I want to say first that I have been putting this book on hold and I am glad I waited until I was in the right headspace.
I will also say, I get why some people don’t like this book and others love it. I did enjoy the book overall. Was it my favorite? No. Was it the worst I read? No.
I will read the other two books in the series because I am curious about the stories. I did like that the story itself was a happy ending with the smallest cliff hanger.
The plot was really nice and original. I love when serial killlers fall in love. I will say that the game aspect was a little slow and kind of a let down. I was expecting more but that’s okay. I did enjoy the banter between the main characters. I felt we didn’t get to really understand Solan’s and Lark’s relationship. I know they are best friends and they have a past. I am hoping in the second book that is laid out a bit more.
The page in a half of trigger warns was so helpful and I am grateful for it. I will say the only part throughout the book that was hard to watch was the ‘ice cream’. It actually made me nauseous but I continued on with the story.
I am happy to have read this book and learn about the characters.
I look forward to reading book two.
