This book made me laugh-out-loud probably more than I would care to admit. I loved Rowan's quick wit (and the fact that he's obsessed with Blackbird from day one), and sweet -- scoop-your-eyeballs-out -- Sloane. This is truly a tale of unconditional love, albeit insanely grotesque circumstances. It's a riot!

I saw a few things online that piqued my interest, I’m so glad I picked it up. As an avid enjoyer of all things grotesque, macabre, & morbid I was IMMEDIATELY enraptured by this book. I mean who else wouldn’t be like “fuck yeah I’m in” at the first mention of a rotting corpse.
The premise, to me, was unique and fun while also allowing for some interesting characters and sub plots. I usually don’t enjoy books with split POV’s but I must say this really worked, like REALLLY worked for storytelling.
I would 1000% recommend this, however it’s not for the faint of heart. Yes it is very much a dark rom-com but it is DARK. Don’t get me wrong I was laughing and blushing the whole way but when serial killers are involved, yikes. Very much read the triggers before diving in.
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 / 5
I LOVE the “obsessed from the start” trope. It has me in a CHOKEHOLD!
Also Rowan’s POV for their first time… immaculate.
Really hated the “I have to break your heart to save you” shit it just feels icky but I fucking knew we couldn’t trust David.
