Where do I even start with this book…?
I normally would have DNFed it, it was so bad. But it’s viral right now and I was hoping perhaps it would improve, plus I knew I wanted to write a review so I needed to get the whole story.
This was the worst book I think I’ve ever read. In any category it falls under. Romance, horror, humor, whatever. It’s terribly written. The characters and narration are unrealistic and poorly fleshed out. The “horror” and gore are just there for shock value. The whole “We’re serial killers who kill serial killers” bit is just… so lame. It really could have been something, but it was SO lame. The romance was cheap and low effort was put into this supposed “slow burn” “enemies to lovers”.
I’m worried about the quality of modern books, and this is a prime example of why. This feels like it was quickly pumped out and overhyped, and people deserve better quality books quite frankly.
