriller.
I couldn't put this one down. I was captivated from the start and as much as I didn't want this one to end I needed to know how it played out. 
With serial killers hunting their pray and an FBI agent in the midst this one has twists and turns while not forgetting the detailed sexu@l content.
This is a Dark serial killer romance. Check your triggers.

I read Butcher & Blackbird, with probably the most extensive list of trigger warnings I've seen (yet), and essentially giggled by way through it. Not so much in this one. The spicy scenes in this one were . . . rough. I implore you to think about how cool you really are about
somnophilia
cause woof. Some of this made me uncomfortable. The book overall was gorey and violent, but 'tis to be expected when we're following dual serial killers.

I've also read Black Sheep, which Brynne Weaver wrote with Alexa Harlowe. Gotta say the writing quality in Marrow was significantly lower than Butcher & Blackbird and Black Sheep. I haven't read any Trisha Wolfe stuff so - perhaps this is her influence? (sorry to throw you under the bus, Trisha) I felt like Jack was incredibly flat. The most interesting thing about him was his
kinda insane amount of nether region piercings?
The "villain" kinda came out of nowhere and I was unclear on his motivation and endgame. The enemies could have enemied a bit more before getting together.
