Serial Killer Games by Kate Posey
2.5

Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot a serial killer in the wild, and when she meets Jake, the mysterious new temp, she is convinced she’s finally found a real one.

This book immediately piqued my interest, and it did keep me hooked for a while, but I found myself losing interest halfway through. The story took a turn I wasn't really expecting, and I was just very confused with where it was going, and I found it hard to care. I think it's partly because I was very confused, and partly because the pacing felt a little weird.

That said, I did find both the characters to be very interesting, and I liked their banter, even though I wasn't completely sold on the romance for some reason. Most of the supporting cast was very fascinating too, and they added a very fun layer to the overall plot. The writing was also very captivating, and it does an incredible job of mixing together all the elements of the genres. Some bits and pieces here and there did drag me back into the story and catch my attention again for a while, but I think it just wasn't for me.

Many thanks to Atlantic Books & NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions are my own.
