"I want to ruin her so that she's mine, my beautiful disaster. My wild creature. My goddess of chaos."
The viral TikTok friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, chaos, and sizzling chemistry--unlike anything you've read before.

From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, and from downtown Boston to rural Texas, the two hunters collide in an annual game of blood and suffering, one that pits them against the most dangerous monsters in the country. But as their friendship develops into something more, the restless ghosts left in their wake are only a few steps behind, ready to claim more than just their newfound love. Can Rowan and Sloane dig themselves out of a game of graves?
Or have they finally met their match? Tropes:
Golden retriever x black cat
He falls first
Touch him/her and die
Friends to lovers
Forced proximity

cute, psychotic, romance story
Published by Donna , 8 months ago
I would say the anticipation was high for this book. Interesting to say the least. Amazing character development. Original plot. Really good dialogue. Tit for tat kind of thing. Spicy parts took a while but that was ok because there was a LOT going in this story. Things that I never could of imagined, like homemade "ice cream" that no one should OD on. The push and pull was great. Relationships created were awesome. Leads to next story in the series!!!!!!!!!! The blood and gore!!!!
If you are looking for a different kind of spicy slow burn romance and not squeamish this is for you

I wish I could have read this book in one sitting but unfortunately work and sleep got in the way. I love a good friends to lovers slow burn and this book DELIVERED. The world and characters the author creates is amazing, not to mention delicious chemistry and humor. This book was actually funny and not in a cringey way. This was so so so close to a 5 stars but since I’m picky I give it 4.75. It’s only because of the second to last chapter. I will say though when I finished the book I kept thinking “now that’s real love right there”. So excited that this is a series and the second book is coming out soon!!
Such a slow burn

It is a slow read but enjoyable. The end picked up and created suspense and drama. I wish there was more intricate detail so the world became real.
I picked it up and didn’t set it down till I was finished.

Trigger warning: Accidentally cannibalism. “If you say count me in, this book is for you”
Not much else to say. One of the best written books I’ve read.
Best book I’ve read in a while!

I couldn’t put it down! The characters have insane chemistry! The humor in the book is a lot like humor that I share with my friends.
