Oh. Em. Gee!! What a ride! I love the mix of serial killer, murder, love and angst. Rowan is too horny all them time, to be honest, but his protective nature is just great. I feel like more background on each of the character would've been great, like more on how they find and choose their next kill (though I know Lachlan chooses their game pray). I think this would have helped us understand them more in terms of their relationship with killing, trauma and death. We get snippets here and there, and it may be cause Brynne Weaver wanted the romance to be more of the forefront, I don't know. Since the next book focuses on related characters, I hope we get more of Sloane and Lark's story and The Cane brothers' story.

Love the intricate ways that each kill are not the same but there is meaning how they are killed and displayed.
