Y'all I never thought that I would ever say I was head over heels in love with a serial killer and crying over a rom-com about serial killers, but here we are.

I have always loved the vigilante trope, but this book reminded me just how much I love it. I love the way Brynne wrote these characters. Demented and twisted, but still very human and very loveable. I could not get enough of Rowan and Sloane and I'm so sad this book is over.

If you're considering reading this book, just do it. You will thank me later. Between the banter and the mystery (and the smut, let's be real with ourselves here), you will not want to put this book down.

(This book would've been a five star for me if there hadn't been that slight third-act breakup moment, but I'll forgive you this one time, Brynne)
