This was dark, twisty and bloody hilarious! I devoured this book in just under 10 hours and I don’t regret a thing, other than the fact that it’s over now! 

Sloane and Rowan, in my mind are anti-hero’s. They’re two serial killers doing messed up things to the worst of humanity. They have a chance encounter when Sloane ended up in a a bit of a pickle after a kill and Rowan turns up and saves the day. They end in a weird friendship built off of a yearly competition between the two of them. 

Rowan from the off had me cackling, he is so witty and has perfect comedic timing. He has an air of a dark golden retriever about him…
Sloane is a total badass queen. And I loved how despite the murder she was a normal person! 
These two were perfect for each other. He was a total man obsessed pretty much from the start. They had so much chemistry and their flirty banter was everything you could want and more!

This was a perfect, dark, spicy (honestly it’s a slow burn but the spice was spicing!!!!🥵), romcom that I didn’t want to end!!!
