These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever

dark emotional tense slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? No

3.0

Took me a minute to realise that this was based loosely on Leopold and Loeb. The characters were unlikeable, which in itself isn't a problem, but much of the book felt very empty to me. The middle of the book dragged and was just a bunch of annoying dialogue or toxic angst that didn't really add anything to the story in my opinion. Some areas are exquisitely written, but at the end of the day, I think this book would have benefitted from being about 100 pages shorter.
