Ooooooo if you love dark romance, you gotta add this one to your tbr!!! Seriously, what a delicious & dark delight.
UNDER YOUR SKIN is Levi and Jonah's story.
Levi lives and works with his dad running a small tourist trap town's funeral home. Immediately we learn there is more than meets the eye going on in this town. With Levi, everyone in the town, and the bodies that get brought into the home.
Jonah is a serial ki ll er that has made this tiny town his home & hunting grounds. For reasons.
When a meet-accident / door lurking session happens, Jonah decides he needs to figure out why Levi is awakening all these feelings and curiosity. He needs to get to know Levi and understand.
That's literally all I'll tell you about the plot.
Holy smokes. This book was seriously amazing and catnip for the psycho bloody romance lovers. Honestly. When I tell you to check the trigger warnings, you gotta do it.
But if you're looking for a story with: made for each other vibes, killer & appreciater, serious darkness, mu rd er, violence, primal play π₯πΆπ₯πΆπ₯πΆ, blood & knife play, breath play, praise kink, flashbacks and illusions to bad shit that happened in the past, "you're mine", obsession and possessiveness, random creeps, who is the real bad guy?, and seriously off the charts steamy scenes.... look no further.
I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It was well written and instantly captivating. The entire book through, I was caring about the characters and the outcomes, waiting to see how the story would progress.
I really couldn't have enjoyed this one more. It reminded me of Dexter. But darker and moodier, and more gay. I was here for it 100%, and now I'll have to see if I vibe with the author's other published stories because this was Chef's kiss, and I don't wanna miss out.
