Description
Patience doesn’t kill for fun; she kills for justice. She’s dedicated her life to artistically dismembering sadistic scumbags and keeping everyone but her sisters at a distance—ideally six feet under.
Unfortunately, her current hunt has put her in unfamiliar territory, because while she’s ready for a fight, she’s not ready for him.
As a full-time financier and part-time mass murderer, Ethan Passmore knows how to bleed companies dry, and bodies drier. Stringing them up like macabre marionettes is the only time the obsessive-compulsive precision in his brain goes silent. His calling cards are precise, ordered—everything the thorny, chaotic bouquets he suddenly finds popping up in the city – are not.
They’re also his next fixation.
From light stalking to infuriating cat-and-mouse games, Patience and Ethan clash in a deadly battle of wits, slowly growing from bitter enemies to something unthinkable. But in this business, love is a lethal liability, and the hunters will become the hunted if they’re not careful.
Will this pair of hunters find their prey in time? Or will they remain blind to the danger lurking in the shadows?
* This is a spicy dark rom-com with explicit adult activities.

First and foremost.....WOW!!! I loved this book. The first thing that captured my attention was the title and cover. I am already a fan of the dark rom com genre and when I saw this, I knew that it would be an instant must read for me. The story did not disappoint.
I will always be rooting for the love between to serial killers that are "balancing the scales". Patience and Ethan did not disappoint. They both look at what they do as art and think it is done to perfection when they each manage to actually perfect the art of the other.
The relationship between Patience and her sisters is beautifully love, loyalty, and acceptance to an amazing level. The same can be said to Ethan and Mark. I wish we had more back story for both but I am hopeful that there are more stories to come from this universe.
An honorable mention is Gerald. That little guy had me chuckling at the antics.

Honestly I loved this book so much. This book was right up my alley.
I love strong women. Patience is a professional deleter. She only deletes the predators you know the bad men.
Patience discovers her very own stalker and well let's just say he is interested in the same hobby.
This gave me butcher and black bird vibes. I honestly enjoyed it.
The cover is what caught my attention. Then the description.

If you enjoy the unhinged, chaotic, and hilarious dark romances, add this to your TBR immediately.
The banter between our two main characters was next level. The way the MMC trolls her because he wants her to notice him. I was kicking my feet.
It is still a dark romance so check your triggers. But if you like your dark romance hilarious- this is the one!
POV: dual POV
Standalone: yes
Tropes/Vibes:
- serial unalivers
- he falls first
- stalking
- banter

This was dark, deeply emotional, and utterly captivating! A beautifully twisted story of obsession and passion that pulled me in and wouldn't let me go!
