3.5/5 Two crazy serial killers in love? Say less. It's the kind of story you don't know exactly how it's going to end, but you continue to read because you can’t stop. Don’t worry it’s a HEA, but it’s hard to imagine how two crazy, obsessive men who stalk and kill for each other will somehow end up together. "What I want is to be accepted and desired. I want to be craved. I want you to feel like you’d be miserable without me.” “Pretty isn’t a word I’d use to describe you. You’re volatile and arousing. You’re captivating and dangerous.” He moans when I rock into him. “You’re absolutely devastating.” "I didn’t want you to be hurt, but now you’ve hurt him, and he’s the only thing in this world that’s ever brought me any semblance of happiness.” You definitely need to be ready for an unconventional love story. However, I think it's worth reading. There's an age-gap trope which I think made the dynamic between them even hotter. I don’t know which of them I liked more. They were both different, but at the same time fit each other perfectly. Ezra was cold-blooded, grumpy, calculating, and calm, while Caspian was crazy, bratty, obsessive, and had a bit of a bad-boy vibe. "I blow out the smoke and turn my head to my right to find Kaspian at my side, a small grin on his lips. He’s dressed in his normal clothes with a mask pushed up to the top of his head." I certainly have a thing for men with masks, but this one additionally had tattoos, obsessive personality and crazy serial killer vibe. Perfect combination. "As he blows out the smoke, he says, “I just want a taste of your lips, even if I have to risk dying to get it.” Kaspian was crazy but I liked him A LOT. That might be my preference, but I love it when characters are really possessive of themselves, and they were supposed to be like that. There were, at the end, but not throughout the whole book. You will have to read to understand, but Kaspian went through "I don’t want him with any men, but he can fuck women and I might want to watch it" to "I will kill anyone who touch him". I wish he had the second vibe from the beginning. (SPOILER) Also, there was a conversation about a threesome with some chick, which luckily didn't happen. I would probably give it a one start if it happened, because possessive men don’t share. Period. Another thing I can’t comprehend is how did they get away with all the murders? I have so many questions because they killed a lot of people, but their methods weren't super calculated. Maybe it's just me but I've watched too many crime shows and I just can't understand it lol. Anyway, I will definitely be looking for more books by this author, because I enjoyed this one.

I enjoy a good MM Romance but this one wasn’t for me. I tried really hard to enjoy this one but couldn’t do it. For an MM Romance there was a lot about Willow’s untouchables. Add in all the plot twists and gore for the sake of shock factor. This MM Romance is between a psychopath and sociopath. With an extremely possessive bottom who has all the touch him and die vibes. Before reading this story be sure you check your TW. Mentions of death, murder, blood, suicide, rape, and child abuse are just to name a few. You may enjoy it but I didn’t.
