This is now a lust story, not a love story 🙄

PLS BRING BACK MALE YEARNING

Tongue clucking: 9 times

🎧
The audiobook is decent.
The FMC is a handler for an author in this and can't seem to confess she was too busy stuffing her mouth with donuts when the author was murdered in the bookstore 🙄

My pattern recognization of the usage of: "clucking their tongue," has reached 7 times. Me: 😒 Can y'all think of another way to show displeasure

🎧

Not me wanting to strangle the FMC for still being in love with her ex-husband and he killed their marriage by his gambling addiction which left her broken and living in her car 🫠

I don't ever wanna hear about trains again after this book.

🎧 audiobook ver

This book is born when you combine:
-Survivor
-A reality tv show involving love involving 20 somethings
-Gordon Ramsey's blind taste food test
&
-A killer

Apparently, this is what my mind needed. The spice is really awkward.

I swear this book is one big miscommunication trope. Not to mention the over explaining of inner monologue 🫠 I'm trying.

OW 💩 to prove to the fmc that they literally cannot get it up for other women is really obnoxious and unnecessary imo

Word repetition is a great way to kill a book for me. I've seen primal so many times that I wonder if I'm reading an omegaverse book over a vampire book 😂

I've seen the word primal used in back to back chapters like 5 times. If I see it again, I'm gonna think I'm reading an omegaverse rather than dark vampire romance 😭

I have formed too many opinions about Hannah's husband, Ethan.
He's like: "I promise you that I'll talk to my mom about this," as she is clearly a narc and we know narcs have no boundaries.
Ethan clearly does not talk to his mom. I am really feeling for Hannah right now. It has been obv as why they eloped in the beginning lol.
Margaret feels like she's strangling me.
Daya Winters is doing a great job.

This book is really creeping me out and I goosebumps 😳 MILs are literally smothering.

Just a few inconsistencies that I've encountered: MMCs eyes are consistently blue and are mentioned as brown once at the gala. The couple also have dinner on their couch (also why don't characters in any books finish eating) and is later mentioned there's no couch 🫠 Why does my brain pick up on these things?

These characters don't know when to stop talking and spill things they shouldn't to others that arent to each other (the MCs). I sense a miscommunication trope and/or emotionally constipated one 🙄🙄🙄

I'm enjoying the concept (FMC is a therapist + serial killer) but I already placing bets the MMC will bone her before page 100 because my expectations of dark romance has drastically dwindled.

Also why do MMCs gotta nickname the FMC, "little _____?" It feels infantalizing.

Excuse me. This ARC is really doing things to my brain that I needed to get out of this reading slump 🫠😈

Mid-30s woman who has been pining for emotionally constipated bff Clayton since their 20s who became famous, went away, came back 1 yr later engaged to OW and gets angry she's fake dating a guy named Tucker who is worth her time. Bouncing back + forth between present & past. FMC who doesn't know her worth + moves into creepy house back in hometown that dead mom wanted her to & clashes with both men in present
