Tropes: Friends to lovers · Morally grey MCs · Serial killer x serial killer
Mon avis:
This book was everything I didn’t know I needed. Twisted, witty, sharp, and surprisingly emotional. The chemistry? Off the charts. The banter? Chef’s kiss. Brynne Weaver strikes a perfect balance between gore and tenderness, giving us two killers who somehow feel so human. I devoured it in one sitting and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. One of my favorite reads of the year—easily a coup de cœur.
