Philosophy and Serial Killers - my favorite! A short well written thriller with tons of tension.

This series.....just wowwwww. It's a roller coaster. And I read all 3 books in 3 days. They were that good. They are deeply philosophical and really made me think about things. It also came at a good time in my life where I'm doing a lot of introspection and staring into the abyss.

Kallum Locke….. lord have mercy. This man is insane and ya know what? I ate up every second of it. He was a little scary but I loved it!! Am I insane for enjoying this? Maybe. I blame the wattpad books I read in middle school for my occasionally depraved taste. TRISHA YOU FED US DARK ROMANCE GIRLIES. The part that really sucked me in…. The plot is so interesting. I’m actually so excited for the second book!! Kallum is insane, obsessed with the FMC, smart and cunning. He was a philosopher professor before he was committed into an insane asylum.. he calls her things like little Halen, his muse and sweetness. THE TWISTS HAD ME BY MY THROAT !! And the ritual scene broke my brain in the best way…. I love love love love Hollow’s row and my insane book boyfriend Professor Locke. He’s not even morally grey, he’s pitch black and I’m down.

But what is art and beauty if not pain? Anything which comes too easily is an insult to both the creator and the consumer. 

“I will make you see god for damn sure.”

My fingertips memorize the erratic beat of her pulse as she slips away. Bah-dah-bump. Bah-dah-bah-dah-bump. I want to carve it in my skin.

It’s okay. I wish we would see more cat and mouse game with them instead of cut and dried. We first got the hate/enemies part of it real fast. Instead of seeing things of how we got here first we slowly go back. Kallum is also edgy, try hard dude I feel like. To be fair, I’m deep in the Hannibal(the tv show) fandom so at the start I was comparing a lot and my cousin compared it to it when recommending it to me.

DARK romance. Includes ritualistic sex scenes, NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED.

Includes ritualistic sex scenes, very gory details of mutilations - human and animal. Very disturbing thoughts and confusing philosophical ramblings (haha!)

I loved the Silence of the Lamb meets criminal minds vibe I was getting from this book. I was sucked in from page one and I couldn't put it down, but I did need to sleep.  It had me guessing and I really didn't see any of the twists coming. And man that ending had me wanting the next book ASAP, it ended on a cliffhanger-ish so be warned. I would definitely check CW/TW, to name a few graphic murder, animal death, Miscarriage, and nonconsent consent. Now I am off to wait for the next book to come out.
