You guys, Brynne Weaver knocked it out of the park AGAIN! Only she can make a story about serial killer & contract killer a cute little rom-com ♥️

I adored the chemistry between Lachlan and Lark, and absolutely ate up their slow burn romance. Being the second book in the series, I also loved that the characters from the first book were integrated into the entire storyline rather than just a quick cameo.
There was a good amount of murder, death, and crafting gore (iykyk), as expected. Last time, this author ruined cookies and cream ice cream, this time say goodbye to beer and pizza 🫣. Compared to the first book however, you will see significantly less spicy scenes, it was fairly dry until the third act (and the bonus chapter).

My only complaint is that the antagonist didn't feel connected to the story overall; they were introduced in the beginning, vaguely alluded to throughout, and really only made a physical appearance during the climax. It just didn't seem to blend in well, as if it was an afterthought to give the MCs an enemy.
