APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you love serial-killer stories and romantic comedies, then buckle up for this wild, bloody ride. Sloan and Rowan are both serial killers, and they both only kill other murderers. When they meet-cute while pursuing the same target, they decide to turn that accident into an an official yearly game: They compete to reach a selected predator first, and the winner gets to stage the murder scene in their own unique style. The gruesome twosome’s flirty banter and the visceral enjoyment they get out of their contest demonstrate what a great connection they have. But these two products of damaged pasts both have trouble trusting other people and being vulnerable enough to openly admit what they feel. Follow this unusual couple’s darkly funny journey, and you’ll find yourself wondering: How many evildoers need to die gruesomely before these two finally get together? Narrators Lucy Rivers and Joe Arden’s fully engaged performances heighten the unexpected hotness of this bizarrely charming, brutally violent rom-com.
Customer Reviews
Love this audiobook
I read this on paperback but the audiobook took this to a whole new level. The narrative acting was amazing. Many times while listening to this book I marvel on how well done it was narrated. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Chef’s kiss.
Awful
So hard to follow and drawn out
Make Murder Romantic Again!
The whole restaurant ending was so cute and romantic! Well written I can play the scene in my head as if it were a movie!
It was Love with a Side of Murder.
