“I want to ruin her so that she’s mine, my beautiful disaster. My wild creature. My goddess of chaos.”
The viral TikTok friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, chaos, and sizzling chemistry―unlike anything you’ve read before.
When a chance encounter sparks an unlikely bond between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, they find something elusive―the friendship of two like-minded, pitch-black souls who just happen to enjoy killing other serial killers.
From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country.
But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love.
Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves?
Or have they finally met their match?
Tropes: Golden retriever x black cat / He falls first / Touch him/her and die / Friends to lovers / Forced proximity / One bed

I don’t mean to yuck anyone’s yum, but hell-to-the-no.
I love thrillers and murder mysteries and I don’t know if it was the fact of the whole thing being so highly unlikely or what the hell it was. All I know is that this book made me cringe until I couldn’t cringe any longer.
I tried. I really tried. But, it was so underwhelming. The whole thing is just so dumb. Genuinely one of the worst things I’ve ever read. Gave me the ick.

OMG OMG OMG OMFG!!!! I loved this book normally I am not a romance kind of girl but their sick twisted love did it for me. I could not put this book down and was so sad when I had. (STUPID WORK) Both characters are written beautifully I wanted to be Black Bird and Butcher oh man he sounds so hot. I know they are killers but still, I LOVE THEM and I'm so happy they found each other. Anyway, I loved this book so much that after I was done reading it I thought about who would play them in whatever Netflix movie will probably get made that we will all probably hate.
This book was just okay. I was expecting more Dexter vibes but definitely didn’t fit the bill. It felt a bit juvenile and cheesy with multiple areas of the plot lacking. I won’t go into anymore detail as to not include spoilers.
My first audio book and it was the best to start with. Very gory and detailed, gives you goosebumps all along the way. Slow burn but definitely worth it
