Love in the Time of Serial Killers
One of Cosmopolitan's Best Romance Novels Ever Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating--and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst. PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analyzing the genre in her dissertation--if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years. It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier--a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.

This book moved sooooooo slowly. I felt like I was reading someone’s day to day life and it’s not that interesting. Phoebe Walsh is not very likeable even though she exudes the energy of an insecure girl and many people could relate to that. I skipped chapters at the end so I could be done with it. Ending wasn’t even that exciting..
Its probably me. I don’t have the patience for Phoebe who is so rude to her neighbor Sam. This is a DNF for me. So glad it was a loan from my local library. I’m sure they’ll be in love by the end of this book but I guess I’ll never know for sure. Can’t love everything!
Such a great read, just wish Phoebe and Sam had more time together.. or that there was a sequel or something. Talked a little too much about nothing sometimes, but overall a very very great read!
Cute but not a favorite of mine. I liked it the more I got into it but the first half dragged for me. I think I just disliked the "maybe he's a serial killer" thing at the beginning.
