I couldn’t even enjoy the homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter because they were so poorly executed.
The miracle is that I finished this book. I hate read this book in the hopes of reaching a satisfying conclusion or that someone would make one fucking intelligent decision.
Everything that happens in the plot is so freaking convenient for these two it’s laughable. Some of the writing is just laughable as well. I’m no stranger to the gross, gore, and the transgressive, but trying to make this shit cutesy is places was just plain dumb. (Who labels the ingredients on their own homemade ice cream? Complete with bodily fluids? When they are a cannibal serial killer who has no interest in getting caught?) (Who uses someone’s dead mother a la Norman Bates to give a killer a heart attack and scare them to death? Wtf? That was so fucking idiotic d it wasn’t even satire)
I might read the second book in hopes that Rose or Lark will show up again, because they were the only two remotely interesting characters.

Good read for fans of horror, extreme violence, anti-heros, slasher novels, psychopaths, sociopaths, serial killers, dark romance stories of vengeance, torture, light BDSM, smut, rough sex, sprinkled with wit and dark humour.
Reads like a Christmas Hallmark movie for violent serial killers/ psychopaths/ sociopaths
