This book had caught my attention on Booksirens as it boasted as a "modern-day Bonnie and Clyde". For those who don't know, Bonnie and Clyde were one of history's most famous female and male duos for killing and crimes. The book starts with Bonnie killing a Judge and then after her crime, she turns and sees Clyde who had his plans for the Judge. He then proceeds to have his way with Bonnie and kidnaps her and slightly blackmails her. He plans to make her his own and his partner, but his weird mind means that he has to break her first and torture her to submit to him. I have to admit that I had hoped to see more of the crime aspect rather than the sexual / relationship side which is what this book focused on. It should be read with an open mind and if dark romance and R18 rated books aren't your styles, then you won't enjoy this book as it is a twisted dark read as bordered slightly on a case of Stockholm Syndrome but not as in her weird way Bonnie wanted to be with Clyde. If you love dark romances and wanting an edgy read, then check out Kill With Me by Melody Adams.

Dark, dirty, and absolutely brutal! I loved it. Bonnie and Clyde are ruthless vigilantes. They hunt down pedophiles and end them.

I adore how they met. Lots of filthy sex, a life of crime, and enough tension to have this be one hell of a novella.

I truly wish this were a longer book, or even better yet, a series full of Bonnie and Clyde's exploits. That would definitely be a hit for all the fans of dark romance I know.

Highly recommend for fans of vigilante justice and dark romance! I am leaving an honest review in for the ARC provided to me by BookSiren.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

If you’ve ever seen the TV series DEXTER, it’s like dexter but more intense. I can not stress enough that this will not be for everyone. There are contents of rape, force intimacy and killings to name a few.

Bonnie and Clyde are definitely products of their environment. If you ask me, Clyde is way more disturbing than Bonnie. The beginning of this story is intense so be prepared. For a book that is so disturbing, there were none stop sex scenes, but it was for a purpose on Clydes part. It’s definitely hard to put the word romance in this dark romance theme as it’s feels more dark erotica.

Overall, it is a short story, intense and disturbing. One questions one self as I kept reading and not able to look away. I took it for what it is, storytelling. If you are curious about this story, make sure your tolerance level is well high to receive it.

***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s definitely about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the stories you read. I hope this review was helpful.

Kill with me is a dark, sex-filled, twisted retelling of Bonnie & Clyde. This story is about two killers who kill those that are “evil” and have done atrocious things.

Clyde sees Bonnie kill and immediately falls in love. He believes she is his match and they are meant to be together.

This story is intense with many triggers, reader discretion is advised.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and will look for more books by Melody Adams.

Well, this was certainly different than anything I've read before. It was dark, twisted and violent but so entertaining. I just felt the amount of sex was unnecesary for such a short book. I'd rather read about their killings.

I received an ARC of the book via Book Sirens.

Whew, this was a twisted little novella. Bonnie & Clyde really stepped up their depravity here.
When two vigilantes meet, even in the circumstances they did here, a connection is born(or made), and there’s no choice but to go along with it. I do wish it had been a more organic get to know you, but I understand why what happened was necessary to remain true to Bonnie’s character, and even to Clyde.
This was a super quick read, and I wish there was more for me to binge because I think I might be in love.

Wow!! This is not a book for the sensitive types, includes rape, murder, foul language and explicit sexual scenes (descriptions). It is definitely edgy and full BDSM and erotica. I questioned myself thinking maybe I was a little twisted or psychotic just for reading the book, but still not willing to put it down. As far as endings go, I want give it away put I wouldn’t have guessed.

Hello darkness, my old friend.

Holy hell. This was a dark book. I cannot recommend it enough to fans of dark reads. A classic Bonnie and Clyde story with a HEA but in order to get to the HEA, you go through one hell (and I mean HELL) of a journey including but not limited to rape, murder, bloody sex scenes (yes, I mean that literally), it's just crazy. the whole thing is nuts. These characters are psychopaths and sociopaths at it's finest. Definitely an enjoyable read.

[Naomi Bigwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

One thing I can say about this book is that I have never read anything like it. There's kinky, and then there's KINKY, and this one was definitely the latter.

I liked the fucked up premise. I liked that both characters were basically vigilantes, morphed by their pasts and equally sadistic and fucked up. It made the read more interesting, because usually it's one main character that is messed up and dark, but in this one it' both.

Bonnie and Clyde. I jumped at the chance to read this because I've always been a fan of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. Of course, they were bank robbers in real life and this brings up a whole new twist, but still, I wanted to read it to see where it would lead.

I know this book is translated, however there were some grammatical and syntax errors that got in the way of some scenes for me. It wasn't overly annoying or hindering, but it was distracting-I'd think about how this would sound in German and if there was anything missing in translation-which is why this book is more 3.5 than four stars for me.

I enjoyed most of the steamy parts. Some of it was a bit difficult to swallow, and made me cringe, but most of the time I enjoyed it. Like I said, this book was KINKY. And I have read my fair share of kinky but this one takes a top spot for originality.

Kudos, Adams. Kudos.

The book was fast paced. That didn't bother me so much, but I would have liked the climax to be a bit more slow paced. It felt like there was conflict but it got resolved just as quick. I had hoped for a bit more tension before it all came to a head and everything was smooth sails again.

All in all, not my worst read, and something I will think about for a while, because yeah, it was that fucked up and kinky. Maybe in some ways I'm messed up too. Bonnie and Clyde would understand ;p.

DARK VERY VERY DARK NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!!!!
WARNING THIS BOOK DOES CONTACIN SOME VERY DARK CHAPTERS.
Bonnie had the worse start to her life and ended up on the streets at a young age. But as she got older she started to find the worse of the worse people and making them pay for their crimes. She enjoyed making them scream when she sliced them up.
On this night she was after a judge who had a thing for young children and he deserved everything he got!!!! Death was too good for him so she made sure he suffered. But she didnt realise she had a audience.
Clyde was after a paedophile, he thought he was above everyone as he was a judge but Clyde was going to make him hurt! But as he got to his house he found that someone had beat him to it and she was amazing. Clyde had never wanted a woman like she wanted her and it didnt matter if she wanted it too. He was going to take her and make her want him. He had plans for them both.
But would Bonnie want him? She had so much bad history with men that she never wanted a man in her life. But could Clyde make her see that they were made for each other??
WOW THIS IS SO DARK BUT SO HOT AS WELL. THESE TWO ARE JUST THE PERFECT PAIR. THEY HAVE BOTH SUFFERED THROUGH THEIR LIFES CLYDE WAS RELENTLESS IN HIS PURSUIT FOR BONNIE AND HE WOULDNT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER BUT HE MADE BONNIE FEEL FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY ARE JUST RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER. A GREAT READ!!!!

This is my first read about serial killers but the blurb intrigued me so much. I didn’t know what to expect but I enjoyed it so much.

Is it wrong to understand two serial killers?
I understand why people turn out like Bonnie and Clyde. I mean we are our experiences, sometimes your bad experiences makes you be a better person but sometimes you become more evil…

Also the fact that they only kill really bad people is a plus. If they killed good people it would be a hard pill to swallow but it’s not the case.
Clyde is enamored by Bonnie when he sees her in action and it was gruesome but also kinda hot.
Both of them have dark and violent pasts so the fact that Clyde immediately recognizes that only her could understand him and be his equal is Chef’s kiss.
Bonnie tries really hard to deny Clyde which I totally understand, she knows what he did to her it’s wrong but at the same time she knows she has the same darkness inside her and she knows she can’t deny him anymore.
The sexy times were really hawt! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also kids? I mean I’m happy for them, Jason is a mischief, he likes to cause trouble which serves both his parents right 😅.
He’s just adorable and I liked seeing how both Bonnie and Clyde are after leaving their serial killers life’s behind because of their children.
At the end I was rooting for them to not die so that tells you how good this is.

Definitely a 4.5 stars for me and you like dark, twisty, gruesome serial killers with an HEA this is for you.

**I received an advanced review copy for free**

When it says dark romance, it really means it! If you are a fan of Anna Zaires' books, this one is right up, your ally! I guess my main problem is what happens at the beginning of the book The not so consensual rape scene I was not expecting that and wish I had gotten a warning for that. It would have been interesting to see the characters act this way due to genuine interest instead of born from trauma.

I would have also loved to see them grow together in mutual respect rather than this being another kidnap/Stockholm syndrome book. The kidnapping genre has the negative effect of leaving the reader wondering if the characters would have had a connection if the snatching hadn't occurred in the first place. In this book, I questioned why it was there in the first place. It would have been interesting to see them in a cat and mouse chase, each finding that the other has killed their victim before the other arrived and eventually just working together.

I think I rated it so highly because I did enjoy Bonnie as a character, but I am a huge sucker for badass women. It was also a very easy read. I read it all at once and didn't get bored with it.

Overall I was really interested in the premise but I think that the execution could have been better. I would give it a 2.5. That being said, I would probably read a sequel.

WARNING: This novel contains strong and explicit language, graphic scenes or other sensitive or taboo content that may be disturbing to some readers. RAPE, Sadomasochism, torture and murder.

Bonnie was entering the Judge's house undetected. She had everything she needed to prove he was a child molester, but he didn't deserve a light sentence. She had other plans for him. She had no identification since she was only 12 when she had killed the foster dad who began molesting her when she was four. Now she was 21 and she was on a mission.

Clyde was surprised to find the Judge's alarm system disabled. Was there a burgler inside? He'd be damned if someone would interfere with his plans to kill the Judge, but he never expected what he walked in on.

They say the past makes you into the person you become. Their pasts made them monsters. This book is amazingly well written. Although they are both sadistic killers who go after pedophiles you know where they are coming from. Their chemistry is over the top hot. Despite all the torture the lived through and all they did even they found a happily ever after.

I would recommend this book. It reminds me of Criminal Minds, but from the eyes of a psychopath.

There were parts of the book I liked and parts I disliked. I liked the beginning except for how Clyde handled their first sexual experience in the scene at the judge’s home. I liked how Clyde was obsessive and possessive of Bonnie. I would have liked to have seen him treat her a little softer in the beginning. I liked that she was a strong female who went against those who had hurt children. I was expecting a few more collaborations between them in their criminal actions instead of having more back to back scenes filled with their erotic activities. I also think with the book using the names of such a historical criminal couple, one of the characters should have addressed it when they found out each other’s names. Some readers will be very impressed with the large number of erotic scenes for such a short book. This book isn’t for readers who have triggers for rape, violence, torture, and obviously murder from the title. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Kill With Me by Melody Adams is a dark, intense, scintillating story about Bonnie and Clyde. They are both killers who seek out those who have done heinous acts. He sees her doing this to one of his would-be victims and falls for her immediately. He is determined to make her his…in the most bizarre manner imaginable.

This story is very dark, intense, and has lots of triggers…..be warned. Not for the faint of heart!! That said, it was a fascinating, mesmerizing read!!!! I really enjoyed it….and the menacing undertones…WOW!!! Great story!!!!

A s3x-fueled retelling of Bonnie and Clyde full of destruction and torture. When these two killers meet and the world will burn, but first they will take out some bad men along the way. Their chemistry is off the charts as Clyde won't take 'no' for an answer until gets Bonnie to be his girl because he knows together they will be unstoppable. It's dirty and dark, twisted and brutal. I wish it was longer.
Warning there are scenes of rape and dubcon.

I still have my 😮and my hair stands on end. This Bonnie and Clyde are the most twisted.
This couple have in common a past full of abuses and violence that ends up turning them into ruthless killers. The only good thing is that their victims are child abusers.
The only downside to the book is that it focuses too much on the sexual aspect of the couple. I would have liked to see more of their kills together.
They are an interesting duo. Their love story is far from traditional, especially, seeing how they begin.

[Sydnie Nova · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't quite know how to review this one, to be honest. It's toted as a "modern day 'retelling' of Bonnie and Clyde". Although instead of really focusing on the criminal side of the Bonnie and Clyde story, this novella focuses more on the "adult" relationship of Bonnie and Clyde and in this story it happens by force and as a way to "break her" into Clyde's lifestyle(even though she's already a killer). So I was just confused when I read this because I expected one thing going in, and got something else. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

[J. Ockenhouse · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whoever said "two wrongs don't make a right" clearly have not met the dark, se*ier version of Bonnie and Clyde.

These two have a dark thirst that each satisfies. I don't want to spoil but it's a kink fest with dark twists. These two take broken and make it their own. It may be triggers for some but if you like dark erotic and always wondered how the most notorious couple would do in the dark than you have your question answered. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

Kill With Me was a great story. The plot was written well, it was packed with many emotions. Melody Adams did a great job on the book. Bonnie and Clyde were strong characters that completed each other, they were a lot a like. They made had instant attraction, they were drawn to each other, the connection they shared was strong and the chemistry between them was steamy. They were good together.
I enjoyed this story. Thank you, Melody Adams. Good work :)

At least I was warned. THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! That being said, if you want dark and depraved characters, this one is for you. Not going to lie, there were some parts I had to pause and just kinda compose myself because it was a bit much. My biggest issue however is, I wish there was more focus on the criminal aspect. I feel like it was a bit rushed.

When I saw a dark romance Bonnie and Clyde story I had to jump on it.

This dark and twisted romance had me questioning my sanity at more than one point.

I feel like there could have been way more plot I know it was a novella but we only get two scenes with a crime being committed.

I also wasn't sure about the ending.
