How the heck did Miss Brynne Weaver make me fall in love with not one but 2 serial killers? If it wasn't for my chronic migraines i definitely would have cried reading this book. It was so sweet. This book was a rollercoaster in the best way possible. I love slow burn but I also get so frustrated especially when they're done right and this one definitely was. 

The nicknames in this book - I love. And the fact that they all have a meaning. Never once do they call each other "baby" Rowan Kane took "touch her and die" quite literally, even to the point of "look at her and die" and I'm here for it. 

The details were absolutely incredible to the way their minds worked and the intricacies of the murders and the scene - because yes they're explicit- it was beautiful. I could see the scene laid out in front of me as if I were watching Criminal Minds. 

My only complaint is that after that epilogue I need more and I need it now, Miss Weaver. Please and thank you.
