What did I just read, and why did I like it? I used to read a lot of crime fiction, so the gore (plenty) didn’t push me away. I think I would have liked something a little deeper? But it’s not a serial killer psychological novel, it’s a romance. 

Sloane needed more fleshing out, more back story, which is alluded to but not fully explained. It’s one thing to avenge wrongs, another to cross the line to where she is making art work with people’s bodies. And I want to know how the guy at the end pulled it off, that seemed under explained. 

Still, fast paced, readable, a few lol moments, and a ton of very intense sex.

I loved Sloane and Rowan. They  both had a shitty childhood / past traumas and found a way to take back control and power.  Amongst their insecurities they have to learn to drop their shields and learn to trust. I am a sucker for a MMC that falls first! He was not letting his little bird fly away

The plot, the chemistry and the banter was definitely a 5 star read. But somewhere in their chaos it did start to drag a little. But I'm glad i read on as it was definitely worth it! That epilogue has left me needing more!

Also, I'm not ashamed to say i needed more of the detailed gory scenes and I'm definitely not put off ice cream! IYKYK ( cookies & cream) ✨4/5 ✨

Well written gory horror smut. However I couldn't get past the poor medical treatment of a dislocated shoulder. Don't know what that says about me but I really kept wondering if that shoulder was okay.
