Marrow by Trisha Wolfe, Brynne Weaver

3.0

I love the idea of a dark romance where rival serial killers fight over a territory but the writing and plot of Marrow left me unsatisfied. I can absolutely believe our two MCs fell for each other with the amount of tension and banter in the beginning, but, as soon as they act on their chemistry, their undying love is so instant. For a serial killer who supposedly feels nothing, the MMC sure was infatuated right away. Maybe my expectations were too high after reading Butcher and Blackbird, but I wanted some contrast in the story; something light or exciting to balance out the dark. I also think it was weird how there was a serious imbalance to the characters and how fleshed out they were, the FMC got a complete backstory and her personality was showcased, but the MMC was bland and we barely get anything on his history. I just feel like Marrow didn't deliver what it could have, I found the whole book boring and slow.
