Okay so I’m a lezzy, but sheesh these characters make my eyes roll… a lot. Be warned the only thing described in detail are their sex scenes… but skipped through those, gag. I saw great reviews, serial killer, strong woman lead and thought “sweet” let’s try it. I ended up listening to the whole thing cause there were bits where I thought it would get better but then it would slip back into more of a romance novel. The serial killer… so I do study history of real serial killers and this one does break the mold, but in a way that makes him very comfortable to read, he’s nice to dogs and babies. For a serial killer book where he’s going off killing dozens of women? It’s just weird. I returned, but if you’re looking for a romance of what is a strong female who totally saves her guy’s ass a few times, with a little murder and strange theme of adults who were abused as children, narrated horribly (narrator did voices but so weird for each character found it terribly distracting) than this is totally for you. Author did have some creative bits, and maybe a different narration would be less cringe but I’d still be wishing there was more thrilling investigation than “love making” and flirting. Plus they start hard and fast with it, and while I don’t know straight relationships… they reminded me more of “uhauls”, lesbians or I guess any couple that move in on the second date way too quick, & that alone made my eyes roll.
