I thought the writing was, technically speaking, subpar. There were several misused words, grammatical errors and odd sentence choices. The story was cute, but the plot is hamstrung at best. The end climactic event feels very random, and the story loses sight of its driving plot point (the goal of the competition). The characters fall a little flat — they seem too soft and fluffy for serial killers and Sloan loses some of her agency as the book goes on. I liked Sloan and Rowan together, but it never felt particularly real that these two people would be serial killers. Overall an enjoyable read, as long as you don’t think about it too hard.

Once I got into this book about 150 pages in, the story flew forward. It took a while for me to get into the plot, but for a dark romcom about two serial killers falling in love I thought it was great lol I’m looking forward to the rest of this trilogy! Definitely recommend checking trigger warnings.

I had so much fun with this book! The banter was so cheeky, it had me giggling while kicking my feet. I usually don’t do a ton of gore but the choice to go dark comedy made it thrilling in a way that didn’t feel excessive. I’m hyped to read the next one!

The writing was great and easily kept me engaged. It was dark, gory, but also lighthearted and funny.
