 Friends to lovers??? I didn't know friends instantly lust after each other like that lmao.

It's funny because I know if I re-read chapter one, I will still expect something completely different from what we end up getting. Because I liked Sloane and Rowan so much better even before the first game hit. And it's weird to see a 180 of their personality as the plot (it's barely a plot, let's be honest here) goes forward. Like, the revelation of their past is nothing special but made senses in the grand scheme. But man... these two ended up pretty lame.
 
Like, it's campy. It's gory. The bantering is sometimes cute. The sex is honestly way more disgusting than that overhyped ice cream moment. It's fine. But, like... it doesn't go anywhere you'll be surprised with. I really hated just how possessive Rowan got over Sloane (like I get caring for her, especially she's wanting that, but she's a FREAKING SERIAL KILLER LIKE YOU, balance it out, man). And Sloane turns into a damsel so quickly when killing and in bed--I'm happy the third act gave her a moment to shine despite how stupid everyone acts. Like, how old are y'all? Your acting isn't great to be that convincing. 

But yeah--it's another Booktok miss for me. I'm rather disappointed.

Gory erotica, but with a whole lot of light-hearted storyline would be how I'd describe this masterpiece. Two serial killers falling in love, what can go wrong? I loved reading about Rowan and Sloane and all of their not so typical "adventures." So excited to read the rest of the series!
