This book was one of the most entertaining and memorable reads I’ve picked up in a while! I was worried it won’t live up to the hype, but boy was I wrong!

But yeah, that list of trigger warnings wasn’t a lie. 😅

This story was all sorts of messed up, then again what would you expect from a romance of two serial killers who specialize in killing other serial killers?

Definitely not a book for anyone who can’t stand gore, torture, explicit sex scenes, accidental cannibalism and questionable use of a mummified corpse. 

If none of these bother you though, go pick it up! 

I laughed out loud on numerous occasions as much as I’ve gasped at the bloody shenanigans of our two MCs. Not to mention that one of our lovely serial killers is an anxious mess, which is just super bizarre and at the same time sort of adorable in itself, which is definitely not an adjective I thought to ever use describing a psychopath. 😅

Will definitely pick up the next book as well!
