this was so much fun what the hell?? i knew i was going to like it but i ended up really loving it damn!
it's my first dark romantic comedy and this author has become one of my faves for sure ehehe need to read book two!!
overall, the banter between rowan and sloane was so amazing and funny and cute and then so hot and the sexual tension was so there from the beginning so fun! also rowan being already so obsessed with sloane and that's why he came up with the game just to see her again and again? that man eheh then sloane had her own demons and loved that she was a serial killer going after serial killers but had her own struggles and insecurities, it made her so human but also relatable, loved her friendship and closeness with lark my babies then loved how this was kinda friends to lovers in a way, first they're friends doing this competition once a year and talking a lot and saving each other ehehe, tho rowan was already down bad, loved seeing sloane slowly figuring it out the big picture and falling for him too! their journey was fun and dark and check trigger warnings bc there was one scene that made me pause the book for a few minutes damn but overall loved it and so excited for the second book, i can see the banter is going to be even better than sloane and rowan!!
