Content Warnings: sexual content, blood play, violence, gun violence, blood, torture, kidnapping, stalking, murder, mutilation, sexism, classism, toxic relationships, PTSD, and grief.
Mention of: sexual assault, rape, and child abuse.
Ngl the summary pulled me in but as I was reading the summary didn't seem to fit until later in the book. In the beginning she has no idea who the Ripper is, and though she does have some anger towards Jaxon it's for a completely different reason. Might sound weird...but I think I would have enjoyed the book more had the summary been a bit more accurate and didn't spoil a big part of the book 🤷🏽♀️
Individually I enjoyed getting to know the characters but...I feel like I needed more to show why their love/obsession with each other made sense...especially from Jaxon's POV. Also, when exactly did the Ripper decide he no longer wanted to murder Laine? It seems like he went from wanting to mutilate her to BAM wanting to destroy anyone that touched her...
I still plan to read more from this author and hope to connect better with the characters they write.

I have a strange feeling after closing this book.
There are many really good ideas and plots, I was hooked and I read this book within 24 hours. So I can assure that the story is good.
And there are as much as inconsistencies.
I cannot tell about the ideas and the plots because of “no spoil” mandatory but sometimes the timeline is blurry, the characters have strange behavior like illogical regarding the situation that they are involved.
Regarding the TW, Jaxon is a killer and a “dedicated” one. So there is a lot of blood, blood play…
The spice is light: 🌶️.5/5
