For Readers Interested In: Thriller, Romance, Dark, AdultWhat would you do if you thought your coworker was getting away with murder—literally?
Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mold: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field . . . including fields of unmarked graves.
The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.
Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn’t come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can’t help but wonder if, finally, he’s found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.
Until Dolores asks Jake’s help to dispose of a body . . .
A morbidly funny and emotionally resonant novel about the ways life—and love—can sneak up on us (no matter how much pepper spray we carry).
*MY THOUGHTS*
This book was weird af. I don’t know even know what was going on. It was so much weird lol I don’t even know what it was that was going on. I legit spent most of this confused lol
Ok so if you’re wondering, there isn’t anyone that’s actually a serial k!ller in there lol Which was disappointing. And yeah I know that sounds crazy as hell but whatever. This was basically a book that had a lot of weird jokes lol And let me just say, it felt a lot like me. I always use humor to make myself feel better, and that’s the type of jokes this held. The weird dark, cringe like humor. The writing style in this was weird.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this tho. Like the reason why he was so set on making sure that things stayed the way they did was because of an actual big thing. One I wasn’t expected. And all these extra characters that kept popping up because of Dolores….. It was a lot. Idk I don’t think this one was for me, but then again I also thought it was???
This is a weird book. As it went on it grew on me, but I can honestly say this isn’t exactly something that’s for everyone. If you pick it up and read it, let me know what you think. I’m interested in how everyone else will come to this.
Overall, I give this
