tw// threats of and acts of sexual and physical violence and torture of women
great writing (the best of Meghan O’Brien that I’ve read so far), complex characters, unique storyline, and gripping plot. the empathic/sexual connection between the MCs is hot. but there was wayyy too much “in the mind of a male psycho rapist serial killer” for my taste ESPECIALLY for a lesbian erotic novel.
reading segments from the killer’s POV was deeply disturbing and really detracted from the romance and erotic elements for me
